Testimonials

I went here as a student and it is a wonderful school!! They go above and beyond with the teaching. I still come here to get my hair done once and a while. 🙂

- Jessie M.

…The instructors are very knowledgeable and always make sure you feel comfortable and confident in your work. The school itself is pretty and very clean. My classmates are very welcoming and talented. Overall a great learning environment. I would highly recommend COLLECTIV to anyone interested in cosmology school!

- Alexa S.

As a new stylist working in a salon I needed a hands on class to help me improve my cutting skills. I drove 2 hours one way each day to take the four day hair camp and it was worth every dime for the class even taking off days for work when I could have been making money. They have amazing educators that are patient, kind, and give you a lot of one on one help. I will be taking more classes from them in the near future.

- Rebecca D.

This school is the best in the Dfw area! The instructors are knowledgeable and caring, especially Ms. Amanda and Brayden. If you want to feel like and know that you can apply what you learned as soon as you graduate then go here. I promise you won’t regret it. ❤️
