ñMKC needs to be global. I take pride graduating from MKC. No other school has what MKC has, the best instructors and friendliest staff.î

Melissa Murdick, Greensboro, NC
ñI really enjoyed my experience & felt like I learned a lot. The environment is excellent because of the small class size and non-competitiveness & I enjoyed the majority of staff.î

Kara Boer, Jerome, ID

"I researched several schools and I am so happy I chose MKC. The entire experience, from the first day to the last was unbelievably great! I learned more than I ever thought was possible in just 10 weeks! Anyone questioning weather to come here or notƒCome! You wonÍt regret it!"

Brittany King, Inman, SC
"Words canÍt even express how thankful I am. I met so many amazing people and learned so much. I will never forget my time here and will always cherish it. The best thing I ever did has opened so many doors."

Vanessa Alvarez, Webster, NY
"This experience started out very scary. Moving to a big city, not knowing anyone was really hard, but itÍs the best experience IÍve had. It totally changed me as a person. I met so many amazing people and girls I will be a friend with for the rest of my life. MKC has a great program going. The best out there. The thing that makes this school stand out from the rest is that you guys actually care. You care about each and every student and that comes through here, and making their experience the best it can be. I fell like this class was all meant to be here together and we all realized that in success coaching. It really brought us together and made our time here that much better. IÍm really glad I came and wish it wasnÍt over."

Shelly Moor, Kingman, AZ
"First of all, I would like to thank the teachers and staff as a whole for putting together such a great school. Mike and Margaret for starting it. This was the best thing thatÍs ever happened to me. I have no regrets for coming to this school. I learned so much and it helped me become a better person. Thank you all so much for such a wonderful experience. I couldnÍt have asked for better teachers and friends. I have grown to have love for each and every one of you. Thanks again! I love you all!"

Kate McCarthy, Los Angeles, CA
"I am so glad I came here. I could not have asked for a better group of instructors & students to surround myself with. My growth as a person & professional has skyrocketed all thanks to MKC!"

Sheryl Lawrence, Hialeah, FL
"MKC Beauty Academy has changed me into a new person. MKC is not just a makeup school; it taught me so much more than applying makeup within these last 10 weeks. IÍve grown into a better person and learned how to deal with situations differently. MKC pushed me further than I thought I could allow. I now look at life in a whole new perspective and now I want others to experience what IÍve experienced. Thank you so much for believing in me and pushing me to never give up no matter what situation IÍm in."

Megan Halvorsen, Houston, TX
"MKC has been an amazing school. I will never forget the team of employees that worked here. They are my family away from home. The many hours they put in to help bring out the best makeup artist in us. I have never felt so loved and comfortable. Many teachers helped me and pushed me to be better. Thank you all so much. I will never forget this experience. Love you all."

Alister Ramsey, Boulder, CO

MKC PROJECT MILAN Every year, one new graduate and one past graduate from previous years will be selected to travel to Milan, Italy to the place where Margaret Kimura started her career, and participate in real photo shoots with Italian Photographers. An experience of a Lifetime! (Perhaps you will get your first Vogue shoot as Margaret did at the age of 17). 2010 MKC Milan Graduate WINNER: Ximena Rolfe! 2010 MKC Milan Alumni WINNER: Jessica Ahn! 2011 MKC Milan Alumni WINNER: Daria Slusarczyk! 2011 MKC Milan Alumni WINNER: Kat Chan!   Letter from Margaret - Milan 2010 "A Wonderful Reality" "2010 was quite year for “MKC project Milan” and for MKC Beauty Academy as well. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for the amazing support, friendship and dedication you have given to me and MKC Beauty Academy, that made this first annual trip to Milan a wonderful reality. The main focus of this trip was to take our two Alumni students that worked so very hard to win the “Project Milan” trip, and educate them on the fashion industry as it relates specifically to Milan, Italy. It was very important for me to make sure our winners were able to experience Milan, Italy in a similar fashion to the way I did when I started at the ripe old age of 16. Grant it, nearly 30 years has passed since I started in this business and certainly times have changed along with technology and society as a whole. However much of the industry leaders are still the same, and the masters are still all connected in some form or another. The great traditions have also remained the same with uncompromising integrity..."continue
