I've been going to pricey salons for years but was in town and needed color and a cut so thought…read moreI'd give them a try. Neither of these went well and I will NOT be back. I actually have to schedule an appointment with my salon at home to fix everything. Color - An instructor consulted on this and gave instructions different than what the student wanted to do. Turns out that the instructor was wrong. When my hair was dried she came back and said "oh, this looks nice". Really? I had blotches all over my head. Cut - I asked for a cut to bring my longest length up to the shortest layer - get rid of the layers. I was told that I didn't have any layers and they proceeded to trim it. When I redid my hair myself, the layers are 1"-2" shorter than the length of my haircut. Very obvious layers. The student was very nice, but the experience was money wasted 100%. I still have to pay for a color and cut fix and hope they can squeeze me in quickly.

Came in for a trim, Told stylist I have wavy hair. She blow dried it straight, did no sectioning,…read morebrushed it all to the back and cut it dry straight across. She cut maybe an inch and then said with another half inch she could make it all even. I told her multiple times it was uneven, she brushed me off and got the educator who had me look down and cut more than I wanted. At no point was there any checking for even ness or any blending done. Immediately after leaving I noticed the back is shorter than the front and there is unevenness all throughout. It looks like I took kitchen scissors to it. When I braid it the ends look absolutely awful. I've come here multiple times and the educator usually checks more throughly than what I got. I'm very upset I grew my hair out for over a year for this to happen over a trim. Now I have to wait until they open during the week to call and I'm worried it will only get shorter

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

There were never enough dogs to go around, the class size was way above what they said it was limited to, and I wasn't taught several things my current employer is stunned by.

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!
