TESTIMONIALS

Imani Institute is the Beyonce’ of Cosmetology Schools!
— Candis (2014 Graduate)

My experience at Imani Institute was one I will always cherish. From my fun and helpful classmates to my lovely, supportive teachers, I felt encouraged every step of the way. I made friendships I will carry with me forever. I made mentors whom I feel I can call on at any point. I am glad I choose Imani and I am thankful for the time I spent there. I will miss the school and all the people in it tremendously. If you are looking for a cosmetology program, I highly recommend Imani Institute

Jody Pace 2021 graduate

My journey to becoming a professional hairstylist has been a dream of mine for years and choosing the right fit of a school was just the beginning of the road. When I first entered Imani Institute of cosmetology, after visiting other local schools. Rhonda gave me a tour of Imani and answered all of my questions making me feel comfortable. After the tour, I knew this was the school for me. The small classes and the chance to have one-on-one training and an extensive 9 weeks of back class training with instructors. This was a real treat, I had to join. On the first day of back class, I was a nervous wreck thinking about the worst possible outcome. Kate M, my instructor for the hair program made our whole class feel supper welcomed and supported. Over the weeks' Kate showed so much passion, love, and drive for this carrier it had all of us giddy and excited to hit the floor running. Kate has been a huge mentor for me here at Imani. I am very grateful to be learning from someone with such a drive for what she does. She is an incredible instructor with many years of experience.

Thank you, Kate, for making my experience at Imani even more memorable.

When I first thought of starting on this new adventure, like anything else I prepared myself to "shop" around and do my research on each school available in my area and which one would be the best fit. My first call was to Imani and I remember being welcomed on the phone as a potential new student and was placed on a quick hold while the front desk went to get the owner, Ronda. All of my questions were answered and I was invited to come in and take a tour and meet the instructors, I set up that appointment for later that week and was so impressed when I visited the school. There was a positive energy around my whole visit, Ronda was kind and professional, she walked me around and every person she introduced me to was so welcoming and excited to share their experience. I was so impressed and the imprint the owner, instructors, and current students left on me made my next decision very easy. I did not need to look any further, I knew I found the school for me. I can not thank Ronda, Dan (co-owner), and instructors at Imani Institute enough for the value they have added to my journey to become a licensed esthetician. I am so appreciative for the communication at school between everyone, most of all I am grateful for the continuing education and opportunities provided beyond the traditional guidelines. I am grateful for the instructors, Thank you Imani Institute for being the decision I made in my process. Imani truly is the diamond school for cosmetology.

No other school provides one-on-one instruction like IIC. The staff is friendly, caring and thoughtful to create a personalized education for each student. Building my resumé was easy because of my training and advanced classes.
— Ivy (2014 Graduate)
I feel the education I received was beyond any other cosmetology school in Southern Oregon. Not only did I get a good education, but all the instructors and students were welcoming. I feel like they were there for me to turn to when I needed them for help or instruction. The facility is very professional, organized and hip. I would recommend this institute to anyone. I loved my time there.

Imani is the ultimate cosmetology school! The instructors and staff go above and beyond to ensure your education doesn’t just meet state requirements, but prepares you above and beyond for a lucrative career.

Janine Wine: Small Business Owner and Licensed Esthetician


How I Got Here, My Esthetics Journey:

Born and raised in the beautiful Rogue Valley. Early on, I developed a passion for skin, the body’s largest organ; and beauty, which comes in many different colors and forms. After graduating from Imani Institute of Cosmetology and becoming a licensed professional; I opened a private studio, in Phoenix Oregon, called Refine Skincare and Sugaring. Currently, I’m certified in dermaplaning, sugaring, as well as a Face Reality Acne Specialist. I offer customized facials, peels, acne treatments, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, Celluma LED light therapy, Esthemax Hydrojelly masks, Esthemax Botox facial, high-frequency treatments as well as sugaring and waxing. I use and carry retail products from several professional skincare companies including GlymedPlus, Face Reality, Hale&Hush, and Tamara’s Sugar.      

As a licensed esthetician, I have the training and specialized tools to be able to help alleviate problematic skin issues, such as acne or remove unwanted hair. I also provide soothing skincare and relaxation for the body and mind. The beauty and skincare industry will continually be expanding and evolving. Therefore, the possibilities for advancement feel endless and I truly love my career, as an esthetician!
