I came in for a one day class for sugaring and I was provided with the best education , they answered all my questions and were very detailed with the course. The esthetician program they provided is very hands on and I’m glad to have choose this institute for my education. The staff is very welcoming. The education this institute provides is amazing!!!

After looking at other school options to get my esthetician license this school seems to be the best choice and it definitely was! They do not teach extra textbook material that wont be on your exam . Our Lab teacher Ms.Shahla is heaven sent . Her level of expertise makes it all worth it . Shes very hands on, knowledgeable ,and very straightforward. You're able to take clients here and get all the scares out before going into the field. Highly recommend this school if you're looking to get serious about your career.

If you're serious about wanting to go into the beauty industry and are self driven you will succeed at ZMS. They're on an open track so you can start anytime. Ms. Dolores is an excellent theory professor who makes herself available to her students even if you need extra help. Gabby was my lab instructor. She was ALWAYS so patient and anything I was curious about and I wanted to learn she'd teach me. Jazreel front office girl is also so helpful and made me feel welcomed from the very first time I went to the school to get information. The staff at Zms is amazing. Another great thing about Zms Academy is the amount of modalities (equipment) they have. Anything you read in your textbook you can learn in school (not all schools offer modalities that you will find at Zms). Some students had a main focus on what they wanted to do and what's great is that they could focus on mastering those skills. I took an open approach and exposed myself to anything and everything. I passed my state board first try and was able to do so with the books provided by Zms. Another benefit of graduating from Zms is once you come back with your license they give you multiple full back bar products so you can jump right into working as a licensed professional.

I was a student at ZMS from October of 2022 to August of 2023. I took the esthetician and PMU course, I loved it so much I wanted to continue. I’m a newly licensed esthetician thanks to the training I received at this school. If you want to go to a school that will not only teach you up to date techniques, uses a wide variety of quality products and can experience different technology, ZMS is the place for you. ZMS is in the heart of Boyle Height’s, close to DTLA, accessible via public transportation by either buses or metro. Ms. Judy and Ms. Dolores are exceptional. You get great support to get you ready for the state exam, taught by Ms. Dolores. When you complete the program you will receive 2 great product kits and more for your back bar. Schedule your tour asap, don’t wait because time doesn’t wait for no one. Take the first step for a new career or to continue to grow professionally. Let them know who recommended you. -Alba

I was really looking forward to starting the cosmetology program with ZMS until I was in a car accident and asked if I could reschedule my appointment for enrollment. I still had five days prior to my start day that I could have come if they had been understanding and let me reschedule. Being in the car accident was very unexpected and although another driver was at fault and their insurance eventually provided a rental car, it wasn't in time for my appointment for enrollment. I tried to call to explain the situation but no one answered or even gave me a callback afterwards. I had to call again and when I explained the situation to the receptionist she said the director of the program had decided to give my spot to someone else. I understand the need of filling the program but changing my appointment for enrollment to a day later wouldn't have changed my start date. But what did was them because she said they were apparently going to try to have me start the day of my appointment for enrollment without even consulting with me to see if I was available after the appointment to start classes 2-10pm. The way the whole situation was handled was just very off putting, disappointing and frustrating. I can't say much about the school or the program, but the impression I have of the school, the director and the receptionist... has just made me realize maybe it was a good thing that it didn't work out there and that I want to be at a school where they understand life circumstances always in our control and they will try to accommodate with the student because it's about helping them learn from the program and better their life, not about the money the program brings in. Needless to say, even though I was told the next round of the program would start December, I am no longer interested in going to this school and will be looking elsewhere to help me achieve my dreams.

Definitely happy I choose ZMS as my school, I 100% recommended! My experience with the school and staff has always been good. Out of the six months being in zms esthetician program I definitely learned as much as I could and took advantage of all the supplies/equipment, experienced hands on activities, and gained great knowledge thanked to Ms.Gabby.Thank you to Ms.Gabby and everyone there!

I went here back in January 2023. I needed just a hair trim but later I changed my mind to get a haircut. I was brave enough to get serviced by Gio and I don't regretted at all. He gave me one of the best haircuts ever. I had so many compliments and I always brag that it was Gio from ZMSThe Academy Beauty School on Cesar Chavez in East Los Angeles

She makes sure we are on top of our game, we game plan together and she allows me to exicute all goals and challanges! Supports us 100%.There is major hands on work here so be ready to dive in and get to work. This program is amazing! P.s. Ms. Judy has the best Detox. Come grab your today!!

Started in late July 2022, ** (Barber program) ** licensed April of the next year, All the staff are amazing, and I appreciate all of them for the great energy. The instructors for the barber program will help you learn and continue on. When I first started, I knew no technical terms or any of the material for the state test, but through the studying & the instructors’ teaching, I passed the state exam 1st try. The amount of hands on ( a lot of it) work/learning you do keeps it fun and interesting, you will always be able to practice haircutting, styling, coloring etc at the school. Up to you, to put in work or not. You’ll meet other students that are cool & similar to you. Judy, the owner, runs this school with care, and doesn’t cut corners, she gives the things we need and also the extra wants. It doesn’t feel like a chore to be in school, like college or grade school. Go and get a tour to see it for yourself. As a Licensed Barber from there, I say skip the tour and join, but power to you.

100% recommend this school. The teachers are great- their main goal is to pass their students. I got my esthetician license here and they even helped me prep for my interview with my current employer. Definitely worth every penny.
