STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

What our students say

Two months ago I thought I was starting a course where cutting wouldn’t be that complicated. Along the way, I realized that learning to cut technically is something completely different, and much more complex. Thank you for the trust, patience, dedication, and for helping me succeed. P.S. It’s getting dark and you didn’t do anything! 😂

The experience I had alongside you was wonderful. I’m glad we met and that you became more than just colleagues. I’m convinced that the skills I gained during the course will open many doors in my future barbering career. Thank you! 💈💯

First of all, I want to highlight how grateful I am for the inspired and discreet advice, and for the patience you showed. Thank you for your time, Professor Florin Minda. 💈

Thank you for all the encouragement. When I started this course, I didn’t believe I could succeed. I started from zero, and I want to thank Florin Minda for everything you taught me and for the patience you had with each of us. We worked hard to become better. Thank you once again! You are the best! 👌🙏

Thank you for the congratulations! I want to share a few words about how I felt during the course. Honestly, it wasn’t easy for me to start from scratch, but Florin was patient and always tried to open my eyes whenever something wasn’t clear. Thank you, Florin! I’m grateful for the chance to learn from you.

When you are guided by professionals, the difference is immediately visible. I recommend Shapes Academy. Thank you, Florin Minda!
