Review on Missabacademy
Based in Orlando, Florida, MissABAcademy.com (AB Academy) is a private beauty school that provides classes in makeup, face care, micropigmentation, depilation, and eyelash extensions (pestañas). It offers both theoretical and practical instruction, according to its website. The State of Florida grants a Certificate of Completion and a license to students who successfully complete the necessary number of hours of instruction, practical work, and final tests. The school has a public profile on Facebook and Instagram to demonstrate its presence, as well as a phone number (407) 433-1660 and an address of 13550 Village Park Dr Suite 130, Orlando, FL 32837. Alexmir Arriojas, Andrea Bermudez, and Angelica Bermudez are the instructors (maestras), and they all have the aforementioned experience (Alexmir, for example, has about seven years of micropigmentation experience). "AB Academy LLC Private School" is the name of the institution. With sections like "Nuestros Cursos," "Profesores," and "Nosotros," the website is bilingual (or at least Spanish and English).
With identified teachers, a physical address, contact details, a well defined curriculum (eyelash extension, micropigmentation, etc.), and a certification/licensing claim, AB Academy seems to operate similarly to many other respectable beauty training and aesthetic schools.
Notable Keypoints to note on missabacademy
Contact info is provided: phone number, email, social media presence. AB ACADEMY +2 Some of the content is in Spanish, which is fine, but if target audience includes English speakers, clarity of translation, legal disclaimers, refund policies etc. might be less visible.
Clear courses offered: eyelash extension, micropigmentation, facial, etc. Curriculum includes practical and theory, final exam. “License from the State of Florida” could be misinterpreted: some schools have certificate of completion; some are regulated as private career schools; sometimes “licensing” might refer only to certain aspects. It's important to verify with state regulatory agencies.
Named instructors with experience and visible “about us / nosotras / profesoras” section. While experience is declared, the depth (number of students, hours of instruction, feedback from prior students) is not obvious limited testimonial / outcome data.
Website appears active; social media presence (Instagram, Facebook) adds legitimacy. There is not much publicly available independent reviews or complaints (in what I found). That makes it harder to assess student satisfaction or outcomes. Also, cost of courses, refund policy, schedule may not be fully transparent.
The presence of named instructors with experience, a physical location, contact details, social media, suggests that this is not a quickly thrown-together scam. People can visit (or at least find) the address, call the phone, see images, etc.
The description of the curriculum is realistic for beauty / eyelash training: including practical hours, exams, etc., which is normal in beauty schools. This suggests the academy has thought through what training includes.
The claim of licensing / certificate of completion suggests an awareness of regulation or student trust. Even if licensing is minimal, that they mention “Commission for Independent Education ID #10296” indicates they are registered with Florida’s Commission for Independent Education.
- The address listed (13550 Village Park Dr Suite 130, Orlando, FL) and phone number match across multiple sources (site itself, Facebook page) which is consistent.
Active presence on social media (students, posts) shows there is an operating entity, not entirely hidden or deceptive.
However, why caution remains:
Because licensing in beauty / aesthetic fields can vary widely: some schools are heavily regulated, others less so. A certificate from a “private school” may or may not give you the ability to legally work in certain jurisdictions, or insurance eligibility, or recognition by employers.
Lack of widely published reviews or independent student experiences in public forums means it's harder to assess quality or whether students found the training valuable or whether promises were fulfilled.
Transparency around price, materials, refund policies must be confirmed before enrolling.
Language or communication could limit understanding for non-Spanish speakers if parts are only in Spanish.
Overall, I believe that AB Academy is a real beauty / lash training school, operating under private-school registration in Florida, offering genuine training. I do not see strong evidence it is a scam.
