They entered this program to get them ready for their field of practice. That being said, they make do with what they've been taught, what they have, and still do a great job. They're in the school's lab all day a few days out of the week, super early in the morning and out pretty late in the day. Furthermore, the cost of what you so called clients are paying for these services are a very very small fraction of what you'd be paying for a professional service. You either have to know that when you agree to come in, or you're completely tone deaf. For any of you entitled assholes being rude to these students, talking down to them, or coming in with this expectation that they should bow down to you - fvck all the way off and take your nasty, smelly, funky ass somewhere else. You should be ASHAMED of yourselves coming into a place like this with your crap ego. No amount of work will fix the ugly person you are inside. These students and teachers work their asses off and deserve respect.

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

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.

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.

The person servicing my feet used the drill bit so long that she really thinned out my nails & caused injury & intolerable pain, I almost asked her to leave those toes blank. But I also didn't want to leave with an incomplete service or take away her learning opportunity. It was extremely hard to communicate with them because of the language barrier, it was helpful when the teachers would come over & guide & also be a translator when these issues arose. The vibe overall was fine, the seating where we were guided was pretty uncomfortable set up wise, I felt like I was bending like a pretzel and was very unstable. My manicure came with my gel stuck to my fingers and lots of cuts, bubbles in my nails, and even hair. The sanitization wasn't the best either, tools were continually dropped and continued to be used. I also noticed dirty gloves on clean surfaces. I'd come back to try other things but I'm a bit unsettled by my nails experience. I also came aware that I would be getting services by students, so I completely understand the learning curves. I think the teachers could've stepped in more and supported, guided, corrected, and maybe even shown or done the procedure partially to give more guidance.

Instructor Thao of the facial department provided exceptionally nice and professional service with…read moregenuine compassion. She kept my mom, who is legally blind, comfortable throughout the facial session with much compassion. I much appreciated that. I briefly told her that my mom is legally blind, and she might be a bit scared (due to the new unfamiliar environment of home and that my facial bed is on the other end of the wall from her, with another customer in between us). Just a brief exchange and instructor Thao knows exactly how to provide comfort. Excellent attention to detail, she definitely came to work with a warm heart. I hope everyone in every industry, in any working position, high or low, possesses such care and professionalism as her. She made me and my mother feel very comfortable. Thank you! Instructor Hoang was also a genuinely caring person with a good work ethic. Her focus was to provide sincere care for every customer. I do see that in the conversation and service she provided. She is right, once any person accepts any working position, is to do their best at their duties, providing care through their work. I do believe it is such a mentality that customers can be in good hands. Great mindset! The manicurist that did my mom's manicure was patient. The pedicurist was nice and knowledgeable about her work. When I called, Lupa provided clear information and was welcoming. The instructor that came to explain the pedicure situation was also pleasant to talk to. Pros: 1. Their prices are fair. 2. Overall service is above average. There are cons to this business regarding payment and receipt: 1. The credit card processing fees are responsible to the business owners, not the customers. But this business is passing that fee to the customers. 2. Credit card processing fees average 1.5% - 3.5% per swipe. But this business is charging 30%. 3. Credit card processing fees apply, but the customer wasn't advised of such a charge. I didn't know until I checked the receipt. 4. The receipt wasn't clear how a regular manicure was added, but then a separate charge of gel polish was added on. Briefly looking at it, I thought I got charged with 2 manicures, one for a regular and the other was for gel. I paid for a gel manicure, but somehow forgot and asked for a regular polish for my mom. They gave a credit for the price of the gel polish on our next visit, which is fair. But, maybe keep it simple by labeling it as one service; gel manicure. Making it 2 services of regular manicure and gel polish is a little complicated. I would say they average out about a 4. But instructor Thao left me a very good impression. Let's raise it to a 5.
