"Atarashii Apprentice Program presented me a learning path that I didn't think was an option. I worked in salon, with an experienced Nail Tech who taught me fundamentals, and guided me through scenarios that came up while working on clients. Once I passed my exams and was looking for work, I definitely feel having that salon experience buffed up my resume, and I got hired on the spot!! I love what I do. I love doing nails. This is my passion. My experience through Atarashii allowed me to discover that love/obsession. If you ever get the chance to work with Jessee directly, take it all in!! All the nuggets of wisdom just seem to flow right out and it really is inspiring. I'm so glad to have had my experiences, and looking forward to what's in store.

"First I would like to start by saying Jessee Skittrall and his team are outstanding professional in our industry. They have the ability to provide all of the apprentices, with the knowledge and the placement in a Salon that will best suit the needs for their learning ability. This is the first time I have had the pleasure of being in an apprenticeship program under this program of Atarashii. They make it easy to be on board with this. This program allows future professionals to get hands on training every day. We have all the hands on training things outlined and at our fingertips to use. The Atarashii team checks in on a regular basis to keep things up to the program standards. Just to be clear their standards are top notch! I have helped many future professionals finish hours with externships and or internships. Working with the different schools has been good but very different than having someone so passionate about his apprentices being successful. The Atarashii Team holds all of their apprentices to very high standards. I feel this apprenticeship program is the best that has been done! Hands down. It is so nice to be able to contact and speak with a real person if the need arises."
