What Students Are Saying
★★★★★
"I failed my boards the first time and was devastated. A classmate told me about SGS and I played The Board every night for two weeks. Passed with an 88. This platform changed everything for me."
Jasmine T.
Cosmetology · Atlanta, GA
★★★★★
"Shear Heights is genius. I always stressed about the practical — setting up my kit correctly, knowing what should and shouldn't be on the table. That simulation drilled it into me. Passed on my first try."
Marcus W.
Barbering · Houston, TX
★★★★★
"Shear Square bingo made studying actually fun. My whole class would play together after hours. We were laughing and learning at the same time — and when boards came, we were ready."
Aaliyah R.
Nail Technology · Miami, FL
★★★★★
"I'm not a textbook person. Reading chapters over and over does nothing for me. SGS gave me games, timed tests, and instant feedback — that's how I learn. Scored a 91 on my written exam."
Destiny M.
Esthetics · Charlotte, NC
★★★★★
"The Final Look exam is no joke — 100 questions, timed, graded by chapter. I took it three times before boards and each time my score went up. Walked in confident and came out licensed."
Brianna K.
Cosmetology · Chicago, IL
★★★★★
"My instructor recommended SGS to the whole class. We started playing The Board as a group during study hall. The competition made everyone study harder without even realizing it."
Darnell F.
Barbering · Detroit, MI
★★★★★
"I had boards in 10 days and was panicking. Found SGS, bought the practice pack, and studied every single day. I don't know how I would have gotten through without the chapter-by-chapter practice tests."
Tiffany L.
Nail Technology · Phoenix, AZ
★★★★★
"The skin structure chapters always tripped me up. The Board game hit every single concept — layers of skin, disorders, diseases — until I finally had it locked in. That chapter? Nailed it on the exam."
Simone A.
Esthetics · Los Angeles, CA
★★★★★
"I studied for 3 weeks using only SGS materials. Games, flashcards, practice tests — everything. My instructor was shocked when I told her I passed on the first attempt. SGS is worth every penny."
Keisha P.
Cosmetology · New Orleans, LA
★★★★★
"What I love is that it covers everything — not just one program. I'm doing cosmetology but my friend is in esthetics and we both use the same platform. We study together using the multiplayer games now."
Priya N.
Cosmetology · Dallas, TX
★★★★★
"I'm 38 years old going back to school for barbering. I was nervous about keeping up. The SGS games made review feel manageable — not overwhelming. My younger classmates couldn't believe I outscored them."
Raymond J.
Barbering · Philadelphia, PA
★★★★★
"The bingo sets are underrated. I used them to review with my study group every Sunday. Six of us, all different chapters, rotating through. We all passed. I genuinely believe SGS is the reason."
Monique S.
Nail Technology · Atlanta, GA
