She usually gets her hair washed and blown dry. She has also had other procedures as well. She knows most of the people that work there and has great relationships with them. *I have been there a few times and have always been satisfied. *Recently I had a Facial and a Back Facial (F & BF) with Terri Borough. 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 explained to me beforehand what she would be doing and in what order. I find it helpful to know what is going on. Her touch and technique were superb. She also recommended a few products for my face & skin. I will definitely book Terri again, soon. I highly recommend Terri.

The hands on learning, and daily practice alongside my classmates and teachers have definitely helped me learn and excel at the basics, while touching on trending nail designs with guest teachers and special nail art classes throughout the course. I highly recommend this school to anyone interested in entering the world of beauty. This is a great stepping stone, and excellent preparation for the state board exam. A plus is that we get Apres Gel-X certified while enrolled in the class, as this school is partnered with Apres. A1 beauty school

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.

So I go to school at KC Beauty Academy and we had Melissa visit us today. First of all, she speaks…read moreto students like they don't know what they're doing and it was incredibly condescending and inappropriate. You're speaking to grown adults, please treat us like that. We are not children you can speak down to. SECONDLY! She kicked a student out after asking her a question that the student didn't agree with her on. This student didn't challenge her knowledge, didn't disrespect her, but she was confused with the answer she was given because after years of experience it contradicted what she's been told. So this student took the time to look up the information and so Melissa kicked her out of the demo. If you challenge this women she will disrupt the demo and kick you out. I've never met anyone in the professional industry with such a power trip. Awful , awful experience. I am appalled that this women would express her power in such an inappropriate way. Learn and do better, Melissa.

I mean, that's a good deal, worst case it's just hair, I'm a cheap date - let's go! :) In both instances they were professional and both times I was beyond pleased with their work! The place is chill, just a bunch of people learning the trade and happy to talk about their experiences. $5 to the shop, $10 for tip, and I'm getting as good of a cut as I would elsewhere for less than half the cost, plus I'm helping someone out! I love it when everyone wins, and I'll certainly be back again soon! :)

To Preston's response…read more There was ABSOLUTELY NO MISUNDERSTANDING. Sherry and Jume told my daughter EXACTLY the same thing it's an advanced class and she would have to pay EXTRA! Regardless of my daughter having her license, she was poorly taught, she would have to ask the teachers to be taught, myself, my husband and my daughter had to go in to talk to Sherry about her not being taught and Jume was a part of the conversation. Her teaching lasted 2 WEEKS! Then the teachers got lazy again and she would have to ASK to be taught. Her getting her license has nothing to do with the school but everything to do with me teaching her! Your comment really upset me, I get you're trying so hard to keep your Integrity, but it doesn't negate the fact that the teachers are lazy!

Super hostile with an overbearing 'teacher'…read more I had a scheduled facial here but left before the service started and did not proceed with the appointment. The intake process felt disorganized and unclear. There were multiple staff involved (including a supervising instructor and a student and others), but communication was indirect and not clearly explained at the start. I was asked for basic information through multiple people instead of being addressed directly, which made the check-in feel awkward and unstructured. None of this was communicated before hand. Facials are quite direct and a comfortable experience for a client. The environment felt uncoordinated and not what I expected based on the booking and messaging beforehand, so I chose to leave and forfeit the deposit.
