A wonderful day with Maria.
An incredible teacher that is eager to share her knowledge.
She is so humble, giving credit to her mentors.
She wanted to share all her knowledge.
I only wish I would have had several days to soak up everything.
Maria, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness, generosity and humble spirit.
I hope to train with you again.

I met Maria, and she is absolutely amazing -full of knowledge about updos and incredibly charming.
She made me feel completely at ease, answering all my questions with enthusiasm.
She demonstrated three stunning updos, showcasing her expertise.
I replicated her updos as accurately as I could, and I think I did a pretty good job.
I am excited to take more classes with her in the future because I feel more confident than ever about exploring new styles for special occasions.
I whole heartedly recommend Maria-she's fantastic.
