If you're expecting a chill, go-through-the-motions type of class, this ain’t it. Ms.Timbers brings intensity, energy, and real-life standards that will either scare you off or shape you maybe both. She’s not the “smile and nod” kind of instructor. She's the “fix your sectioning, clean your station, and do it better” kind. And weirdly enough? You'll thank her for it.
What I respect most is she doesn’t treat this like a job. She treats it like a mission. She’s in that classroom for a reason to prepare you for a world that doesn’t care how good you think you are. She wants you to walk out of school knowing how to actually work in this industry, not just pass tests.
She holds you to a high standard, but never lets you forget why you started. She’s the kind of educator who won’t let you hide in the back or settle for “good enough.” She sees what you're capable of and doesn’t let you play small even on the days you want to.
She’s got high expectations, a sharp eye, and a no-BS attitude but she balances it with a sense of humor and real-world advice that sticks. You’ll leave her class with better technique, more confidence, and a clearer understanding of what it takes to actually make it.
Ms.Timbers is a phenomenal educator she provides high energy environment with a comfortable atmosphere which is
essential in learning she is very meticulous when expressing the material we need to learn in cosmetology. I learned so much and improved tremendously on my talents in school.She is the best educator.
