Method to Get Customer Collection in Magento 2:

use Magento\Customer\Model\Customer

class ClassName 
{
    protected $customerCollection;

    public function __construct(Customer $customerCollection)
    {
        $this->customerCollection = $customerCollection;
    }

    public function getCustomerCollection() {
