I had a terrible experience even before I could officially become a client. I am a bride who was…read morereaching out for potential services for hair and makeup and after over a week of constantly emailing back and forth (photos of myself and inspiration photos that they asked for) I was told to look elsewhere for services without any context. When I finally called to understand why after all this time spent emailing I wasn't given an opportunity to be matched with a stylist they told me that based on my inspiration photos they couldn't help me. My photos were of fairly normal makeup and hair that was just styled down with big curls. No phone call, no explanation. Must make it easier for you when you get to discriminate based on who you'd prefer to help.

Not only that, but the director of the school Salpie is very hands on more than just makeup. We learn everything from sanitation, application and even set etiquette & personal advice that help you reach your goals that much faster. I personally graduated in 2013 and the educational experience I have had in association with this school is fantastic and never ending... Salpie ensures your understanding of the curriculum before graduation and helps you surpass any obstacles even after attendance. You get a fantastic brand new starter kit, and once you've gone through all that makeup (which takes a while even working everyday) the school helps you restock your kit at discounted prices until you, yourself have that ability as a working professional Makeup Artist. Overall, an amazing experience and I continue to get hands on education working with Salpie today. I have done several movie and commercial she sends you on. As well as assisting her on set, giving you real time experience of what it's like to become a professional certified MUA. I believe the certification is a necessary component to becoming a makeup artist because there is an industry standard and Salpie helps you hit all the criteria to set you up for the success YOU desire. I highly recommend this school to anyone wanting a serious career as a Makeup Artist.

I came for a blowout, and right off the bat, it was evident that the trainee was not experienced with blowouts on long hair. However, I had no issues with the trainee itself. The trainer would come here and there to give some pointers, but after the wash and comb through, the trainee spent several minutes on one small section of hair while we were almost an hour into the appointment. While the trainer was there, I politely asked if it would be possible to complete the blowout in 30 minutes, as I had to be somewhere. This was on me because I have longer-than-average hair, and I should have double-checked while making the appointment. I was told that it would take about an hour when I made the appointment. The trainer got super defensive and stated that I was asking for too much, and this would technically be an $80+ blow out (my blowouts at traditional salons have never been $80+). I was surprised as to why he was so offended when I only politely asked and even offered to come back at a later time, as they close at 3 pm. Nonetheless, my event was postponed, and I was able to stay for longer, but the trainer ended up doing the blowout while the student watched. What I don't understand is why the students are made to do the service independently when they do not have much experience. The trainee was very sweet, and I understand that they were trying their best. It was overall a strange experience, and I don't think I will go back again. The results were just okay, and the curls did not last through the day.
