I had one of the most unprofessional experiences of my life at this school -- specifically due to…read moreNancy Lopez. I scheduled an appointment to get my hair braided. I arranged childcare and missed work for this appointment. When I arrived, the front desk staff (not the person who booked me) realized there had been no communication about needing to wash and blow-dry my hair before braiding. I explained that Nancy had never informed me of this, and thankfully the front desk kindly honored the original quoted price. After my hair was washed and blow-dried by Christina, we were about to start braiding when Nancy stormed in and abruptly demanded that the service stop until I paid extra for the wash and blow dry. She was loud, rude, and dismissive -- even putting her hand in my face when I tried to explain the miscommunication. She told me not to speak because she was "talking to her student, not me." She then touched my hair and began making discriminatory comments about its length and thickness, saying that it would "cost more" but refusing to give me an exact price. Instead of resolving the issue, she escalated it, argued, and ultimately instructed the student to stop the service entirely. When I asked for her supervisor, she claimed she was the boss and the supervisor, blocking any accountability -- until I insisted and was finally able to speak to the actual administrator, who was kind and understanding. This unnecessary conflict wasted 25 minutes of my appointment, leaving the students pressed for time and forcing my service to be cut down to 2 braids instead of the 4 I had booked. I want to be clear: the students and instructors were professional, kind, and compassionate throughout this. The only problem was Nancy Lopez. Her behavior was unprofessional, hostile, and completely unacceptable in an educational or customer-facing environment. I will be reporting her to the board for her conduct. If you book services here, please know the students are talented and respectful, but the administration -- at least under Nancy Lopez -- is another story.

I mean looks the same as the $160 pedicure I get somewhere else. Go Jasmine. I also got to see and cheer for 3 students graduating while I was there. They get to walk and ring a bell, and all of their family and friends were there with balloons and flowers. Really exciting. Back to the pedicure, Jasmine was extremely detailed oriented and kept checking to see how the water temperature and how I was doing overall. Bebe would consistently come over to check on the process of give any necessary tips. You can tell Jasmine felt really comfortable with BeBe because if she has a question she'd ask. She really only had one question, and it was during the gel removal process from my previous gel pedicure. Overall, I got a gel pedicure with gel removal, callus remover, and paraffin wax for like $28. Don't not come here, if you are going to have an attitude or be rude/impatient. The services may take longer because they are students that are learning. Be kind, encouraging, and relax. :). There is no option to tip as the front desk (you pay before services); so, I would highly encourage you to bring cash and tip. Unfortunately, I did not know this detail and was not able to tip Jasmine for her great service.

Tomé un curso de faciales de tres días en Koketa Beauty "Academy" con mucha ilusión y altas…read moreexpectativas, pero lamentablemente mi experiencia --y la de todo mi grupo-- fue muy decepcionante. Quiero empezar diciendo algo importante: la maestra Meli en ningún momento fue grosera, ni levantó la voz, ni tuvo una mala actitud personal. El problema no fue su carácter. El problema fue la falta de organización, preparación, respeto por el tiempo de los alumnos y la muy baja calidad de la enseñanza para lo que este curso cuesta. Durante los tres días se perdió muchísimo tiempo. No se comenzaba puntual, no estaban listos al iniciar, y gran parte del día se iba en tiempos muertos, pláticas irrelevantes y desorganización. Cuando uno paga por capacitación, espera aprovechar cada minuto aprendiendo, no esperando. El contenido fue muy básico y, sinceramente, insuficiente. Nos faltaron muchísimas cosas por aprender. Sentimos que básicamente pagamos por un certificado, no por una preparación real para salir y aplicar tratamientos con seguridad y conocimiento. Lo que más me pareció incorrecto fue lo que ocurrió el tercer día. Muy temprano, antes de terminar el curso y cuando todavía faltaba muchísimo por ver, nos hicieron pasar a tomarnos la foto de "graduación" y a grabar un mensaje hablando sobre nuestra experiencia. En ese momento todavía no habíamos terminado el día, ni habíamos visto todo el contenido pendiente. Se sintió como si quisieran obtener testimonios positivos antes de que nos diéramos cuenta de todo lo que realmente faltaba por aprender. Yo para nada me siento orgullosa de los certificados que compre. Eso fue lo que más me hizo sentir que se estaban aprovechando de nosotros. No fui la única que se sintió así. Todo mi grupo compartió la misma opinión y la misma frustración al final del curso. Este curso no es barato, y por esa razón me siento con la responsabilidad de escribir esta reseña: para que otras personas no inviertan su dinero pensando que saldrán realmente capacitadas, cuando la realidad es que la preparación es muy deficiente. Ojalá esta academia mejore su organización, respete el tiempo de sus alumnos y eleve la calidad del contenido que ofrece, porque actualmente no está a la altura de lo que cobra. Ahorren un poco mas e inviertan en una academia mil veces mejor, yo por ahorrarme unos dólares me fue mal. No lo recomiendo. (La foto adjuntada nos dejaron esperando después del lunch, ya habían pasado como 40 minutos extra)
