I am so glad I chose to enroll in this school. The well-structured and professional system here truly impressed me. I feel fortunate to have been a student of two amazing teachers: Miss Cathy for esthetician classes and Miss Sandra for laser and electrolysis training.Miss Sandra reminded me of my favorite teacher from childhood. I am deeply grateful to have been her student. She is an exceptional professional who generously shared a wealth of knowledge. She has a remarkable ability to simplify even the most challenging material, making it easy to understand and engaging. Miss Sandra did an outstanding job with all of us.At the same time, Miss Cathy is also an incredible teacher who is always ready to help and provide expert advice. She shared fascinating stories related to our future profession, making her classes both insightful and inspiring.

Miss Sandra, the Laser & Electrolysis instructor is absolutely phenomenal. Shes very passionate about the curriculum and making sure every single student understands. Shes extremely personable and really cares about her students, I cannot say enough good things about Miss Sandra. I am incredibly grateful to have her as my instructor!

Ms. Sandra and Ms. Cathy are by far the best teachers at this school! They are not only very knowledgeable about their areas of practice, but are also very passionate. This is reflected through their teaching, which makes it super easy to go to school each day. Although the admin tries their best, there are some definite staff/criteria changes that need to be made apart from Ms. Cathy and Ms. Sandra. I cannot say enough positive things about both of them.

I had the pleasure of learning from Ms. Rachel, and I can honestly say shes an exceptional esthetician teacher. Her knowledge of skincare and beauty treatments is extensive, and she has an amazing ability to break down complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand. Ms. Rachel is not only skilled in her craft, but she also genuinely cares about her students success. She fosters a supportive and encouraging learning environment, which made me feel confident and motivated throughout the course🩷

Ms. Sandra is the most thorough teacher I’ve ever had. I am very confident in every answer I give and am more excited to take the exam than nervous. She makes sure to hit every learning style and it’s so helpful, being that there’s so much information being fed to us at such a fast pace. Much love for her.

I can not only speak for myself, but for my fellow classmates. We were so very lucky to learn from the best. Miss Rachel made class informative and enjoyable. I’ve never had a better school/class experience in my life and I can thank Miss Rachel for that. I’ll always be grateful that’s she got to be an essential part of my journey to becoming an esthetician!

Ms. Sandra was the best teacher for our laser semester! Due to her great knowledge from past experience, she led us to success in passing the state boards. Her teaching style is very helpful and easy to follow.

I’m about to graduate from the skin care specialist program and I was lucky enough to get an amazing teacher who cares about you to her core, pushes you to be better and boost your confidence every step of the way! Ms.Rachel truly impacted me so much and I will be forever grateful for her guidance and kindness. BHI is the best and if you have Ms.Rachel as a teacher you are in the best hands!!!

Ms Rachel was hands down the BEST instructor, came in class everyday with positive attitude and made the night class very fun and exciting. Definitely going to miss her!! My overall experience at BHI was amazing and I would definitely recommend this place!

I am currently in Ms. Sandras class for Laser and Electrolysis and I am pleased to say I am having the best time. She is a wonderful teacher who cares about her students and their success. She goes above and beyond to help each student and their learning needs. I highly recommend taking the Medical Aesthetician program and if you are on the edge of deciding with to take the Laser and Electrolysis portion just know you will be in amazing hands with Ms. Sandra.

Review 15 (2024-12-10 - Rating: 5)
I feel very blessed to have been accepted at BHI. BHI did a great job preparing me and educating me throughout the medical aesthetician program. I finished off my program with Ms.Sandra, I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher! Sandra is very educated in her field and has a great teaching style you rarely see. She takes time to focus on her students and make sure we were grasping all the information provided. Ms.Sandra made me feel welcomed and accepted no matter the day. I am so thankful for my experience from the school to the education to the teachers.

Review 16 (2024-12-06 - Rating: 5)
I currently attend BHI as a student and couldnt be more happier with my experience! From day one, the staff and instructors were incredibly welcoming and supportive. The curriculum was comprehensive, covering everything from skincare basics to advanced techniques, and I felt well-prepared for my future career in the beauty industry. My teacher (Ms. Cathy) goes above and beyond to foster her knowledge and passion into each student.I also appreciated the school’s commitment to professionalism and ethics, preparing us not just as beauty professionals but as responsible and caring individuals in the industry.Overall, I highly recommend Beauty and Health Institute to anyone looking to pursue a career as a Medical Aesthetician, Esthetician, or a Laser Technician. It truly changed my life, and Im excited to embark on this new chapter with the skills and knowledge I gained. Thank you, BHI for this unforgettable experience!

I loved my experience in the facial specialist program with Ms. Rachel! Shes the best teacher and I learned so much over the semester.

I graduated today from BHI, and I had Ms. Brooke for a teacher. She’s VERY educated, professional, and still made everything so much fun. She has also been extremely supportive of everyone’s job searches/possibilities.

I just graduated the Medical Aesthetician program!! I previously left a review for Ms.Cathy, who is an amazing, sweet, facial instructor and I thank her so much. My instructor for Electrology & Laser was Ms.Sandra and I cannot say enough kind words about my time with her. Ms.Sandra is charming and truly cares about her students; she is the best person to prepare you for the IBEC State Board Exam (which I passed on the first try). Her background includes being the V.P. of the American Electrology Association, President of Electrology Advisory Board for the State of New Jersey, and President of the Electrologist Association of New Jersey and more. Huge love and thanks to Ms.Sandra and Ms.Cathy for making this the best experience possible!!!!!!

Ms Sandra is an excellent teacher! I learned a lot from specifically her teaching. Ms Cathy is also an excellent teacher. The other teachers are ok.

I’m a current Medical Aesthetician student in Ms.Cathy’s class… she is absolutely amazing!!!!! Couldn’t wait to give her a review. She is caring, extremely knowledgeable, professional, funny, and helpful. I feel lucky to have her as my instructor. The rest of the staff is wonderful as well. If you’re thinking about enrolling, I encourage you to go for it. No regrets!

I rarely post reviews but this time it is totally necessary! After retiring from the Corporate rat race and the hustle of business for many years I relocated to Tampa, Florida. I then decided to pick a new path that would allow me to help others as well as myself by selecting a new profession in a peaceful environment. My new path lead me to beauty school! I researched all of the top rated schools in the Tampa area for weeks and then I set appointments to tour the top picks.Beauty & Health Institute stood out from all of the other beauty schools like a bright shiny object! And they have made even more outstanding additions to enhance the student experience there since I began and completed the program.Although, I did experience some challenges along the way, the Administration staff did an amazing job at listening to my concerns as well as assisting me in overcoming my obstacles to successfully complete the program.I was blessed and grateful to be able to complete the Facial/Skin Care Specialist program under the Leadership and instruction of Ms. Brittany. Ms. Brittany is one of the most professional, personable, knowledgeable, informative and kind individuals that I have ever encountered in the beauty industry. With Ms. Brittanys help and guidance, I completed the Facial/Skin Care Specialist program with ease and absolutely no stress at all! Thank you so much Ms. Brittany, for all of the motivation, inspiration and encouragement that you provided to me to complete the program, YOU ROCK!!!!!If I could give Beauty & Health Institute more than 5 stars I would as they are well above and beyond a 5-Star Rating! And if you make the wise decision to attend Beauty & Health Institute then consider yourself extremely blessed and highly favored if you have the opportunity to experience Ms. Brittanys class, she is indeed a top-notch educator! #TrueStory

As a 30 year old that never attended college and has been out of school for 10 plus years it can be very intimidating attending a new school. I assure you BHI is here for you! From the amazing administrative staff, to the FANTASTIC teachers. You will leave feeling loved, smart, and ready to take on the Esthetic world. I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Cathy and Ms. Brooke. Both were angels on earth, very educated, easy to approach and your #1 fan! If you are thinking about signing up for your future in Esthetics, look no further! I highly recommend attending BHI. They are here for YOU. :)

Had the best time with Mrs. Cathy and Mrs. Sandra. Both amazing instructors that have so much fun but have had plenty of experience to make sure we are successful. They want nothing but the best for their students. Thank you!

Honestly would only recommend this school for Mrs. Olga, I graduated from the Electrolysis program a few months ago and can 100% say I’ve never felt more prepared to take the state board/ treat clients/ go on interviews..…thanks to Mrs. Olga. Ive never had a teacher take so much personal interest in making sure her students are well prepared for the real world and can confidently explain laser and electrolysis! Even after going through esthetic school somewhere else, I learned so much that helps me out today through her. Her teaching style is different but it works and her years of experience and countless successful students are proof!

Review 28 (2022-01-26 - Rating: 5)
I just graduated from beauty and health institute and had such a wonderful experience that I was actually sad to go! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mrs.Olga. I feel truly lucky to have crossed paths with such a knowledgeable and kind woman. She put 100% into teaching her students and genuinely cared about us. She always made an effort to keep the class interesting and teach with high energy! She also spent extra time with students who were struggling and made sure no one got left behind. These are all qualities that are hard to come across nowadays. Overall great experience! Administrative staff were always very kind and professional as well.

Review 29 (2022-08-03 - Rating: 5)
I graduated from the medical aesthetician program back in February and have already written a review but I feel I should write another as I see a few negative reviews about the teachers. I had Ms. B for my skin care class and absolutely fell in love with skin because of her. She is very personable and makes the class fun. Would always be making our class laugh, connecting what we were learning with the outside world, and was always hands on with us which is what made what we were learning easier to understand. She is an amazing teacher. For my electrology class, I had Mrs. Olga, who is also an amazing teacher. She may be alittle blunt and very hard on you sometimes but that is only because she wants you to pass the state board as you are spending lots of money and time to do so. Mrs Olga cares about all of her students and pushes you to be the best you can be. I’m very saddened to see any negative reviews about her or any other teachers. With that said, I couldn’t have chosen a better school to start my career in!

My experience at Beauty & Health Institute (BHI) was terrific and I highly recommend attending if you are interested in getting licensed! I wish I had chosen BHI first before I wasted my time and money attending a newer (and much cheaper) school in Tampa. (More on that below.) I found BHI to be very professional and extremely well run from the initial school tour to orientation to graduation day. Everyone on the staff and administration was friendly, genuinely helpful and always answered my questions in a timely manner. My instructor Ms Cathy is a sweetheart and was extremely passionate about everything related to skincare and I found each class lesson to be very interesting and engaging. She always took time for us and treated everyone equally with great respect and she demonstrated endless patience to help those who were behind and struggling. Happily, I graduated and got my facial specialist certification in December 2022. Regarding the other school I withdrew from, please learn from my mistakes; 1.) I would not attend a school where the owner/administration/instructors are all the same person. You want administrators and instructors separate from the owners (Like BHI) 2.) Choose a school that has been in business for several years. (Like BHI) 3.) Choose a school that is listed by Better Business Bureau and also has a good rating (BHI is A rated on BBB). 4.) Don’t rely solely on Google reviews! The owner of the school I originally attended was extremely intimidating and known to get mediocre or bad reviews taken down and get former students to only write glowing reviews. (Any business with exclusively 5 star reviews and not one lesser review is a red flag.) Speak directly with other former students to get their candid input. 5.) Only choose a school where you can tour while classes are in session like BHI does. You want to view the instructors personality and teaching style, even if only for a few moments. Good luck in your endeavors! And a huge thanks to Ms Cathy and everyone at Beauty Health Institute for a wonderful experience!

I attended BHI for the medical aesthetician license, and I could not recommend this school more!! From the teachers to the equipment to the products we us, this school is the best of the best. Ms Bobbie was my teacher for the laser program, she is beyond educated and full of experience! You are lucky if you can land a spot in her class, she is absolutely amazing. I had Ms Bianca (who is unfortunately no longer there) and Ms Betul for the facial program. Both are amazing and educated on skin care. BHI uses top notch equipment for laser and for skincare. They have Candela Laser, SkinPen microneedling, Casamara masks, Hydrafacial machines, Dectro electrology units, just everything we used here is the best in the industry. They have great discounts and deals on products, supplies and machines once you graduate. 10/10 school. I’m sad I graduated :( I will miss seeing the teachers and staff every day.

I absolutely loved the staff I interacted with on a daily basis especially my teacher Ms. B! When she came on board she provided more structure and valuable information to help further assist us as professionals. Her dedication to her students is beyond the classroom. She ensures we have plenty of time and practice to perform as great professionals once we graduate. The improvements she provided to this institute are invaluable. Thanks Ms. B!

I have previously left a review but have more good things to say! I graduated at the beginning of 2022. I was lucky enough to have Olga as my teacher during the fall semester. Since graduating I have performed laser services as well as worked as a medical assistant alongside a doctor. I’ve now continued on to work with Dermatology providers. I could not have accomplished any of this without Olga! When it came to teaching she went above and beyond. Although the primary learning objective was laser and light she also gave me the knowledge I needed to work on the medical side of aesthetics. I’m so sad to see negative comments being made about her. I could not have accomplished my career goals without her.

I have been so excited to write this review. I have nothing but great things to say! This school is 10/10 absolutely amazing! I was extremely nervous to find a school I was going to be comfortable at. I did SO much research on all the schools in the area and let me tell you, the minute I walked in the door for my school tour I knew this was the place for me. If you are in the same boat, stop right now and schedule your tour. I graduate this week and I am so sad to be leaving. I knew little to nothing about skin coming in and I feel so prepared and ready for my next journey. You will get all the knowledge and education you need here!! It’s mainly hands on learning which was my favorite part of school. Everyone who works here is so professional and friendly as well. You won’t find a better staff anywhere else. You are always welcomed with such a warm friendly smile every morning from Gianna. Jesmen is always walking around with a smile and happy to help you with anything you need! Ms B and Ms Cathy (skincare instructors) are THE most amazing instructors you will never get!! I can’t say enough great things about this place. I can’t wait to continue my education in the future. Thank you BHI!!! ♥️

My best experience with Beauty and Health Institute was my instructor, Ms. Bianca Marrero. She not only brought k knowledge into the classroom, but also her priceless experience in the field. She ensured that we not only had the technical head-knowledge but also lots of hands-on practice. She ensured that we looked at ingredients rather than brands or what a product said it was for. I find that Ms. Bianca Marrero went above and beyond to mentor us. Thanks to her we came out of the program as confident Estheticians, knowing everything we need to know, and having enough hands-on experience to succeed in the field. I came out of her class with full confidence to open up my own business. It has been two years since then and I have implemented everything she thought us (never skipping anything). The results: I have only had happy clients who keep coming back to me and refer me to their friends and family. I thank Ms. Bianca for my success, despite of becoming a new business owner right at the onset of COVID. I highly recommend her to anyone who signs up to the esthetics program at BHI. Thank you Ms. Bianca!!!

My wife is a student at this wonderful institute. She has had nothing but wonderful things to say about this place. I wanted to see for my self, so I booked a Microdermabrasion facial. I had the pleasure of meeting the teacher Cathy, who was very insightful and knowledgeable. I had one of the most relaxing days in my life. I would highly recommend to visit.

This is the most affordable CEU training in Florida for live hours... and they are very flexible. The best choice for live hours for electroloy renewal hours for electrology in Fla.... Dont get ripped off go here it is priced right and fair so it is affordable. The teacher is lovely... Much better than getting ripped off by the scammers that charge $300 to $350 for the same thing so they line their pockets....We are beating into the ground as electrologists with limits and fees. There needs to be a break and this is one of them.. Use here for all your live hour at a price it should be and not so costly.. I cant afford all these large costs. The most affordable CEU hours for electrologists in Florida and here... The teacher is wonderful..

Review 47 (2014-07-18 - Rating: 5)
Id thought about laser hair removal for years. But apprehension prevented me from proceeding. Fears of scaring, ineffective results, and inappropriate candidacy prevented me from moving forward with the venture. In June 2014, I went to HBI for a mani-pedi with Natalia...which was AWESOME. Even after THREE weeks, my gel polish remained intact with NO chipping, no fading. The only way one could tell it was an old manicure was from the ~3mm nail bed growth and polish grow-out. Needless to say, Natalia is my nail tech for LIFE!! The private room ambiance and Natalias personalized attention is truly a SPA experience:)Once there at HBI, I learned about the differing techniques for laser hair removal on AA skin tones. Jackie R. took the time to show me the laser device at HBI and explained that YAG is best for dark hair / dark pigmented skin. Jackie was open and transparent enough to show me her own underarm and bikini area...wow! Impressive. Clear skin, no hair growth, no scaring or hyperpigmentation after 3 years. Jackie assured me that I was a fine candidate and that ingrown and hyperpigmentation would certainly improve with laser treatment.I scheduled an appointment for laser hair removal for the following week, with treatment areas being underarms and...wait for it...BRAZILIAN...aagghhhh!! The beginning of the session was a little uncomfortable at first...but you get used to it. And...the Brazilian was not bad at all!! All areas took approximately 35 minutes to complete....NICE!! I can HONESTLY SAY that even after that first treatment, I saw a noticeable difference in my skin, especially underarms. It is now 3 weeks later and I am soooo impressed. My shaves are smoother now and the shaving results last longer. If this is the result of just ONE treatment...I am sooo loving it!!So, you need to get repeat treatments every 8 weeks for approximately one year...but well worth it!! Results can be seen almost immediately - and skin tone and texture have improved for me dramatically. I can only imagine how ecstatic I will be one year from now with beautiful even colored chocolate skin tones and...NO HAIR...bye-bye shaving & waxing:)I enthusiastically endorse Health & Beauty Institute in Westchase, Tampa, FL!!!
