I went to the express beauty 101 course over the summer it was 2 weeks I fell in love. The summer course was AMAZING and I had 2 amazing teachers Miss Gabby and Miss Roxy. After those 2 weeks I knew I had to continue. While going to college I was scared I would be to overwhelmed but still went for it and joined the weekend class to complete the freelance program. I looked forward to each and every weekend and I am sad to say I graduated 2 days ago. My teachers Miss Elisa and Miss Erin were so great and helped me every step of the way. AMA gave me the confidence I needed to feel comfortable in the real world. They provide you so many opportunities and each and every teacher has so much experience and advice and help to offer. I can never thank AMA, Xio, and Jules, and all my teachers enough. They paved the way for my dreams to come true and I am super excited to see what my future and my fellow classmates hold. AMA gave me a family and I will DEFF be back! if you're thinking about it you definitely should go. #AMAFAMILY read less

If anyone is leaning towards another school or is stuck between AMA and another, i am telling you pick AMA! They aren’t just kidding when they say AMA FAMILY! Everyone at the academy makes you feel so welcomed and loved. The academy is against all negativity and bulling and all about success and passion ! Everyone is given the same opportunity and the teachers make sure to watch every single student and the way the progress throughout whichever program you are attending. Every single teacher at AMA wants to see you succeed. I saw that at other schools people come off as being fake nice and catty and don’t really care about benefiting you. But i can honestly say that the instructors at AMA are genuine and truly care. Not only are the teachers/ office girls amazing but Xio and Juliette! Two beautiful hard working women that are truly insirpirational. They both run AMA Hoboken and newest location in MIAMI!! I know how amazing is that! I graduated yesterday and i woke up this morning wanting to get dressed and go back lol. AMA is truly an amazing lifetime experience that i feel everyone should take advantage of !! read less

I've always loved makeup and I've been doing makeup for many years,but i wanted to expand myself and get certified. I Google searched "makeup schools" "ny makeup schools" "nj makeup schools" and of course there was a whole list of schools in the Tri-state area. I've researched all of them and I wanted to make sure that the makeup school I decided,will be the one for me. I visited ALL the other schools but, I didn't get the "This is the school" feeling. So I decided to check out AMA in hoboken because it was close to my house. I called and met the sweetest person, Beverly. The studio had 2 rooms (spacious to work) and was in all beautiful white. I told her that I work full time and wasn't sure about my schedule. She gave me the times and said that they can always work with me. I was sooo happy, that I gave 1/2 of my tuition that day... My 1st day of AMA (the day I met Juliette- the owner of AMA ). The day i met Jules I feel in love, you would too! The energy, the experience, the drive, especially the beauty that she brings, just energizes you! Courses-I love the makeup kit! Its like Christmas all over again. Getting brushes,foundations,eyeshadows, and more ALL in a cute black bag!I thought I knew makeup but they taught be A LOT! They were very patient and gave me great feedback. I went from taking an express course to the next and the next course. Room for Growth and Opportunity- After graduating, It didn't just end there. I was given an opportunity to be in a AMA promo where i met the beautiful and sweet Xiomara (the manager). The dedication and support that she has for AMA is just amazing. I was given an opportunity to help out in my very 1st AMA wedding. That day I met the ProTeam Girls and feel in love with them too! They are sooo talented and so humble. That day, all I knew was to work hard and work fast...it definitely paid off because thats when I became an #AMAProGirl 🙂 Since then I've done clients, weddings, NYFW, photoshoots,IMATS New York,and many more. To me, attending AMA isn't just about makeup... AMA is about growing, AMA is about building yourself, AMA is about creating lifelong friendships, AMA is about confidence, AMA is about working hard, AMA is not just about creating BEAUTY but to also STAY HUMBLE! It was the best life changing decision I've ever made and I'm so happy to be part of the #AMAFamily ❤️ Forever grateful, lina @artistry.by.lina read less

They eased the students into class with drills each day based on the instruction from the previous class. The demos were taught with great enthusiasm and expertise! I can't say enough good things about this school and how well they treated their students.. On the first day they said that we wouldn't want to leave and they were right! I want to take every class they offer just to be in that positive atmosphere everyday! Elle and Xio you girls have given me life.. Thanks for being so wonderful and making us your AMA family!!

My instructor, Juliette, not only taught me anything and everything I could know about doing makeup and transforming a face, but she also taught me the business and financial side of things which you won't find anywhere else! Overall my experience here was AMAZING. I would go back and pay for it all over again if I could. All the educators and people involved at AMA are extremely professional and made my experience one I will never forget.

AMA has taught me to never give up on ur dreams and never settle for less than you deserve .. not only does this school teach u the makeup aspect (obviously) but they teach you the buisness aspect which is just as important in this industry which some other schools may not offer .. you get several opportunities to show your skills and professionalism from photoshoots to fashion shows .. if i could redo my time at AMA i would in a heart beat .. if your considering a makeup school to attend to fulfill your dream of becoming a successful makeup artist i would definitely recommend Artist Makeup Academy!! :))))) read less

My teacher was amazing and had the knowledge and skill level I so long craved for. She taught me everything I wanted and needed to know. I graduated from the Freelance program and became certified, which was a dream I never even thought possible, as I am a doctor (MD).

AMA is the TRUE definition of a GLAM SQUAD. These girls showed up looking like straight bosses and you can tell they really love what they do, and that shows through their work. Not only do they come with a team of artists, they come with two extra girls who took pictures and were there to do anything we asked (Xio, you are amazing at what you do ;)) Not to toot my own horn or anything but my hair and makeup were literally fabulous and my bridesmaids were the sexiest bridesmaids you've ever seen!

From the staff, to the curriculum, the location and everything in between I believe it's worth every single penny (this coming from someone who paid with their own money and even had to put some on a credit card because I extended programs!) . They take the time out of their personal lives to stay late with anybody who wants to without blinking an eye, whether it's for artistry, help with your makeup resume, or literally just to hang out (which everyone does) and this is why we are not just a class that graduated from a makeup school, we are an AMA Family. AMA has offered every single student in my class numerous opportunities to get the chance to work charity events, such as glamming up the staff of VUE Magazine or a Day of Beauty for elderly people. Whether the students take those experiences or not is completely up to them and many of us have gone on and continue to go on multiple events. My first event I was too nervous to raise my hand when they asked who was interested in going and after class the teachers pulled me aside and gave me the confidence I needed to and I am forever grateful for them. That's when I knew this is the best school I could've chosen and it's only been up from there! Basically I could go on and on about AMA but just save yourself some time and enroll already!! ;-P read less

Not only did I learn more in depth makeup skills, but I learned about the business, something that you don't learn anywhere else. I also learned the keys to becoming successful. AMA is like no other. Not only do you learn so much, but you have so much fun doing it. Your class literally becomes your family. You look forward to going to class everyday, and hate when its over. This school has so many qualities that you wont find anywhere else. Everyone apart of the AMA team is very professional and amazingly talented. I highly highly recommend attending Artist Makeup Academy read less

Before attending AMA I knew I wanted to be a makeup artist but I didn't know what steps to take to fulfill my dreams. Now that I am finished with my schooling I can confidently say that my dreams have become a reality. This school is incredible not only did I learn makeup skill but I learned everything from the business side as well. I have learned so much from attending AMA they have given me the skill, knowledge and confidence to be where I am today. AMA is more then just a school it really is a family. I never expected to have the newfound friendships and family that I have made at AMA. By far best decision I have made in my life. Anyone who is thinking about attending this school really needs to check it out. My first time I visited AMA I opended the AMA doors and automatically fell in love and I know everyone else who opens those doors will fall in love immediately!! read less

The instructors are all extremely professional. The location and space itself shows how much they care about their students. Each student leaves feeling like family. Not only do they teach makeup application to ensure the students will become successful makeup artists, but they also show them to be successful. They help with portfolio development and that is something NO other school does on the level that AMA does. The Bridal section of AMA is like no other! an entire team comes and turns the bride's special day into an amazing and pampered event. The bridal makeup they do, is amazing in pictures & video. It is so beautiful to have those lasting memories for the brides. I refuse to go anyway else, or even refer anyone else for makeup. read less

I didnt want to leave because i wanted to learn more from these talented women of AMA. i met juliet probably 6yrs ago at another school she was working at. I loved her personality and she made me feel so confident and comfortable. Then 3 yrs ago thru a mutual friend. i heard she was opening a school. I visited other school, closer schools to wear i leave, but i didnt feel the same, something was telling me go to AMA. Then i visited AMA n i knew it was the school for me. I fell in love with it! It just felt right!! I felt at home. I believe God wanted me there it was the place for me and i knew i made the right decision cus i felt at peace. My teacher Elle is amazing and so so talented and so loving. Xio just inspires women to follow there dreams no matter wat anyone says. Juliet if it wasn't for you i wouldn't have pushed so hard. I cant even mention all the talented women i met there who took there time to come and teach us. I thank God for most and thank you AMA staff for your love n kindness and for giving us a piece of your own talent that makes you special. 💗💙💋 mucho amor read less

My passion for beauty, especially in the artistry field, has been consistent since I was a kid. And attending AMA was the cherry on top. It never crossed my mind that I could make a career out of my passion, I always felt discouraged when it came to pursing my dreams in this field. After being unemployed from the corporate world, I took some time to figure myself out and took a chance! I didn't have to do much research. I knew what I wanted. I wanted a make up school where I would learn from the best and had a real NYC/LA studio feel. I literally looked up make up schools and I don't know what made me type "Hoboken" in the search engine because I was not informed about any locations near me, nor had any idea where to begin my search. As soon as my search directed me to AMA, I was determined this academy was legit and my search was completed. From the minute I called that number, I spoke with Juliette who was so informative and just brought an energy that made me so excited to begin this journey. Going to class everyday had never been so much fun! I learned so much, Juliette is so patient and detail oriented...which really brought out the best of my abilities. And such a humble person to work with, very positive energy and just so easy going. She has a lovely team beside her. Not only do you learn make up application and pulling the whole look together, you learn about the industry and Juliette never closes her doors! She continues to welcome her students/graduates to events, etc. Truly beyond a wonderful experience in the eyes of a make up lover!!! I would do it all over again. read less

Being as this career has been my absolute dream since I was young, I was very picky with picking the school that was right for me.However, as soon as I stepped foot in AMA, I knew was done with my search. The instructors are the most amazing, helpful, and kind hearted women I have ever met in my life. Not to mention fabulous while they're at it. They are so hands on and teach you all that you need to know about makeup. From simple looks to the most dramatic, they know it all. Not only that but they give you vital information about the business side of makeup which a majority of schools do not offer. The owners, Juliette and Xio are the most inspiring women I have ever met. They taught me so much and are extremely helpful with anything I ever need. The advice they have given me has truly shaped me into the artist I am today. They are also seriously the most BOSS business women you'll ever get the pleasure of meeting. AMA's values are based off of family and hard work. You truly feel apart of a family being at AMA and boy do they put you to work to make you the best artist you can possibly be when you walk out of those doors. They have helped me tremendously to become a more skilled and business minded artist and they have helped me to be more confident with myself as well. For that, I will forever be thankful. I could not say any more good things about this school and if you are looking for the place to go... This is it. Going to AMA was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my entire life... this school has changed my life in the best way possible. Thank you ladies for all that you have done for me and continue to do. I'm so lucky to be apart of something so amazing. I love you! Olivia Aviles #TeamAMA #AMAfamily
