I have been enjoying spa treatments here for several years. The students do a wonderful job and the spa is beautiful. I highly recommend!

I was visiting from out of state and clearly should've known better…read more Quite a number of students were ill mannered, disrespectful to each other and supervisors. Students were in the restroom talking negatively about the school and the directors. They were also negatively speaking about them when the directors would pass them. I should've left then. Some of the students were playing with the receptionist and having loud personal conversations up front. I should've left. The music was inappropriate. It was hard rap with XXX mature lyrics that should never be played anywhere but a strip club, but never in a place of business. I should've left. The student who was supposed to do my hair was Caucasian. She got offended when I asked if she was comfortable working with my African texture of hair. (Simple question with a yes or no answer.) She barely shampooed my Afro and didn't know how to do a simple two strand twist. (She wanted to put gel all over my hair first. Then, twist it in two strands like Celie from The Color Purple. ) I said absolutely not and asked for another person. Again...I should've left. Fortunately, another student came to the rescue and made a decent effort. This student was also Caucasian, but was clearly more comfortable with my hair and was familiar with a simple two strand twist, (although the parts were about 1-2" wide.... Have I mentioned Celie?). Eventually the directors got a clue and had a melanated student fix my hair and finish so I could leave. I left and came back with a substantial tip for that student fixing what she could before closed, and I left ASAP, heading to a well earned massage appointment. When I left, the police were sitting in the parking lot. I did not feel safe in shopping center. I was glad I had my trained security dog in the car and my personal concealed security means. I would never return or recommend this place to anyone. I had to redo half my hair when I got back to my hotel.

Gabi and Landin did an amazing job on my hair!! Highly recommend them both…read more Instagrams: - Gabi: @hairxgabriellerhys - Landin: @hairbylandin

What a pleasant experience! I love facials and hadn't had one in a while. It was definitely time…read morefor one but I didn't want to spend a ton of money. I called to schedule an appointment and the young lady who answered said it's walk-in only, along with their hours of operation. I decided to check it out yesterday. When I walked in, I was greeted and prompted to sign in/sign a release. I sat in the waiting area while my aesthetician got everything ready for my service. She (Angela) came out, introduced herself, and told me she would be out to get in a few once she finished setting up. In the front, there are hair stations. There were serval people getting washes, cuts, and blowouts. Off to the left, there's a few manicure stations. Massages and facials are completed in the same room--it's one large room with tables lining both sides. The facial was amazing!! It lasted about an hour and includes a décolleté, arm, and shoulder rub. Angela and I had small chat. It wasn't awkward at all. She was friendly and personable but also professional. The service was only $20! What a steal!!!

I can't give a review as services were never rendered What a…read moredisappointment!! I called yesterday to find out about the hours of operation for a manicure. I was told the facility was closed on Monday but will be opened on Tuesday at 9am. I arrived at 9:20am to be told that the students were in class until 12:30pm OMG really. Wow how do you run a school and the person who answers the phone does not know the school's schedule?!! Definitely bad business and teaching for your students as I'm sure you didn't just start having classes in Tuesdays & Thursdays. Very disappointed in this school.
