The students were very friendly and interpersonal. One student was too sleepy and teasing my hair and hurt my scalp 3x which was frustrating. But the teacher was careless and had an attitude. Just her technique and watching her go about teaching the students seemed careless and unprofessional to me. I had an allergic reaction the next days and informed the school. THIS SHOULD NOT BE OK! I asked to see their products 3 times and they said they would and end up not showing me the ingredients which is shady to me. This is a careless practice. The female teacher had the audacity to gaslight and make up reasons for why this would occur. Next time, DO BETTER and have COMPASSION, learn from your customers and learn to listen, not to answer back. If that was you, youd be upset I cannot recommend this place.

During my time there, I stepped out of my shell, learned the proper ways of sanitizing, gained confidence within myself, and was fully prepared for my state board test and the next chapter of my journey within esthetics. The Patroness Ms. Maria, with her vibrant purple hue each and every day, brought passion, encouragement, and light into the school. One of the most beautiful things to witness was seeing her light up whenever her students made their dreams become reality through something she built for us to learn within. I will always be grateful for the foundation, knowledge, and encouragement Beyond 21st Century Beauty gave me as I continue growing within this industry, and I know if I ever need advice or guidance along the way, they would be there to assist and support me.

I have had a few F & BF before, but this one was spectacular. Terri Borough did a wonderful job. She is warm, friendly and knows what she is doing.

She also recommended a few products for my face & skin. I will definitely book Terri again, soon. I highly recommend Terri.

I'm so grateful to have found her and have her as a friend. I just want to support her in her cosmetology journey by letting everyone know how great she is! She is patient, really listens, and is able to envision my hair goals in ways better than I can. I can wholeheartedly say I have not been more in love with my hair than in the last year of frequenting CAoB. I always get compliments on my cut and color thanks to Sam, and my hair is the healthiest it's been in years. I must also mention that their prices can't be beat. So don't think twice about walking in or making an appointment ! :)

I had one of the most unprofessional experiences of my life at this school -- specifically due to…read moreNancy Lopez. I scheduled an appointment to get my hair braided. I arranged childcare and missed work for this appointment. When I arrived, the front desk staff (not the person who booked me) realized there had been no communication about needing to wash and blow-dry my hair before braiding. I explained that Nancy had never informed me of this, and thankfully the front desk kindly honored the original quoted price. After my hair was washed and blow-dried by Christina, we were about to start braiding when Nancy stormed in and abruptly demanded that the service stop until I paid extra for the wash and blow dry. She was loud, rude, and dismissive -- even putting her hand in my face when I tried to explain the miscommunication. She told me not to speak because she was "talking to her student, not me." She then touched my hair and began making discriminatory comments about its length and thickness, saying that it would "cost more" but refusing to give me an exact price. Instead of resolving the issue, she escalated it, argued, and ultimately instructed the student to stop the service entirely. When I asked for her supervisor, she claimed she was the boss and the supervisor, blocking any accountability -- until I insisted and was finally able to speak to the actual administrator, who was kind and understanding. This unnecessary conflict wasted 25 minutes of my appointment, leaving the students pressed for time and forcing my service to be cut down to 2 braids instead of the 4 I had booked. I want to be clear: the students and instructors were professional, kind, and compassionate throughout this. The only problem was Nancy Lopez. Her behavior was unprofessional, hostile, and completely unacceptable in an educational or customer-facing environment. I will be reporting her to the board for her conduct. If you book services here, please know the students are talented and respectful, but the administration -- at least under Nancy Lopez -- is another story.
