Rita Kruse

Rita Kruse has spent her entire professional life in cosmetology education. Before MSI, she founded and led one of the most respected aesthetic training programs in Florida, where she personally certified more than fifteen hundred licensed estheticians over a fifteen-year run.

When Rita joined MSI as co-founder and Director of Education, she brought a complete, time-tested, state-board-aligned curriculum that has been refined through five exam-cycle revisions. The MSI 220-hour facial specialist program is built on her framework. So is the advanced continuing-education ladder we offer to working professionals.

Rita's classroom philosophy is unfashionable in a good way: students do not advance to the clinic floor until they have demonstrated three consecutive flawless practical exams on a mannequin head. Repetition is the curriculum. Mastery is the only acceptable outcome.
