Kim, Katie and Amy were so very supportive and responsive to my needs throughout the journey. When I initially went into Lavish School, I was very disappointed and ready to give up. I found out that the education I received in another state wasn't going to be enough. Kim lifted me up with her positive attitude and made it seem possible. I walked back out of there with a much lighter heart and hope. I just passed my state boards and am beginning my job search and am very confident that the skills I was taught will carry me far in the beauty industry!!

The staff were kind and did a great job. It was really easy to book an appointment on the phone. Being they are students there are certain blocks of time they have availability. I wish I would have come here for other past services and saved myself some money! Plenty of parking available. When entering the building it's just right upstairs. The teacher popped in once briefly to check on things. It will take a bit longer than normal but with savings at 1/2 off the normal price I've paid I was happy to wait.

The nail tech are in 1 room. There's about 3 pedicure stations and 8 manicure station. They do a variety of services, with gel and regular polish. The techs are still in training, expect to be there for a long time. My manicure and pedicure took over 2.5 hours, which I didn't mind. The techs were so sweet and kept apologizing.

The stage 3 student, Julia, kept repeating how my hair is too thick. Yet, at any other place I have never faced an issue. Even when i'd get much cheaper blowouts at this local salon before I moved here from NYC. On top of this, Julia was extremely rude. I told her it's been more than an hour and she said it'll only take an hour. She looks at me point blank saying, "There's nothing I can do. This is a school." They had to bring in another lady to do the other half of my hair. When I went home, my blowout had been completely undone. I wish to get a refund to be honest. Please, mothers, other girls, do not go here. Just pay the big bucks and go to another place. Julia also kept inappropriately sharing about her personal life with me whilst washing my hair. I felt really discriminatory and racist vibes throughout this whole experience as a melanated POC woman.
