She listened to my request and delivered a great haircut. Everything from the wash to the blowout was executed better than what I have encountered at a much higher price point. I tried this option out of desperation when my regular stylist cancelled at the last minute, but I will definitely be a return customer. It is not very often that you find a spot that meets your expectations, today, Makaila, and the front desk guy, exceeded mine! Thank you.

PLEASE READ!! I graduated a few months back and I have had some time to reflect on my experience…read morehere. I want to go ahead and say Ms. Shaunda, Ms. Cindy, and Ms. Blackshear absolutely made my entire experience here worth it. Their professionalism and wisdom helped me through so much and I want to think they are the reason I stayed at this school. The other staff members at this school were at times unprofessional, childish, rude, unreasonable, and disrespectful. They proved time and time again that they were inexperienced and truly didn't understand cosmetology. On multiple occasions they were completely unhelpful on client services as well as teaching services on our mannequin heads. At one point in my time here our instructor Ms. Megan was teaching us Men's haircuts (and I use the word "teaching" loosely) and as we did each assessment and got our results back each time it would say "good but needs more blending" but never explained what blending was or how to achieve the look she was talking about. On a separate occasion Ms. Megan brought gifts and cupcakes for a group of students who stayed the day before because a group of us left early. She told a student that stayed that they better show up the next day because she was going to bring gifts in order to humiliate those of us that left that day. That next morning they had a whole assembly with the entire school where they presented these gifts and cupcakes in an attempt to embarrass and humiliate those of us that left. Ms. Megan also discriminated against my gay friend Ishmael. She refused to say that he did drag when having us do an ice breaker activity where we all made up 2 truths and 1 lie. When she got to Ish's she read it out loud and instead of reading "I do drag" she read "I do dress up" as if she was disgusted by the idea. If that wasn't enough she wrote him up multiple times for reasons she couldn't explain saying that he was making comments that was "making others uncomfortable" . How is it acceptable to be this disrespectful, inappropriate, and unprofessional? Ms. Megan had no passion for teaching she was only there for the pay check. Ms. Neyda was our instructor for our Hairstyling Module. She had no idea what she was doing. She didn't teach us at all, she read the book to us and added no information or commentary that made the lecture more interesting. As someone who is 24 years old, I know how to read so it was very unnecessary. She also couldn't teach us most of the concepts in this module such as braiding, updos, pin curls, and finger waves. Instead of teaching us she showed us YouTube videos or had other teachers show us. If she didn't know how to teach the module then why did she. When we needed help she was no where to be found and when we tried to help each other she told us that wasn't allowed. So how was I expected to learn the concept if no one would help me. As well as not knowing how to teach us she also made it her mission to make every student's life miserable while they were here. She was completely unreasonable for certain rules that made no sense. At one point a student checked the time on their phone for literally one second so they could sign out and she told them to go home. The rule was we weren't allowed to be on our phones but it seems pretty unreasonable that we couldn't even check the time. The school also requires us to carry our entire kit in small shoebox sized plastic containers up 2 flights of stairs every morning due to the fact that there are not enough lockers in the school. As a result many of us were late multiple days due to having to carry multiple boxes up the stairs and only being given 5 min to do so. Overall, my experience at this school was horrific. Ms. Megan and Ms. Neyda are completely unprofessional and disrespectful to students and clients. I would like to reiterate that i had a wonderful experience with Ms. Shaunda, Ms. Cindy, and Ms. Blackshear but unfortunately that was completely overshadowed by Ms. Megan and Ms. Neyda. I would not recommend coming to this school it is not worth the energy. In the amount of money you save by going here you lose sanity from dealing with unreasonable instructors.

I am currently a student here and I am very glad I chose this school because of how flexible it is…read morewith my schedule. Mr.James is a great instructor and very passionate when it comes to teaching his students. He has taught me a lot on haircutting . He goes above and beyond for his students even the ones who do not have a good attitude. If you have a good attitude and are there for the right reasons which is to learn how to do hair and aren't constantly complaining about every little thing, you'll have an excellent time! Mrs. Ericka is also an amazing instructor. She's very supportive and helpful.

The students are attentive and take their time, and the instructors are always nearby to guide and ensure everything turns out great. The service is affordable, and you can really tell they care about both their clients and their students. I highly recommend if you're looking for quality service at a great price! They do hair cuts , color , blow outs , facials and more . If you are looking for a cosmetology or barbering school, check them out . Call them or stop by

*Client Perspective*…read more I do not recommend this place for paid services (face) as you can get the same value by going to a professional electrologist and have the confidence that they are doing it correctly and quickly. My issue is not with the electrologists as they are learning, but with the business not being fair in how they charge for services. Professionals only charge for hair removal time, but here the owner is including check-in, setup, and catapherisis (at the end) time which is usually 20-25 min. For an hour appt today, I had 35 minutes of actual treatment. On a prior visit, I had 5 minutes of hair removal for an hour session because the "senior" technician had not worked on the chin and could not remove the hair despite poking me dozens of times with the needle/probe. I brought these issues to the owner's attention because it is unethical how they are charging customers and not being transparent. Instead of using this feedback to improve business practices, she suggested I find another place. If the owner wants customers to be altruistic by giving students practice, then she should not be charging for any services since it is already benefiting her for-profit school and students. I am barely clearing my chin out in 8 sessions, as students remove approx. 40-50 hairs per hour compared to over 200 hairs by professionals. The value for your money and time is the same as going to a professional. I have found several electrologists in the area that are $90 per hour. The $20 per hour will cost the same in the long-run if the professional is removing 4x the rate as a student and more experienced to provide permanent results.

If your looking into a cosmetology school or even looking to just go in as a client I would…read morerecommend this school for one reason and one reason only, the instructor Ms. Bea. She is the most talented, kind hearted, sympathetic, experienced woman I have ever encountered. I can not say enough good things about her. She is my inspiration not only as a cosmetologist but as a person. While I was her student I went through many hardships she was the only person that kept me going. She has instilled the confidence in me that not even my own parents would. She treats all of her students like her own children and truely does love each and everyone one. Ms. Bea is also fabulous in her methods of teaching. She has taught me things that even experienced working stylists dont even know. If one day I have half the talent she does I would consider myself lucky. Anyone who has Ms. Bea as an instructor, friend, or anything else should consider themselves more then lucky.

I am giving this place 3 out of 5 stars One star because the…read moreplace was clean and organized and set up well with proper stations and seats etc. Another star because I like that there is a store at the front and the front staff is great. The other Star because I appreciate the owner is an actual talented makeup artist and has over 20 years of experience. I can't give a full five stars because the program was set up really weird. I understood it was a Sunday class (great sounds convenient) It was like 5 consecutive weeks in a row with a two week break in between but each class I understood was Sundays from 8:30am to 5pm or 9 to 6 (or something to that affect with an hour lunch) BUT literally I DID NOT get out of there until after 10 PM sometimes midnight, not only did this inconvenience my whole family (and I have little kids that are in elementary school) it threw off our whole week. I might add, being in a class for that long as a student ...I wasn't even retaining any of the information after hour six. I don't think this type of learning is beneficial for anybody (in my opinion). I think the classes should be broken up and spread out and maybe no more than six hours per class. It would be even great to do like a four hour class. After that all the information I learned I did not retain, unfortunately. And if you try to leave early, they made it feel like a big deal and it was frowned upon. It was a stressful bummer. Other than that, I think it was a great program. I like the products that they used that I bought from them When I signed up, I understood the cost of the program was one price and then the kit was an extra thousand, but it was "optional"...BUT when you get there, it's very obvious that you have to use the products that they have you buy from them. I saw one girl bring her kit, but she wasn't using it. They asked her to buy their kit and use that one. We had to use all the makeup that they provided which was great Makeup. (when you buy the kit, it comes together you don't have to purchase anything individually, which I thought was great). BUT if you're on a budget, this is probably not the program for you. My total investment was around $4500. I attended in Aug 2024. I like that at the end we got a certificate and they had a little graduation that was really fun. Also a few times they bought us pizza or burritos which was nice and unexpected. I appreciated that as well.
