"Creative Images to me, is everything I looked for in a beauty school. When I went searching for the best school to fit me I knew this was it. I was looking for positive energy, helping hands, a place where I would learn from the best and master my professional skills. When I walked into this building, I knew it was the school with all of those qualities. Since I've been here, I've learned alot about this industry, and have plenty more to be educated on. All of the students are extremely kind and helpful, and the instructors are by our side at all times. I never feel alone. When I walk into my school I feel a comfort zone, and it's important to me because it's like a second home. The program we have here is great. You have the chance to do anything from hair sculpts to microdermabrasion. The doors are opened to whatever it is your interested in learning and the instructors are there every step of the way. I'm happy with my decision and look forward to using the skills I was taught in a salon and continue to further my education."

"Creative Images Institute of Cosmetology is a wonderful school. There are many great experiences within Creative Images. The classes we have are a wonderful way to grasp and learn the subject matter associated with Cosmetology. Also, the teachers and client/student experiences are amazing. I believe the best experiences at Creative Images are the learning experiences with the teacher and the hands on experiences with the clients. The teachers here are always around to help and guide you in the right direction. I see the teachers as my second moms! Anything we need help with they are there to help lead us the right way. As for the hands on with the clients you cannot beat this. I believe this is the best way to learn. I would reccomend anyone I know to Creative Images because it is a wonderful school."
-Abby Knoth

"I picked Creative Images for my education after reviewing several schools in Ohio. It seemed that Creative Images had higher state wide ratings than other schools. If you are looking for an education you should obtain the best possible. After starting here I have been happy with the atmosphere. THe instructors are informative along with being kind and curtious. There seems to be no tension amongst anybody that attends which is a plus for clients and students!"
-Melissa Brewer

"Creative Images is a great place to go. They offer you not only the information you need for state board but also things teach you above and beyond things you need to know. They also offer many different events to attend to help you with career placement. We also take field trips to upscale salons to see that they are like."
-Izzy Griffith

"Ever since I was 8 years old, I loved doing hair. From braiding, to sculpting, styling, and coloring, everything that I could possibly do. I enrolled in cosmetology school because I know this is my calling and I know I can be the best that I can be. My goal is to receive my manager’s license and someday own my own salon. I’ve had so many wonderful experiences since I have been here at Creative Images. One in particular was the Wine & Cheese event. I got to meet salon owners from all around. I was able to show them my personality, a feel for what type of person I am. It was great and I think it’s something everyone should experience at least once.
-Candis Hamilton."

"After considering most of the schools, I felt as though Creative Images was the most real and fashion forward cosmetology school that I experienced. Other schools were simply based off just the brand names. I wanted a school that was more concerned about getting you ready for skills and trade secrets, rather than getting you a position at a salon simply based on where you graduated from. I also appreciated how creative images keeps you in theory classes until they are sure you are ready for the floor instead of just throwing you out there and being unsure of yourself. Creative Images helps you build confidence from the beginning. Some of the best experiences I have had have been the times we get to practice something we just learned on one of our classmates. And if you actually do a great job the look on their face gives you such a rewarding feeling I’ve been lucky so far not to get an unhappy response. I think that is directly related to the great experiences that our instructor has given us. Miss Lou keeps us focused and driven to be the best artists possible."

"For as long as I can remember I have been intrigued by fashion, make up and hair. When I was finished with high school I wasn’t sure if cosmetology was really the field I wanted to be in for life. I joined the military to give myself time to be sure. I spent five years having the best experiences of my earliest adult years. When I was finished with my contract I moved back to Ohio, my hometown of Dayton. I began the process of determining my options for continuing my education. I was torn between cosmetology and culinary arts. Then one day I was approached by a gentleman at a bistro who asked if I was in the beauty industry, He began to explain that he was the vice president of creative images institute of cosmetology. He sparked my interest in the school and after asking around I decided I wanted the education Creative Images had to offer. I was certain the educators and other staff would be as dedicated in giving me a top notch education as I would be in receiving it. The best experience I have had here is getting to know my educators. I’ve never felt more comfortable in a learning environment. They are there for you in every aspect. Most of all, when I look at myself in my station mirror, I realize I am where I belong."

"The Aesthetics program at Creative Images is excellent! We have a great teacher who is always willing to help us as much as we need it, to teach us further than what we have to know and has personal experience in a salon and is willing to give us tips to help us out when we get into the work environment. Our curriculum is very detailed and much more than what is required for state board. I feel like when I graduate from Creative Images I will be ready to take on a career and be well prepared for it.
-Angie Coffman

I believe that in some strange sort of way I have become a better person since being here at Creative Images. I feel better about myself somehow. I enjoy getting up everyday and coming to school. I know, strange right? But it is the truth; I know that each day presents a new challenge. I am ready to take on whatever the day throws my way. My teachers are more than just teachers, they are more like family. These teachers are proud of their students and they care about their jobs. They will work with you as long as you are willing to work with them. This is one of the best decisions that I have made, and I strongly believe that if other people make the decision to come here, they will feel the same way. My advice to any newcomer? Don’t give up on yourself, everyday is a new challenge, believe in yourself and you will get through it.
-Joann Berwanger

I chose Creative Images because almost every professional cosmetologist I have ever met has recommended this school. They all say that it is one of the top schools for education and that the teaching staff was/is amazing. Coming here I have learned that all those things were true. Because of Creative Images I feel prepared and confident to enter this industry, it has and the teachers have broadened all my thoughts and ideas when it comes to hair, skin or nails. Use your time wisely. Learn all you can and soak it all up and you will do great like I know I will. Thank you Creative Images for all the knowledge and friendships I have made.

-Randi Gibbs

I chose Creative Images because my oldest sister attended this school. I was suppose to go to Make-Up Artist school at MKC beauty academy in California, but couldn’t go due to some health problems. I really wanted a school that could measure up to MKC and with Creative Images I found that. I would tell people to come to Creative Images so they can learn the basics and then some. Anybody that would come here would learn the bestfrom the best. And will graduate with the skills to be able to work in a professional work environment."
