I usually always have the students do my nails or eyebrows or whatever else it is I need. One, because I like to save money where I can, and two, because it's a cool experience to start with a student when they are learning and to be with them as they get better. As always, expect for the students to take longer and plan of spending more time there, but remember, you get what you pay for! Also, be sure to speak up about what you like or don't like but be kind. It will help you get what you want but it will also help the students. Overall, I enjoy the experience and the staff and the prices. You can also always opt to have a professional do your services instead as well (obviously for a higher price). I love the place and definitely recommend going if you are like minded!

I didn't just graduate from Northwest College of Beauty--I survived it…read more Between two campuses under the same company, I experienced instructors who consistently singled me out, belittled me, and broke down my confidence instead of teaching me. I was pulled into an office and told I did nails "like a 10-year-old" after a service my client was happy with. That moment alone killed my passion for nails. Mistakes weren't treated as learning opportunities--they were punished harshly and publicly. At another campus, the same pattern continued with favoritism and instructors who made multiple students feel small and unsupported. On top of that, the administration was completely disorganized. I was given conflicting graduation dates for weeks and wasn't told I owed $7,000 until the day I graduated. This wasn't a supportive learning environment--it was discouraging, unprofessional, and emotionally damaging. If you go here, be prepared to teach yourself and protect your confidence, because the school won't do it for you.

My daughter just finished the course for nails and esthetics and let me tell you...what a waste of…read moretime and money! There is definitely a lot of discrimination going on there, especially with the dress code. The nail curriculum is so outdated they are not even teaching them how nails are being done in the salons right now, these students are set up for failure right from the beginnin. This school is charging so much for a kit that unfortunately they pry won't ever use. The school itself is ghetto along with all their product! With all the money these students pay each month you would think the school would at least use new towels on clients but no they are all stained up and gross looking. They want the money so bad that they will allow people sick with highly contagious diseases to still attend and risk getting other students and clients sick. We were very disappointed in the whole process! One of your educators at the Springfield location (Miss Angie) should NOT be teaching and if you don't believe me go there and actually ask the students about the crap she pulls. If you are considering this school PLEASE DONT! You will be disappointed! Oh and when you have a concern and leave a message for the campus manage, they won't get back to you, they don't care! Just keep making those payment!

I have been here twice. The first time was with a level 4 stylist ($14) They have 4 levels based on…read moreexperience. She was fairly fast and capable. She graduated/left, so i decided to try a level 1 (only $8!) this time to see the difference. Her name was Hayley, and she was very nice. The main difference with level 1 to 4 i would say is .... time. This time took a good 15 to 20 minutes longer on my second visit, and the master stylist had to come over 3-4 times to check on my cut (which makes sense with a less experienced student). That's fine, and i don't mind since i had time, as long as the cut turns out the way i want it (which it did). Long story short, if you're in a hurry, level 4, if not, level 1. The only reason i did not give 5 stars was the music. They were playing this god awful whiny country music, and it was killing my experience. I would recommend they keep it more modern, including, but not limited to: House, down tempo, acid jazz, ambient, you know, something you would here in a trendy cafe or venue maybe? Keep it upbeat and modern. Remember... its what the customer wants that matters! Maybe you like country, but a lot of people don't (including me, yuck!). P.S. Matthew (part owner) was there and personally had the music changed for me after he was finished doing some finishing touches on my hair. *applause* P.S.S. This place is also a lot cleaner/more modern looking than the Phagan's off Lancaster. That place was like high school with ash trays...

I went to this school three times now for services. First two times were wonderful. This last time…read moreI went I was there for six hours for a mini partial highlight and a haircut, there were so many questionable things that happened. One of which was the student bleached my hair and left three inches or more of roots? Then, didn't apply the toner when I asked about it at the wash bowl, took me back to her chair and combed my untoned hair for 30 minutes with a fine tooth comb. Then, took me back to the bowl to tone and re-comb my hair. It was just weird and unlike anything I've experienced. I understand they're learning here, but the fact an instructor wasn't concerned I was there for so long was sooo alarming. I stayed an hour past close while all the students and instructors run out of the building. I would've been understanding if my hair turned out what I was kinda expecting, but my roots are still really dark and it's not blended well. It's mind blowing they didn't wonder what this girl was doing for six hours. I tried calling to have a teacher call me back and no one has called. Apparently I have to go back in and have it evaluated. I would just stay away if this is how they're gonna treat clients. School or not, don't make people struggle on their own or wait six hours for a service.

What was impressive to me was the fact they told me I didn't need another treatment and said any additional treatments may cause an undesired outcome.

I was able to easily schedule an appointment online for an Experience facial. You can choose who you'd like to with based on level or let them choose for you. I didn't have a preference so I was instantly paired with Valeria. The moment I walked in the salon, I was greeted and assisted in checking in. I had asked if it was possible to add a brow wax, which they were able to add on for me. Valeria greeted me about 15 minutes before my scheduled appointment, shook my hand and introduced herself. I was able to fill out a paper based on my needs or concerns. She then took me back to the massage/facial room. It was quiet and peaceful with relaxation music. She gave me a robe to change into and a bin to place my personal items. She even offered a pillow for my back and legs to get comfortable while she began setting up. The facial experience was incredibly relaxing and soothing. I nearly fell asleep. She took her time to go through each step, even massaging my shoulders and head. The only thing I would change would be to change gloves so when massaging through the hair and head, you aren't walking out with super greasy strands of hair. I had just washed my hair the day before and it was loaded with moisturizer and very greasy post facial. Other than that, perfection! Post facial I was taken out into the main salon to have my brows waxed. The man working the front desk when I checked in came to ask me about my facial and chatted with me for a few minutes. He was incredibly nice and great to chat with. Valeria touched up my brows, while ensuring she was being gentle. It didn't hurt at all and she did a great job touching up my unruly hairs. I had a great experience at the Summit Salon Accademy and I look forward to trying out other salon experiences, including taking my daughter for her first mani/pedi. I highly recommend checking them out as the prices are amazing and the students and teachers are incredibly friendly and welcoming.
