    Ashley gave an amazing relaxing facial. Everyone at ICE&M is so nice. The facility is clean and I…read morecould tell the students are learning everything they need to know to becoming successful.

    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.

    Excellent massage school with the graduating students completing their required massage hours by…read moreoffering appointments to the general public. Unique opportunity to enjoy a very economical full 60 or 90 minute professional massage in a bright and attractive school. The therapy room is individually curtained and the atmosphere quite relaxing.

    Solid 3. This would have been a 5 but the massages are in a public open area that is only divided…read moreby curtains. You can hear everything from the other therapists and clients. I wish I would have known this up front. Management please let clients know this. The therapist next to us along with the client went out of their way to Keep on talking and not keeping it short and to the minimum. Also the client before kept saying " ohhh ohh my god " lol really couldn't fall asleep or relax. They really need to tell first time clients this up front and or provide ear plugs. Now the massage therapist Payton is a 5 star experience! She is top notch and gave a great massage. It's not her fault all the noise was quite bothering so if I could rate her alone that would be five stars all day. Her attention to detail and technique is top notch! I was very happy with her massage and will book again. I'll simply ask for private room or bring my AirPods. All that noise was simply out of line and truly disrupting and distracting and let me also add annoying. I had to give them a five. Payton is great. Just bring ear plugs.
