    Amazing is not the best to say about this business...it is top notch!!!! Great people and…read morestudents...a 100 % for sure!

    *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.

    Oh if only I could give 100 stars !! I was taught by Miss Ruby years ago. I remember when I took my…read morestate board exam I was disappointed that my test wasn't much harder, hahaha. I was more than prepared, and with my license I hit the floor running. Like Lovella (who also made a review) I too, and several other former students, have gone on to open our own beauty salons & hire employees to continue our expansion. Our businesses are thriving, you can do the research. All of us that have gone on to be successful have nothing but extraordinary things to say about Miss Ruby bc she was the one who pushed & helped us to be as great as we can be. I personally have seen many students come & go while I was a student, whether bc they were graduating or bc they were dropping. Miss Ruby is very passionate about teaching skin care. This is her life and for students to come in & not take the course seriously is insulting & a waste of her time and other students time. There are many young immature girls that enroll & these are the ones who complain and create drama and bad reviews. She does not care about the money and honestly she doesn't care for peoples opinions who do not take this course seriously. UNDERSTAND, YOU ARE WORKING ON PEOPLES FACES!! The tiniest mistake, and you can burn people, scar people, seriously injure, or even kill someone bc you are not paying attention to things they are allergic to or the fact they have a heart condition. If you are not ready to take this class & career seriously, Please, look elsewhere. So please take this into consideration upon doing your research for schools & reading reviews. If you ARE ready to make your Esthetics dream a reality, then this is the perfect place for you! You will see how amazing you can be when you're pushed to your fullest potential! Highly recommended!!

    Yes, great training academy! I learned to do classic lashes today. Our teacher was great!read more

    I really like this place. Didn't even know it existed until my friend went to school here and I…read morewent in so that she could give me a hair cut. The prices are reasonable to say the least, and they offer a lot of services. I thought they just did hair, but they do manicures and pedicures, as well as facials. honestly this could be a one stop shop spa day for anyone who had the time and was able to get back to back appointments. Yes, the technicians are students so you won't be getting a Paul Mitchell haircut or anything, but they do a good job here. When you're inside one of the instructors is walking around and supervising in case a student has a question or needs help with something. And they're all there to learn so they try harder to give you what you want than a "professional" would because they know that people will probably critique them more than someone from Super Cuts or somewhere. It takes a while for a haircut because, like I said, they take their time to make sure that they get it right and give you what you want. I would rather the student cutting my hair take their time and also ask the instructor for tips if they feel uncomfortable rather than going into a salon and telling them what I want and then have them give me their interpretation of it that I end up hating. Definitely want to come back and try out their other services.

    I had a fantastic experience getting my nails done by Elizabeth. My nails turned out perfect! I'll…read moredefinitely be coming back to her. Highly recommend!"

    As a self taught makeup artist, I took this course to be able to learn the ins and outs as a makeup…read moreartist. I wanted to learn the business AND other things I never really learned on my own. TAKE THIS COURSE! Even if you already know makeup, you will surely learn more as you go through all of the mini masterclasses and learning from Ale & Hector! It's been a blast and I loved everyone I got to work with during the course!

    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.
