I went to the school to get a student haircut, and I left more disappointed than ever…read more FAIL: The space for the haircuts was a total mess, chairs and tables all over the place, heads placed around every available space, uncleaned floors and windows--just disgusting! FAIL: When I got a student, I provided him with a clear description of what I wanted him to do (description below), yet several times he was unsure of what the simple instructions meant, so he had to call over his instructor. The sad thing is that the instructor was also fairly clueless. He keeps insisting on ignoring my instructions and doing only what he knows. My hair is naturally curly when the length is greater than 1.25 inches, yet he treated my hair like it was straight. It's appalling that students aren't properly taught the difference in curly vs. straight hair, so I'll never go back and tell everyone not to go here. FAIL: The student also decided to shorten my beard that naturally blends into my hair without asking me. I asked what he was doing without my consent and he said, "Oh, OK" Analysis: The students ARE CLEARLY NOT taught to keep their workspace clean, the difference between curly and straight hair, or that you should always ask the customer if the directions they're going in are right. My instructions: "Keep the top around ¾ to 1 inch to control the curl. Use scissors only on the sides -- don't shorten them, just remove bulk. Blend the sides into the top softly with scissors, no thinning shears."

I encourage anyone considering this program to ask very detailed questions and obtain written…read moreclarification about exactly what will be taught before enrolling. In my experience, I did not receive the full program that was originally described to me during enrollment. As I reached the end of my training, there were areas of the curriculum that were not provided in hands-on practice. When I asked about completing those sections, I was informed there was no time remaining and that I would need to finish the program as it was. This made the experience feel incomplete and frustrating, especially for a vocational program where practical training is essential. I recommend researching carefully, asking for specifics in writing, and making sure the program truly aligns with your expectations before making a commitment.

I can not say enough about Nora at Bellus. She gave me the most beautiful full head of highlights…read morethat I have ever had. I was so impressed. Nora was insightful and helped me pick a color that was just right for my complexion. She also gave me a great haircut. I have very fine hair, so she was mindful of giving me the layers I wanted without making my hair look even thinner. I felt so confident walking out of the salon. Nora is kind and I had a great time with her! She is beyond talented and I hope to be able to follow her to wherever she ends up after graduating. Go see her now before she's gone!!!
