I have been going to the Institute of Cosmetology, Esthetics & Massage for years for facials,…read morenails and massage and have generally had very positive experiences, which makes this situation especially disappointing. During my last massage appointment in March, the student assigned to me mentioned being exhausted and dealing with a death in the family. I sympathized with her situation, but unfortunately the massage itself involved very little pressure and did not help relieve the tension in my back muscles. When I requested deeper tissue work, she brought out a massage gadget instead of using her hands. I specifically requested a traditional hand massage without gadgets or elbows, but the session still did not feel therapeutic or effective. One concern I have is that the school requires clients to complete feedback forms directly in front of the student, which discourages honest feedback and makes clients uncomfortable expressing concerns openly. After the appointment, I politely informed the front desk that I did not feel I had received much of a massage. I was told someone would contact me. Instead, the only follow-up I received was a call canceling my next appointment, which had been scheduled with a different student. I called back twice afterward and received no response. Today, when I finally spoke with the owner, I was shocked by how condescending and dismissive the conversation became. Instead of listening, she talked over me and lectured me as if I were one of her students, or even worse, a misbehaving child. Rather than listening to a long-time client or offering a simple courtesy massage or any kind of gesture to resolve the issue, she spoke to me in a belittling and reprimanding manner. She even stated that I should be able to afford a $120 massage elsewhere and told me not to return for services. Insult upon insult. Don't ass-u-me a client is "poor" if he or she comes to your school. Without clients, your students could not complete their training. I get regular massages from my massage therapist of 15 years every other week. I came to your school because she is usually overbooked. At no point was I angry or disrespectful. I simply provided honest feedback after years of supporting the business. The experience left me feeling humiliated by a place that is supposed to help people feel relaxed, cared for, and valued. I feel offended and demoralized. There are many schools and businesses that welcome constructive feedback professionally and treat loyal clients with kindness and respect. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect those values. Notice how the owner was quick to reiterate that this is a school, yes, I know. Raising your voice, talking over me and demeaning me solidified this fact in concrete. You were not professional at all. This school is also regulated. As a German, I return to Europe every summer. It seems a trip to visit a dear friend in Zurich is long overdue. Maybe CIDESCO can clarify this incident.

The training here is so thorough and so consistent that one cannot help having a good experience…read more I've been coming here for years for facials. Even though this is a school and the student estheticians are at different stages of their training, I have always had a satisfying facial.

(Yelp listing has wrong suite number, they may have moved which also explains why that first photo…read moreis outdated and is not their current setup) First time here, heard about it from my sister who knew i had always wanted a lash lift so i made an appointment here. Obviously it can vary what kind of service you need and if a girl is available, but I called on a Friday and was able to get an appointment for the following Tuesday. Place isn't the easiest to find simply because where the name is on the strip center it is suites away from its actual spot. It's in the middle in an inner corner suite. No suite number on top but I just tried to look for #50 and found it easily once i was out of my car. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and within a few minutes the girl who doing the lash lift came to get me. There is 2 seats at the front for those that have a bit of a wait if they arrive early. This isn't a one floor level place, there is a slightly lower level. (The ground level you enter on only had like 5 chairs for hair services, rest seem to be "downstiars"). I'd reach out if you're concerned about accessibility needs because I'm not sure if there was an elevator. The place isn't upscale by by means, very bare bones, no decor, simple but of course you're there for the services not aesthetic. Room I was in had 3 (maybe 4) of those long massage table type things. I was offered a sheet and a water bottle and said yes to both. I was in an above knee dress and for whatever reason I didn't think ahead that I'd be laying down for the appointment so I'm glad they had the sheet. I'll try to remember to come in shorts or jeans next time lol. Anyways Angela was super nice, explained the process and how long it'd take and constantly checked on me throughout the entire thing. I was never in any kind of discomfort, only little bit of itchiness but that was just thanks to how the tape was put on my outer corner pitching a bit. But it was no big deal and I told Angela not to worry about it. Honestly I probably could've fallen asleep but I was curious about all the steps so I stayed awake to ask her about it throughout all of it. Next time though I'd fall asleep cause she was just that gentle with eyes. I LOOOOOVE the results. I've always had super long but straight lashes and hated having to use a curler or mascara to get this intended effect. I will definitely be coming back, supposed to last 2-3 months. Oh also for those that have never gotten a lift before there are different "levels" or styles that you can get. I just went with the most lifted.

As a parent of a child with special needs, I want to share our deeply disappointing experience with…read moreFINS. When we enrolled our child, we were assured FINS would be patient, flexible and accommodating. Unfortunately this turned out to be false. At the first sign of discomfort during one of his sessions, something not uncommon for children with sensory or developmental challenges, FINS made the decision to remove him from the program entirely. We had accrued 13 make up sessions to this point and were told we could do the make up sessions during the daytime slots. But when we tried to take them up on that offer, that option was suddenly unavailable. No warnings. No make up sessions. No partial refund. No support. FINS presented itself as inclusive and understanding, but when it truly mattered they turned their back on a child who just needed some extra support. This was not just poor communication - it felt like a complete disregard for a vulnerable student and their family. To any parent considering FINS, especially those with children of special needs, think twice. This experience was not only frustrating. It was deeply hurtful. We expected compassion. Instead what we got was a business decision and this place is purely in it for the money. Our child deserves better.
