I took my practical yesterday 4-18-22 in NC and just found out today I passed with an 87 after being out of school for almost 7 years! Thank you Ms.Evelyn - I watched this video several times!

Believe in Yourself & anything is possible 💕

I passed my practical 2 days ago because of this video 🤍🤍 I'm getting my license now!!!! I'm in ATL GA! As of right now, only difference was we did 4 marcel on top of head, a whole quadrant for virgin relaxer and we stood for facial.

Thank you Ms. Evelyn!! I watched this religiously for a week straight before my exam🤍

It’s been 10 years since I was in beauty school. I watched this video everyday for about 2 weeks before my test. I took my test in Glendale, CA and I PASSED! Thank you Ms Evelyn!!

I’m only 17 mins in & I feel like I already learned more from this video than in my almost 2 years of school (granted a large portion of my school was online due to Covid so it was much harder to work hands on at home without teachers or help). My test is in two weeks and I’ve been dangerously anxious about passing

[raeganbarton]

I must have watched this video 10 times over the last month. It helped me organize my thoughts and have more structure than what was taught to me at school. Happy to report that I passed my test in GA using this video. The main difference (I found) was during the chemical portion: you will have to do a whole quadrant for RELAXER. I did not pack enough because she only does one slice. Good LUCK!

I am in Atlanta Georgia and I just pasted my practical yesterday with a 85 thanks to this awesome video !!! Thank you so much !!!!

[ayanasimone]

[shalishiadeann]

Ms. Evelyn, I want to thank you for this video. It's been over 10 years since I've been to school. Plus, my school didn't properly train me for the practical anyway. That's one reason why I never took the practical, but after watching this video I passed my practical with an 83! I'm now a license cosmetologist. Thank you!

[trinarose]

This video was so helpful. I just passed my practical today and am now a licensed cosmetologist! Thank you for doing this.

[dauntlessbeautytv]

I want to thank ms.Evelyn for this. My school had a whole change due to covid and some teachers worked from home. This truly help me understand what I did wrong after I failed twice. I put it off for almost a year and i finally took the leap of faith. I passed my practical with an 87 Dec. 6TH and I have submitted for my application for my license yesterday. Thank you from Virginia!
