MILITARY VETERANS AND OTHERS STAY CLEAR!…read more I had a terrible experience with this massage school, and I feel compelled to warn others. First off, they never explained that housing benefits would cease during the clinical portion of the program. As a veteran, getting housing allowance while going to school is an amazing benefit and one that we don't want to miss out on. This isn't a problem at other schools like MDC. This critical information was omitted, leading me to drop out. I had one class left before finding this out. To add insult to injury, they charged me $200 for leaving the program and even made me pay for my transcripts. The main teacher, Mrs. Kim, made the entire experience unbearable. She was unprofessional, borderline psycho, and made the program so miserable that I no longer wanted to continue. She even went as far as holding me after class in an attempt to break me as a person. Her behavior was incredibly weird, and the only relief came when she finally left. Her brother was a way better teacher. He didn't seem to use the class as much as an ego stroke or soapbox like it was for his sister Kim. The program itself is a joke. The tests are poorly written, and the professors seem more interested in passing students through than actually teaching the material. There's no syllabus provided, making it nearly impossible to prepare for exams or understand what content to focus on. This place is a mess, and it's telling that they don't allow Google reviews--probably because they know how bad the feedback would be. Instead, you're forced to leave reviews on Yelp, where it's harder for the truth to come out. All in all, I do not recommend this program at all. Save your time, money, and sanity by looking elsewhere.

My second visit I got different lady, she took 2 minutes to clean my face put mask on my face and was texting to someone all the time. After she did face massage, I definitely wasn't satisfied as I was after my first visit. I went to ask if I can have First Lady next time but she wasn't working there anymore. I had to extract all black heads myself when I got home . My third visit I was ready to use all my Spanish vocabulary to explain I need extractions and not massage. When I came for my appointment the receptionist asked me why I came and said I don't have appointment and pretty much didn't have any interest in fixing this problem. We don't schedule for Saturday's anymore, well I was scheduled way before and it would be nice to call and notify that appointment was cancelled. She had zero interest to take care of it. So I had nothing to do but to leave, it takes me about 40 minutes to get there for nothing!

This pass Saturday it happened and I knew I had to find someone that could really help me with this issue. I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Phil, he took his time to help me get on the table, listen to my all of my concerns and addressed all the issues with my back along with other areas. I have never been worked on like that before when I had one of these back episodes in the past. He knew exactly when to apply pressure and when to lighten up. Throughout the whole process he would check in with me to make sure I was getting relief. When I tell you I was in complete shock at how much he minimized my pain afterwards I wanted to cry! This man knows what he is doing and really listens to his clients. I've only had 2 sessions with him so far and my back is a million times better just after that first session. I have tried physical therapy and other places to help keep this at bay and nothing has worked this quick and provided so much relief. He is now going to be apart of my monthly routine to ensure this never comes back..Thank you Phil for all your help!

Even though Phil has lots of 5 star reviews they're a bit old so I'm adding an updated review so…read moreyou can know he's still great. I found him on Yelp and went to his website late Sunday night and saw he had an 8 am appointment available for the next morning. I wasn't sure if I booked if he'd actually get a notification and know I was coming so I texted him on the number listed here around 7:30 and he told me come on in. He was also nice enough to accommodate me at 8:30 even though he only offers massage from 8-9 on Monday mornings. When I arrived he asked me what issues I was having and what I was looking for and then got to work. I've never had a deep tissue/sports massage before so I wasn't sure what to expect but it was in many ways like a regular spa massage. You know, get naked (or undress to your comfort level) and lay on the massage table. His was heated which was a nice touch. Like others mentioned he was great about checking in with me during and asking if I was ok or needed more/less pressure etc. I found he was able to immediately hone in on the sore spots in my neck and shoulders and used just the right amount of pressure. I was looking for a strong touch and got it. Very happy with the massage and the pricing was more than reasonable. Attaching a picture of the entrance to his spot because it is no longer in a salon, he has his own space. My GPS tried to take me into the neighborhood behind his building. It's the 8300 plaza, just east of Pine Island on 84.

Allí pude fortalecer y ampliar mis conocimientos gracias a la dedicación y profesionalismo de quien fue mi instructora, la profesora Liliam Iglesias. Con gran empatía y compromiso, nos guió y preparó en un momento en que el mundo atravesaba tiempos difíciles debido al COVID. Su vocación y apoyo marcaron una diferencia invaluable en mi formación. Recomiendo 1000% La Belle Beauty Academy, porque gracias a ustedes pude continuar mi preparación en otro estado donde actualmente resido y donde hoy me desempeño con orgullo como instructora de Cosmetología y Skin Care. Gracias por inspirarme nuevamente y, especialmente, a mi profesora Liliam Iglesias por recordarme siempre que "Saber es Poder". I graduated in 2020 from the Skin Care program, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude. Having just arrived from my home country, I found not just a school, but a truly transformative experience where I learned a world of techniques, modalities, and, most importantly, the true value of human connection and care. There, I was able to strengthen and expand my knowledge thanks to the dedication and professionalism of my instructor, Professor Liliam Iglesias. With great empathy and commitment, she guided and prepared us during a time when the world was going through very difficult moments due to COVID. Her vocation and support made an invaluable difference in my education. I 1000% recommend La Belle Beauty Academy, because thanks to you I was able to continue my training in another state where I currently live and where I now proudly work as a Cosmetology and Skin Care instructor. Thank you for inspiring me once again, and especially to my professor, Liliam Iglesias, for always reminding me that "Knowledge is Power."

I called earlier in the day and spoke with a nice woman on the phone who told me that massage…read moreservices are available at night starting at 6 pm. I showed up at 5:55 and was told to wait. Eventually i was brought up to where the massage school is and was greeted by no one that spoke any english. Eventually one student who spoke a little english arrived 30+ minutes later. The teacher told me they could only do back massages and for 30 minutes only. I agreed since i had already made the trip however this was a HUGE mistake. I waited 40 minutes outside of the classroom where i repeatedly heard them talking about me and the service. When i was eventually invited in i was handed a dirty massage towel that had a ton of hair in the velcro and a massage bed full of stains. The massage started while the class was still running and all i could hear was talking. I paid well over the advertised price, $40 for what was supposed to be a 30 min massage and was nothing more than 20 minutes, i actually thought she was joking when she said it was finished. I checked the time on my phone and it wasn't even 18 minutes. By this point i was so annoyed i just wanted to leave. Granted i know they are students, but this is a massage school, you would think they are being taught actual techniques. I was basically tickled for 18 min for $40. I have been to several massage schools before where i got services done by a student under supervision of an instructor, this was beyond a SCAM!!!
