On 5/15/2025 Terri Ann had this to say:
Everyone was nice and personable. The students do a good job and the prices are fair.

On 1/25/2025 Brenda Boe had this to say:
Our daughter was invited to be on Homecoming Court and we wanted to make it special for her. They did her nails, hair, and makeup for less than what you would pay for just one of those services by itself. They had her looking glamorous in less than 4 hours. They were friendly, cheered her on, and didn't mind answering any questions we had. We will definitely go back. Thank you ladies at Great Ambitions for making my daughter feel like the beauty she is.
