What Our Gainesville Students Say

5 star review

Today I took a tour of Summit Salon booked with the administrator Nina-Sasha! Talk about a woman who knows her stuff and can definitely give you the encouragement you will need or advice! She was such an inspiration and so insightful, and very thoughtful and took her time explaining all of my interest without even me having to ask her the questions. I recommend reaching out to her for all your questions! Such a helpful women and great personality to go along with it! The tour went smooth and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you Nina
