I had a wonderful experience visiting Tricoci. The students provided a lovely service, and I enjoyed speaking with their Student Success Advisor, Angelo who continuously encouraged the students as he was walking throughout the Salon to check their progress with other clients as well as my self . He was very nice, outgoing and helpful when it came to questions I had about the programs that are provided there at the beauty school. I will definitely be returning.
