Oh where do I even start!!! SBMA is an all around AMAZING school, it was such a fun experience and I learned SO much!! All the instructors pour their time, love, energy, and heart into every single student. Clinic started feeling like my second home only weeks after starting the program and I made so many close friends:) All the students were always super nice, supportive, and helpful… there was never any drama or people feeling excluded which I loved🥰 The environment is sooo welcoming and an amazing place to achieve your goals!! SBMA teaches you all the basics and WAY more, making sure you have all the knowledge you need for the industry. I would 100% recommend this school to anyone who has a passion for the beauty industry, massage, or herbalism☺️

The BEST school experience I could have ever asked for. Every single instructor is amazing, experienced, and nurturing, and takes the time to teach and develop all of their students. I got so much hands on experience in the student clinic that is invaluable. The classes and clinic does a wonderful job of preparing students for the board exams and I felt so confident in my abilities by the time I graduated.

There aren't words to say how great this school is. The teachers are excellent and fun. The teachers are very knowledgeable and each teacher has a specialty. The school is inclusive. I am an RN so cleanliness during treatments is important to me. They taught us how to be very clean and sanitary aestheticians. They will prepare you for the state board exams and make sure you are ready to take the test. They are so kind and loving and accepting you will feel like you have a school family. I love love loved going to this school.

Attending the School of Botanical and Medical Aesthetics has truly been an incredible experience that I am so grateful for!

One of the things I appreciated most was how flexible the school schedule is. You have the freedom to sign up for clinic days that fit your lifestyle, and the at-home practicum allows you to gain hours through assignments you can complete from home. This kind of flexibility made balancing school with life so much easier.

I loved the diversity I experienced at SBMA. The admin office was always incredible helpful and friendly anytime I had a question for the. My days at clinic always felt so comfortable and welcoming. All the instructors at are cross-trained in everything, while also bringing their own unique expertise and specializations from their time in the industry. It creates such a well-rounded learning environment.

Having previously attended a fashion hair/barber school, I had a good experience there, but SBMA took things to another level that I didn't realize could be possible from a trade school. The flexibility, the support, and the encouragement here made such a difference. The school provides enough structure and safety to allow you to make the mistakes that are part of the learning process, which ultimately builds confidence and strength in your skills.

Some of my favorite aspects of SBMA were how respected and cared for I always felt. The environment is incredibly welcoming, and I made some amazing friendships along the way. I genuinely looked forward to attending clinic because it was such a positive space. The curriculum also ensures you’re thoroughly prepared for your state board exams. Beyond the essentials, there's plenty of opportunity to explore many different areas of aesthetics that spark your interest, especially during the many demo days held throughout each month.

Overall, SBMA really goes above and beyond to help you create the learning experience you want. I couldn't ask for a better learning environment. They do everything they can to prepare you for your license and set you up for success as you begin your career in the industry. I’m so grateful for my time here and would highly recommend it to anyone considering aesthetician school!

This is the most incredible school with the best teachers I have ever had.

The information in clinic is so useful and the teachers are all so talented and present in class, it made learning so much easier. I was so nervous my first day and it felt like home by the end of my first facial service.

The program is very convenient for somebody who works full time and gave me plenty of time to graduate at my own pace AND the products are great.

If I could give more stars I would. I can’t recommend this school enough.

I have always been interested in Aesthetics school and decided to look into programs last year. This was initially something I was interested in doing as a hobby to meet new people and have a change of scenery from working remotely. In looking at multiple schools offered in the Denver area, this school had the BEST reviews for the culture, curriculum and flexibility with scheduling clinic hours along with the positive reviews on the instructors and teaching styles. I was able to complete the program while working full time and enjoyed every minute of the classes and clinic time! All the reviews I read while making my decision on schools really turned into my own experience and I cannot say enough about the overall experience I had. I miss going to clinic and getting to meet all the other students and having such a great experience. All the instructors were kind, compassionate and approachable and made the experience positive and encouraging. Thank you SBMA for making the entire program so special!

Let me start by saying, If I had to do my school journey all over again I would ! I love that it's at your own pace, It took me about a year to finish the program. The student on student practice was great and was a plus for me on comparing where I wanted to go because I'd say you get better,honest feedback from each other. Pairing up with different students also taught me different techniques as well. Demo days are also good days. Every teacher is amazing as well, I just can't believe how fun, resourceful, & educating it was to go here especially learning the different product lines and purposes. Lastly, I appreciate the relationships i've created with the educators and students here and it's something I'll forever hold close to me.
