As a transfer student from another local G.B. cosmetology school, coming to Austin Michael…read moreInstitute of Cosmetology was a breath of fresh air and exactly what I needed to finish. From the outset, it was clear that they were deeply invested in my success and personal growth. Thanks to the dedicated staff and inspiring environment, I rediscovered my passion for hair and beauty, which was practically lost due to the toxic environment and staff of my previous school. I learned more in the 3 months attending this school than I did in the entire year at my previous school. Additionally, I was able to learn facials here, which has inspired me to add that service to my repertoire. The teachers are very encouraging and passionate about their work, doubling as my mentors. Their approachability was evident in their willingness to go above and beyond for their students. I transferred into this school stressed and depressed from my previous school's toxic staff and environment, simply wanting to complete my 1500 hours. However, as I finished up my last few days at AMIC, I felt sad and didn't want to leave. I am thrilled to watch this institute grow, knowing that the students there will love it and become excited about their beauty careers. The owner, Nichole, is amazing and genuinely cares. Even after graduating, she continues to provide continuous support on my career journey. This place will forever hold a special place in my heart!

From the owner: Enter to learn, leave to achieve. We are a beauty school offering Cosmetology and Esthetician…read moreprograms to students. We also offer discounted salon and spa services to the public performed by students under the supervision of licensed instructors.

I went here on a whim a couple months ago because I always liked the concept of helping students…read moreget practice and its cheap lol. The girls at the front desk weren't the nicest but its okay because the nail tech I got was sooo sweet! I would put her name on here but she graduated a week after she did my nails so theres no point. But she did a great job on my fill in and I felt comfortable with her (which is rare because usually I feel like I can't fully relax getting my nails done for some reason). Its important to note that this is a school so you HAVE to have patience!! If you are the type that would die having to sit two hours to get your nails done, this isnt the place for you. Also, the ventilation is horrible and all nails are done downstairs in a dungeon lmaoo. I saw a girl get a pedicure done & they used a big bowl to soak her feet & had her sitting in one of those fold out chairs. I almost got a pedicure and was like nope because I want to be comfortable and able to relax!! Overall I would rate this place a 8/10 and I want to try getting my hair done here next so ill update this review if I do!

I came here after going to another beauty school in Waterford. This was a big difference. I needed…read moreto fix a botched attempt at coloring my own hair. This school was professional and they had everything you need for an inexpensive self care day!

For reference, I have thick, fine 4A-3C type hair and asked for a flat iron / wash / cut…read more Front desk people and academic advisors were kind and professional, and I asked if they were able to do 4 type hair. She answered yes enthusiastically. I get there at my appointment, my stylist was going to dry cut my hair (4 type) without washing or styling first, which isn't what you would do with 4 type curls. During the wash, she did not use specific shampoos/conditioners according to my hair or scalp health, she just saw my hair was coily and used a "thermal helper" shampoo, and she didn't even wash my scalp. I ran a finger over it after it was wet with left a residue of gunk. Scalp was still dirty! She attempted to blow dry my hair, which took 2 hours and 40 minutes just to look like my hair was air dried. I was furious. She then asked a second stylist to help straighten my hair and the final result was MY AT HOME blow dried look. Her boss cut my hair and i was charged almost 40 dollars. The next day, complete fuzzball. My hair reverted within a day and it's an itchy mess. Furious. You would think students learn to do HAIR, not just straight hair! Felt like such a laughing stock

Went in for a mani/pedi. I know it's a school, but all I needed was a cuticle clean up and regular…read morepolish. Student immediately started with drill around my nail beds. After I requested she not use the drill her performance quickly went down hill. My feet were wet, dried, and polished. My hands were sprayed with a mist of hand sanitizer and polished. Dhe emptied the footpath and started putting things away without washing or sanitation, including drill bit and nail file. I was so eager to get out of there, I smudged my nails.
