    I came in for my very first haircut and eyebrow waxing. My hair is limp and havent been styled in a long time. Tony did such a good job with my hair. I love it and I'm definitely sticking with him! He styled it, gave it volume. And it would be minimal maintenance for me. I told him I was a wash and go kinda girl. And the way he styled it is perfect! My eyebrow shape is nice as well. Quick and easy. Yea Im sticking to IM Beauty. Definitely try them out!

    I LOVED my entire experience at IM Beauty School. My sister told me about Tony and Isabella after letting her know I needed a glow up. We quickly made an appointment with Tony. He was able to work with my thick, coarse hair and gave me exactly what I wanted based off of my inspiration photos and my budget. He truly is a master stylist not only in the way he was able to lift my hair from my natural black to an ashy blonde, but to the way he blended my butterfly layers, fixed my DIY bangs, and took the heavy load off my shoulders by magically thinning to create more flow and lightness to my style. While I waited for my hair to "cook," the staff there was incredibly kind and accommodating offering a water, coffee, and even snacks while I waited. I HIGHLY recommend them for any beauty needs and also for schooling! I saw Tony in action training a student and they were patient with them and always explaining in depth the process and the why. The salon was clean, the staff was knowledgeable and professional. I felt welcomed and comfortable as soon as I stepped in. I was incredibly impressed with it all and obviously LOVE my glow-up! Thanks Tony, Isabella, and Kay!

    Such an amazing facility that offers a wide array of services as well as schools/ learning options. I want to see this business do well, as the employees and owner are such sweet people. You can tell everyone is skilled and passionate! They offer many different certificates and licensing opportunities and classes. Very clean and cute school, I came here for an event and I see myself coming back for different services! I had a facial, which was succhhh a treat! I came right after a long work day and I was so relaxed I fell asleep for part of the facial!! The facials massage and neck massage are my favorite, it was an hour of pampering. Highly highly recommend giving them a try! Can't wait to be back for my next service.

    I got a gel change (removing my old gel polish and getting new gel polish). I absolutely loved the results and it was $25 which is a great price! Esther did my nails, and she was really nice. I'm definitely coming back!

    How much do you charge for a mens haircut?

    If you are scheduling a men's haircut with a student, we charge $15. However, if you are looking for a professional service, Tony charges $60, and those appointments must be made after 3:30PM or on Saturdays.

    Hate to write this. Been coming for YEARS. But now two bad experiences…read more 1. Went for a keretin. Absolutely did not take (I have had many) Went back for a second one and same thing. They must have not perfected that service yet. OK I ate the cost of that. 2. Had a 1:30 appoitment. Thy sent me TWO confirmations. I show up at 1:30 told it would be a 15 minute wait. Ok. I had taken off a half day of work so that was fine. At 1:50 I am told there is no one here to do the service. After I toll time off! I was offered a "conditioner" next time. I was booked for color. Don't need a conditioner. I said "how about half off color next time" Nope. Can't do that. So I had to leave. I know it is a school but I had an APPOINTMENT--please CALL next time before I head over and miss work and certainly don't act like it is my problem and I should accept the gift of a servie I do not want or need. Unacceptable

    I just got my hair cut yesterday, and I'm super happy with it!…read more The last time I was here it was not called John Amico School, so it has been a while. It looks so much nicer inside than last time I was there! It doesn't feel as outdated anymore. My hair is very long so I couldn't sit in the chair for my cut, and Cayla did an awesome job! She was thorough and l left with shiny, healthier looking hair :) They have little QR codes posted around the stations, but I forgot to scan it before I left, so I wanted to make sure to leave a review here! Thanks for the haircut Cayla, my hair looks SO much healthier now!

    My daughter had been begging to get her hair dyed purple / pink. I agreed to let her do peek-a-boo…read morehighlights. I brought her to Tricoci in Libertyville to see Kate Cluster. I 1000% recommend her! Truly could not recommend her enough. Not only did she consult me about my daughter's hair, but she got down on my daughter's level and made sure the colors were exactly what she wanted, asked about the placement and was incredibly patient. Kate gave my daughter as many breaks as needed, made her laugh and even put a movie on the iPad for her (after asking me if it was okay). She went above and beyond, was professional, courteous, and kind. My daughter is beyond obsessed with her hair and has received a ton of compliments. I can't recommend Kate enough!

After a thorough consultation, the shampooing, rod rolling & process began. Because this is a place of learning & teaching I knew it would take a few hours.

    I recently went to Empire Beauty School for hair highlights and unfortunately had a disappointing…read moreexperience. I don't know much about hair coloring or highlights, so I explained the look I wanted and even showed a Pinterest picture for reference. My appointment was at 9:30 AM, but the consultation and color mixing alone took about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The first highlight wasn't even applied until almost the second hour of my appointment. When the highlights were finally done, they turned out extremely light -- almost blonde -- which was shocking because that's not what I asked for. The instructor had to step in and help correct and even out the color. This is also not my first unpleasant experience with one particular Latina instructor with dark hair. Both times I've been there, she has been very rude and rough while handling my hair. Her long nails scratched my forehead multiple times, and she pulled and grabbed my hair very aggressively. When I politely asked her to be more gentle, her response was, "I'm just trying to make it fast." To be fair, the final results didn't turn out bad after they corrected the color, but I didn't leave until 4 PM for a 9:30 appointment. I've previously been to Tricoci University, and they were much friendlier, more professional, and much quicker with their services. I wanted to give Empire another chance, but the instructor's attitude and behavior made the entire experience stressful and uncomfortable. Sadly, I won't be going back.

    WORST. Staff was so RUDE. I am not even talking students they are ok. So as of right now…read morebooking an appointment is awful. You have to talk to a zillion people to get on the schedule. There is no main book at the. Desk or computer. They are booked out for two months to do facials. And can't promise anything. They need to be available for the student but can't tell you when they can do or able to book on what days. They definitely need some system. Inside 5 people who want to help kids get through and can't book anything. I want mens and women's. Hair, nails ,mani ,pedi ,facial , waxing, and they can't even help with schedules. I have been to several schools in the past and this by far is the most un organized one. I have cold called and booked with strangers in the past. Why is this so difficult. They are definitely not where you want to send anyone as a student. I also had a service and they did not ever look or see what they were doing. The teacher also just to it upon her self to do part of the service and not educate as they did it. The staff has very angry attitudes and not friendly at all. They are mean and nasty. I felt like she was bothered by having to talk to me. I was also told no service they have other students to do their work on. So if you plan on going don't. There is a nice one in Crystal lake off of 176 check them out.
