I left feeling confident and beautiful from having both of them do my hair.

If you are searching for a barber or salon that delivers exceptional customer service and…read moreprioritizes your needs, look no further than the establishment that fixed my men's perm. What sets this place apart from any other hair styling place is their unwavering commitment to customer happiness and customer service. Upon receiving a haircut I didn't love, Lorraine reached out to me and invited me to the Champion's Barber and Beauty Academy, where she genuinely took the time to listen to my concerns and preferences and then went ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure that I left feeling completely satisfied. The owners, both Kevin and Lorraine, are truly amazing and some of the nicest people I have ever met. Not only that, but the level of expertise displayed by their students and everyone working at the salon blew me away! Just from my observation: everyone's desire to learn, attention to detail, and willingness to listen put a smile on my face. This type of care and dedication is truly the pinnacle of a great business, and I have no doubt that they know how to retain their clients. I felt like a valued client from start to finish. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough, or any of the Champion locations, for that matter. If you're in need of a haircut, a perm, or what have you: Champion's Barber and Beauty Academy is THE place to go to in Waco.

I have been going to the Institute of Cosmetology, Esthetics & Massage for years for facials,…read morenails and massage and have generally had very positive experiences, which makes this situation especially disappointing. During my last massage appointment in March, the student assigned to me mentioned being exhausted and dealing with a death in the family. I sympathized with her situation, but unfortunately the massage itself involved very little pressure and did not help relieve the tension in my back muscles. When I requested deeper tissue work, she brought out a massage gadget instead of using her hands. I specifically requested a traditional hand massage without gadgets or elbows, but the session still did not feel therapeutic or effective. One concern I have is that the school requires clients to complete feedback forms directly in front of the student, which discourages honest feedback and makes clients uncomfortable expressing concerns openly. After the appointment, I politely informed the front desk that I did not feel I had received much of a massage. I was told someone would contact me. Instead, the only follow-up I received was a call canceling my next appointment, which had been scheduled with a different student. I called back twice afterward and received no response. Today, when I finally spoke with the owner, I was shocked by how condescending and dismissive the conversation became. Instead of listening, she talked over me and lectured me as if I were one of her students, or even worse, a misbehaving child. Rather than listening to a long-time client or offering a simple courtesy massage or any kind of gesture to resolve the issue, she spoke to me in a belittling and reprimanding manner. She even stated that I should be able to afford a $120 massage elsewhere and told me not to return for services. Insult upon insult. Don't ass-u-me a client is "poor" if he or she comes to your school. Without clients, your students could not complete their training. I get regular massages from my massage therapist of 15 years every other week. I came to your school because she is usually overbooked. At no point was I angry or disrespectful. I simply provided honest feedback after years of supporting the business. The experience left me feeling humiliated by a place that is supposed to help people feel relaxed, cared for, and valued. I feel offended and demoralized. There are many schools and businesses that welcome constructive feedback professionally and treat loyal clients with kindness and respect. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect those values. Notice how the owner was quick to reiterate that this is a school, yes, I know. Raising your voice, talking over me and demeaning me solidified this fact in concrete. This school is also regulated. As a German, I return to Europe every summer. It seems a trip to visit a dear friend in Zurich is long overdue. Maybe CIDESCO can clarify this incident.
