Privato apprentice academy is such a welcoming and supportive environment. I’m thankful to have attended this school. Lisa has such a passion for teaching and has truly inspired me and pushed me to my fullest. She makes learning fun and engaging! Beyond the classroom, she has also taught us students life lessons such as; budgeting, retirement, etc. that I will carry on with me even after I leave the classroom. Her dedication and hard work does not go unnoticed. Thank you Lisa for your hard work, taking the time to ensure we have the tools and knowledge to succeed, and for caring for us students.

Lisa has been my hairdresser for over 23 years. I have witnessed 1st hand her natural ability in coaching her assistants into successful hairstylists. Her expertise and knowledge is unprecedented. I would recommend the Privato Apprenticeship program to everyone.

I assisted for Lisa almost 10 years ago and would not be the successful stylist and business owner that I am today without her expertise. She’s a friend, teacher, business coach and your biggest cheerleader! The opportunity to learn from one of the best in our industry is invaluable.
