Maxima Makeup Artistry, Scottsdale | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I never give reviews but I felt compelled to do so because of how amazing this school is. These two random negative reviews are absolute lies. Unfortunately, there are always bad apples trying to ruin someone’s good reputation. If you want a unbiased and honest review, please read below:

I attended and graduated from Maxima about a year ago. I came in to this school not feeling confident and a little apprehensive about my skills and what I would be able to achieve. However, I have to say that I was blown away by Salpie and her dedication to teaching me not only the technical skills to be a quality makeup artist, but she provides her invaluable knowledge regarding business, professionalism and how to have a thriving career. The class sizes are small so she can provide the individualized attention needed to be confident in your skills. Since I graduated I have really grown as a make up artist and have had some great opportunities. What I most appreciate about Salpie is her continuous love and support even after you graduate. She has provided helpful guidance to me when I wasn’t sure how to approach or respond to a situation in the industry and its comforting to know Salpie has your best interest at heart.

In regards to the makeup kit, I can’t emphasis enough that I always get complimented on my make up kit by other make up artists every single time I work at an event. The make up kit is top quality and has EVERYTHING you need to be a successful make up artist.

If you want to learn from the best, THIS is the place to go. If you still have questions about this school or the program, I’d be happy to discuss.

Thank you,

I attended and graduated from Maxima School of Makeup Artisrty about a year and a half ago. When I met Salpie everything I thought I’d find in a makeup school Maxima was what I was looking for. Immediately Salpie made me feel comfortable. She was friendly, warm, to the point, confident and absolutely amazing. Salpie is a very knowledgeable and a very talented/well known makeup artist. She is a dedicated intructor/mentor and someone that truly cares about her students. At Maxima, you get small class sizes to ensure proper one-on-one time and you learn so much in a short period of time She makes sure you do things right and is always there for you when you have questions or need help with anything. Being a makeup artist takes a lot of work. Salpie helps prepare you and point you in the right direction. I believe Maxima gives you the real skills you need to help you start a career as a makeup artist. She continues supporting her students after they have graduated. The makeup kit is top quality and has everything you need to be a makeup artist. Thanks to Salpie, I now feel more confident in my skills. Thanks to her mentoring I was able to be a part of the makeup crew for fashion week, a short film, a red carpet event, etc…If you are looking for the best school to become a makeup artists, I highly recommend this school.

Words can’t even begin to describe the amazing experience that I had at Maxima School of Makeup Artistry. Salpie is not only a teacher and role model but she is a mentor who gets you ready the real world and of course the makeup industry. She teaches you techniques and etiquette that you will use for the rest of your life. Salpie is your own personal cheerleader and helps you lay the path you see for your future in the makeup industry. During the course you learn how to apply makeup with a variety of techniques, different styles and types of makeup, special effects makeup and so much more! I also had amazing hands on experiences where I was able to shadow or assist on photoshoots and movies. Going through her Maxima School of Makeup Artistry with others that have the same passion was so gratifying; I now have confidence as a makeup artist that I never knew I could have. I highly suggest Maxima Makeup School of Makeup Artistry!
