The instructors are knowledgeable, kind, and truly supportive. They genuinely care about their students and help them build confidence along the way. The hands-on training is excellent--students have real opportunities to practice and develop skills that truly prepare them for the workforce. I've seen a beautiful growth in my daughter--not only professionally, but personally as well. She feels prepared and confident to begin her career. I would highly recommend this academy to anyone interested in esthetics. Thank you to the entire team for helping my daughter grow into a confident and capable esthetician!

It wasn't as expensive as I was thinking it would be, I was full time so it was a little cheaper too! It's awesome being a student here because esthetic students can ask you to model for them and you basically can get free services done for having them practice on you. I made life long friendships here, I'm actually working in a salon right now with two of them :) thank you for guiding me in this new journey! Good luck to everyone who is trying to become a nail tech!

    One thing I really do respect about the Aveda Institute Charlotte is that they stand behind their…read morework with a seven-day service guarantee. After a very long and disappointing appointment earlier in the week -- nearly three hours in the chair -- the instructor could clearly tell I was unhappy before I even said much. To his credit, he immediately let me know that if I was not satisfied, I could come back within seven days to have the haircut corrected. I appreciated that professionalism and accountability. And honestly, that guarantee matters in a student salon environment because there is naturally a wide range of experience levels and confidence among students. Beauty school is where people learn, and I absolutely support that process. But guest experience, professionalism, pacing, communication, and learning how to "read the room" are just as important as technical skills. What disappointed me slightly was that nobody in leadership or management ever followed up with me directly about the experience, even after it was obvious I was dissatisfied. Sometimes guests simply want to feel heard. A quick conversation can go a long way toward building trust and improving the overall learning environment for both students and clients. That said, the school absolutely honored the guarantee, and the correction appointment completely restored my confidence. I left feeling heard, taken care of, and genuinely appreciative that the school was willing to make things right. So if you're considering the Aveda Institute, my advice is this: communicate clearly, allow extra time, and know that if something doesn't feel right, they do stand behind their services and will work with you to correct it. That kind of accountability deserves recognition.

    I had an appt for a haircut. Nothing crazy. Just a trim to the ends & a trim/cleaning up my layers…read more I asked for 4in to be cut & ended up with @ 9in cut off. I specifically asked the student that if she was unsure about anything I had asked, that she ask her educator for help. She didn't until the very end when she was doing some face framing & instead of gliding the scissors down the length of my hair to do this, she just chopped chunks into the front of my hair. The only way to salvage this was to cut my hair short to even this out. It was a terrible haircut & unfortunately I won't be going back. This is the second time this exact thing happened. While I understand they are students & you're taking that risk when you go, there just needs to be better supervision for the students. This girl who cut my hair was graduating in 4 wks & seemed like she was only 4 wks into the program. That's how bad this was. Also, I have been going here for probably 20 yrs so I k ow the drill. The caliber of students & educators has severely decreased. Back in the day the students & educators were much more professional & put together. Now when you go here, most of the students & educators look like they just rolled out of bed & grabbed anything on the floor. There is no professionalism. The educators used to come over and check in a few times during a visit. Now they come over at the beginning & the end & don't check in at all during the appt. This place used to be so much better than it is now. I would not recommend.

He means business and his students understand that. The student barbers are courteous, considerate, receptive to input from customers and Mr. Tap. They operate in a professional manner and seem very inquisitive about every aspect of "barbering." They work as a team and constantly listen and observe every aspect of "how to cut hair." They interact positively with their peers and the environment of the shop is "easy going." Even when Mr. Tap isn't in the shop monitoring his student barbers...it's like his spirit is there and the students behave in a professional manner. I receive ultimate attention and treatment each time I get my hair cut. There is no animosity and everyone gets along very well. It is impressive to observe the demeanor of the student barbers. It is quite apparent that they will be successful in the "barber shop world." These student barbers are a positive extension of Mr. Tap and they personify his work ethic, professionalism and attention to detail. It is always a pleasure to step inside Premier Grooming Academy and observe what these prospective professionals learn and how they mature. It's not just about the barbering process...it is about life...and that is what Mr. Tap teaches them. These student barbers are the "Real Deal." Respectfully submitted by: Artemus Flagg, Ph. D. (a very critical individual). My taste is very simple...I only like and expect the BEST!!!. Mr. Tap will continue his legacy and he is well respected in the community, the state and the nation. You have to experience the ambiance of Premier Grooming Academy to understand and acknowledge my perspective of a "Good Thing."
