    Found this place through Groupon's $35 Corrective Facial deal. Their regular price is $45 and they…read morehave a stamp card where after 5 facials you get one free (which they didn't give me the first time I went, mind you). Price wise, it's unbeatable in this area. As far as what the price gets you...well a student edition that's slower and therefore abridged. There's a lot they simply don't have time for as the student tries to rush through everything in about 45minutes. The first time takes longer as there's a review of your intake forms, and a discussion on what products to use during this facial. After cleansing, an instructor comes in to check your skin and advise the student on what to do and what products to use. I found this process useful for determining what products I should and should not use. I came back and scheduled with the same student just to get an idea of how much my skin might've improved after following the instructors advice. Very useful. They student double cleanses while streaming your skin. There's always makeup removal even though I've tried telling them I have permanent makeup and no additional makeup on. I really wished they would add this to their chart so we can just skip all this "makeup removal" when no makeup is worn. Anyway, after double cleansing there's an inspection, in my case exfoliation, a mask, and then some treatment as necessary. I assume not everyone has the same treatment as we have different issues to address. Overall the rooms and tables are comfortable. They play pleasant music. It's meant to be a relaxing spa experience. However, as they don't have any lymphatic massage included, or bring any of the facial down to your neck/chest, it really feels a little j complete. There's also not been any extraction even though estheticians usually would extract.

    I'm so happy I discovered esthetic Institute through groupon. Now I've been here over 8 times and…read moreI've been working with one particular student for a few months now. Her level of knowledge with problem/acne skin has impressed me. As someone who has tried almost everything in the industry and visited countless dermatologists for years to treat my face, I've never been treated with such great attention to my skin and such a personalized action plan. She has been working to lighten my hyperpigmentation and I already see great improvement. I've done regular facials, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. Now that my hyperpigmentation has been improving, I hopped over to their location next door (the Esthetic Laser Clinic, not to be confused with Esthetic Institute-where the students are) and got microneedling (Skinpen) done. I am excited to see the results. The Esthetic Laser clinic is the real deal and it is not done by students. Pricing for the Esthetic Institute is wonderful, especially for this area where everything seems to be on the higher end. I'm sad to be moving from the area soon but I know that anytime I'm back in town, a trip to the esthetic Institute will be on my list!

She was also incredibly time-conscious, making sure I felt fully cared for while staying right on schedule -- which I truly appreciated. You could really see her natural caring ability and how much she has grown in both confidence and technique. She was knowledgeable, gentle, and intentional with every step. I felt completely taken care of and genuinely relaxed the entire time. My skin looks and feels amazing, and I left glowing -- inside and out. If you're considering a facial here, do it. This was hands-down one of the best skincare experiences I've had, and I can't wait to come back. This school is really bringing talent to the industry!

Shanay is extremely professional and models what it means to be a dedicated beauty professional. My course was taught by Mrs. Ciney. Ciney is an expert in sanitation and infectious control. Through her charismatic instruction she not only taught us the technique behind makeup application; but really transformed and trained our eye for flawless natural beauty. We learned how to properly customize shades to match clients skintones and blend eyeshadows to perfect. Ciney has years of experience that she brings to every class and shares those experiences to help fully prepare you for the world of Makeup Artistry outside of the classroom. I can not say enough about her skill and the impact she has had on my artistry! I have been contemplating going to beauty school for 3 years. With a full time job I searched for the best program for Makeup Artistry that would give me quality education and work with my schedule of being a wife and mom that works full time. Topcurl Beauty Academy is an Inglot partner school and trains you to truly understand the products and best application.I am so happy and grateful that I found Topcurl Beauty academy. Whether you are searching for a Makeup, cosmetology, or nail technician course I know you will find that Topcurl is the best school choice for you!

The video recording will show it. Be careful and don't let her treat you badly, too. Students need to learn customer service skills along with the hair styling techniques.

I would recommend something super basic like a blow dry, wash, and curl. I called ahead made my appointment, you can also book a specific person if you would like. The aesthetic here is nice and it was clean. I waited about 10 minutes to be called back after I checked in with the hostess. I paid $30 or $35 dollars? Can't remember and I left a tip. My hair was decent I knew I would go home and restyle it some, but what I was after was the light texture and bounce when you get a fresh blowout. It would have came out a little better had she blow dried my hair longer. Overall pretty good job, would I come back? Maybe. This is a nice resource when you need a last minute hair do and you can somewhat restyle it yourself.

    My recent experience as a client at your cosmetology school was unfortunately disappointing,…read moreprimarily due to a lack of professionalism and customer service from one of your students and the front desk staff. As a former cosmetology student myself, I understand the importance of both technical skill and client interaction. During my appointment, the student assigned to me seemed to be having a difficult day. She initially called out the wrong name, mistaking me for my goddaughter who I had previously brought in for services. When this was corrected, it became clear my service was not properly listed under my name. The student then appeared confused when I stated I was there for a color service. When I suggested she double-check with the front desk, she abruptly walked away, stating, "I don't want to do her hair. I want someone else." This was unprofessional and frankly, quite shocking. What was equally concerning was the response from the front desk when I attempted to address the situation. Instead of listening to my legitimate concerns, I was met with a closed mind and told I was "being disrespectful." I was surprised and offended by this dismissal, as I was simply trying to explain the situation calmly and respectfully. As a client, and someone who understands the industry, I would never intentionally be disrespectful. It felt as though my experience was being minimized and my character questioned without a fair hearing. I believe instructors are aware of which students may have difficulties, and it's crucial for the school to foster an environment where professionalism and respectful communication are consistently upheld by both students and staff. A truly professional front desk would have de-escalated the situation and shown a willingness to understand the client's perspective, rather than immediately placing blame. The student went to the area where the other students were to gossip about it and try to gain consensus. While I appreciate the learning environment a cosmetology school provides, this incident highlights a significant gap in the application of crucial customer service and professional conduct. I hope this feedback can be used constructively to improve future client experiences. Building a Clientele (Even as a Student): Even in school, you'll be working on real people. If you provide excellent service, those clients are more likely to return, recommend you to others, and potentially become your future clients once you graduate and are fully licensed. Reputation: Your reputation starts forming the moment you begin working with clients. A good reputation for customer service will follow you throughout your career. Conversely, a reputation for being dishonest or having a poor personality can be very difficult to overcome. Being Nice and providing Grace goes a long way. I have to add that I posted sn amazing review in the past this year and Ms. Shelly was Amazing. She still is Amazing giving the magnitude of work she does and her school responsibilities. I had to memorialize my opinion for lessons learned purposes.

    I got my makeup artist license from the Chesapeake School of Makeup Artistry in Annapolis back in…read more2001 or 2002. Since then it has moved (to Arnold) and expanded to become the Chesapeake School of Esthetics. The program was excellent and in fact I moved from Minnesota to Maryland to get my makeup artist license from CSMA. At the time the school was a one woman operation, with Betty J Wilder acting as admissions office and instructor. According to the website there is now at least one other staff member onboard. I attended the 40 Hour Makeup Demonstrators Program. We met once or twice a week and the program was completed in about two months. We learned about color theory, face types, skin undertones, makeup applications, and good sanitation practices. I also took a one day followup seminar on photography makeup. Betty is an invaluable resource when it comes to knowing about people, trends, and companies in the beauty business. She is kind, friendly, approachable and absolutely hilarious!! She also introduced me to Paula Begoun's books and debunked many skincare myths (see my review of Paula's Choice skincare: http://www.yelp.com/biz/paulas-choice-renton-2#hrid:TB6hGsxic3s0_7YlZANAug/src:self). My class was maybe ten people at the most, which ensured every student got as much attention and information as they needed. Students ranged from people just interested in cosmetics to people already working as makeup artists. The final exam involved a written test and makeup application demonstration. Though the makeup artist license is not a full cosmetology or aesthetician license, I learned alot, it helped me get a job with two cosmetic lines, and I still get a discount at Sally's Beauty Supply! I highly recommend this program for someone solely interested in makeup, and not hair, nails, waxing, or skincare. Just be aware of the limitations of the license, as many salons will probably prefer someone with a full license. This program currently costs $980. I can't say much about the 600 Hour Skin Care and Makeup Artistry Program as Betty was just getting the esthetics program started when I was at CSMA. According to the website, the program runs for twenty weeks, enrollment is limited to eight students, and the course includes lecture/theory and hands on labs. Topics covered include: Facial and Body Treatments, Facial Massage, Skin Analysis, Hair Removal, Makeup Application, Skin Care Equipment , Color Analysis, and Retails Skills. The cost is $8,750. There are not many schools or programs like this in the country (believe me, I looked at almost all the possibilities) so if this is your specific area of interest, I highly recommend the Chesapeake School of Esthetics. See the website for more details: http://www.education-csma.com.

Betty is extremely knowledgeable and an all around great person to work with. The curriculum is great and I felt 100% prepared to take my state boards with confidence. When I was attending, Betty had a 100% pass rate for the state board testing, which is a statistic that shows how much she puts into her school. After I graduated, I passed my state boards and proceeded on to work in a spa for about 2 years. I just recently ended up being offered my dream job in the cosmetics industry and I have to thank Betty because without this amazing school I would not be where I am today.
