• I've been a student since August and I absolutely "LOOOOOOVE IT!!!" Let me tell you something, I did my homework for a while and I'm so lucky to have found this outstanding makeup academy. I've learned so much from this amazing course that I can't believe that I actually thought that I did good makeup before! Yes it looked nice, but nothing compared to how I apply makeup today.

  You'll learn everything that you need to know, so if you or anyone you know that's interested in becoming a Makeup Artist, TRUST ME that Ruby's is what you need. First thing that you need to do is ------> "LIKE" their FB page and then give them a call, I guarantee that you'll be happy.

  Not only will you be happy with the program, but the staff is "AMAZING!!!!" Ruby Polanco, the founder of the school is so talented that I can actually say that it's an honor to learn from the best, and to mention just a few of the many people that are amazing as well, Brenda Orduno, Joel Morales Mua, Adriana Rossil, Sean Harris Makeup are a few of the many wonderful & talented Makeup Artists/Instructors at Ruby's.

  Trish Grimes, America Martinez Perez, Hannan, Veronica, Daisy, and many many more of the wonderful staff members. There are several locations....Hollywood, Temple City, Ontario, and Upland ( that's where I go), and still growing!!! :)))

• Good Morning, I am writing this letter to let you and the staff (including Ruby) know how appreciative I am of attending this school. Yesterday I went for an interview with a woman who is starting her own business to be a mobile makeup/hair artist crew for special events.
  While speaking with her about the school I attended and the amazing opportunities they provide her eyes lit up! She was in complete awe when I explained the internships, free retake of classes for life, ability to use the school for makeup anytime, 11 week class schedule, financing options and fact that we did not have to use our own kit for class. She attended a school which took 8 months to complete, was not offered any internships and had to bring her kit everyday and use all her own makeup.

  She immediately asked about cost because she is thinking of attending to not only further her knowledge but also to be a part of this amazing organization. It made me so greatful that I chose this school and was able to meet so many talented and amazing people. Not to mention my unforgettable teachers, Brenda Orduno and Adriana Rossil, who took me from a girl with a passion for makeup to a "makeup artist".
  It is a dream come true for me and I wanted to express to all of you (especially at the Upland location) my gratitude. Please feel free to show this letter to the staff to let them know what an amazing job they do everyday and how they set the bar high for competitive schools alike.
  Best Regards,

• Hi Trish, I wanted to thank you for sending us Yvette & Lori for the "Transformations" reality docu-soap pilot shoot. Both were great and able to move on their feet in any setting!
  Day 1- Yvette oversaw makeup for the main character, his patient, friend interview as well as doctors (male & female) at a hospital setting.
  Day 2- Lori oversaw makeup for the main character and his patients at a location in Malibu
  Day 3- Lori oversaw makeup for the main character and his main patient at an ultra light outdoor location as well formal sit down interviews and the show open shot in a famous celebrity office.
  I would definitely recommend both and hope to work with them in the future.

  All the Best, Jennifer Hutchins, Producer

• Having been in the beauty, makeup and spa business for over 30 years, attending Ruby Makeup Academy has been a refreshing and exciting experience. The instructors are wonderful, experienced and personable. Ruby Academy offers a payment plan and an internship, both huge reasons why Ruby is the best choice! Makeup Artistry is for women of all ages who have the desire to make this their career or just to learn how to apply cosmetics correctly. I highly recommend Ruby Makeup Academy to anyone considering learning Makeup Artistry. This course has been excellent!

• I attend Ruby Make up Academy in Ontario, Ca. I absolutely love this school. I have learned so much. After the first day I was invited to The Mike Scott Mansion in Beverly Hills and had the best time. Then I was able to go to LA Fashion week to put make up on the runway models. You meet fabulous people and have so much fun making them beautiful. The Ruby girls are awesome too. Thank you Ruby, Trish, Dena and Yanira. I tell everyone up here in Hesperia. If I have to work for 15 more years it's going to be fun. I want to do all Ruby's classes they have so much to offer and are the only ones to have 40 hours of internship. Thank you all.

• I can tell you by saying I don't like this school, I LOVE it! What I loved about this school was the help and the interest the teachers have in us. They make us feel part of their family. The teachers don’t give up on you. They keep helping you so you can be successful. The internships are so amazing. You get to know and work with so many people. I will recommend anyone who loves to network and do makeup!

• Dear Ruby Makeup Academy, congratulations on an excellent program! As a parent who is extremely cautious, please know that I investigated a great number of makeup schools before my daughter chose to enroll at Ruby Makeup Academy. Trish, I cannot say enough about how grateful I am for your willingness to meet with me and answer my many questions. Ruby Makeup Academy is simply awesome and the only one that I felt was right for my daughter. I found your curriculum to be very professional and current. No other school I contacted had an internship program, and I found that to be extremely beneficial. It is one thing to teach them the profession, and another to have them actually work at it. I felt the program was right for my daughter; however, I was unprepared for how great it really is! Ruby is an outstanding instructor. She is so knowledgeable. My daughter loves her! It is a joy to see my daughter so thrilled and passionate about her new profession! I am glad I invested in Vanessa's education at Ruby Makeup Academy, the experience and knowledge she is getting is priceless. Thank you.

• I never dreamed my life could change so fast! Within days I was actually interning at Fashion Week! This is one of the most exciting things I have ever attempted and I am determined to be successful at it. I believe Ruby Makeup Academy is giving me the tools I need to become a successful makeup artist. What I have learned in the classroom has far surpassed my expectations. The instructors are wonderful (so far I have had Ruby and Liz Mendoza). The instructors are actual working Makeup Artists that bring their own style, knowledge and expertise to the classroom. They actually take the time to make sure us students understand what we are doing and that we are doing it correctly. I am looking forward to doing great things with my career. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
