I was so impressed at the amount of personal attention Veronica dedicated to my daughter to help her through this program - I guarantee that would not have happened elsewhere. My daughter went into the program with a low learning self-esteem and ended up with an A- average! This was a direct result of Veronica caring about her students success as individuals. Veronica is a veteran in the industry and has a personal relationship with the state board, so understands exactly what it is needed to move a student through to their profession. The school itself is clean and looks just like a salon! I'm not sure where the person below go that it is in a rough neighborhood, because it is not at all. It is located on a busy street, however parking is directly in front of the front door and every time I have either been to the school or driven by I have never once seen homeless or shady-looking people. Make this your choice and you will not be disappointed!

I wanted to leave an honest review. The short version is that, for the price, I'm very happy with…read morethe results. That said, I do have a few pieces of constructive feedback. The biggest surprise was the amount of time the appointment took. I was there from 9:15 a.m. until 4:45 p.m. (about 7.5 hours) for highlights and a haircut with no warning. I wasn't given a heads-up that it would take that long, and I had expected to be there only a few hours. Knowing that in advance would have helped me plan my day. Lauren did a great job paying attention to detail, asking for guidance when she needed it, and learning from her instructors throughout the process. She also checked in regularly to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. My only suggestion for Lauren would be to communicate a little more clearly about what she's experienced with and what she's still building confidence in. She has a great attitude, is receptive to feedback, and I can tell she'll continue to improve with experience. If you're coming to a student salon, it's important to remember that you're working with students who are still learning, not seasoned professionals. Because of that, appointments may take much longer than they would at a traditional salon and the student may be practicing skills they've only done a few times. Overall, I feel the quality of the service matched the price, and I'm happy with what I received.

This school seems to be a hit or miss situation. I've had neighbors who report mixed experiences,…read moremostly the complaints are service / attitude related with about half of them My experience was a miss. Service was to be high and low lights, mostly at the back of head . The student and teacher decided that they would only do highlights, which I caught part of the way into the service. (She kept my chair turned away from her rolling tray so I could not see the single bowl - should have been two colors). During the service, the student stated that she hated working with chemicals and hair, but needed to finish this section in order to graduate. Her focus was on skin; she intended to be an esthetician. My harshest criticism is directed at the male teacher. His demeanor was imperious and haughty. He was not available and non-responsive for checks as the chemical processed. At one point I had to get up to find both the student and teacher to ask for the chemical to be removed as I sensed it was over processing. I waited another ten minutes and decided to rinse this stuff out myself. They were taking a break as I walked by to the rinse room and the student followed me in to help. I was charged for the conditioners and other products they needed to put in my hair to repair the damage. I've put three family members though beauty colleges and been a color model at hair shows. I like to support the colleges and help student with the learning process. They were no able to take a cash payment, nor would they accept a check, which was not disclosed on their website. The check out student stated that personal checks signaled fraud. (I'm no thief or fraudster!) I did leave a $50 tip to the student with the check out student with the admonishment: "Please let her know to follow her heart in skincare and stay far away from hair services." A fish rots from the head IMO. This student had developed an attitude that was not customer centric, likely due to the influences of the teachers and management developing a toxic customer experience. She knew my hair was severely damaged but did not acknowledge or apologize. If she fails when she is on her own, it will be up to her to readjust the bad attitudes this school taught her. How could I hold her responsible for the bad acts of her teacher / influencers? The culture and experience at Aveda Institute is not a match for people who really know the service industry in my opinion.

Estheticians -- do NOT go here for schooling…read more This program was incredibly disappointing and felt like a complete waste of money. There was little to no instruction, minimal hands-on practice, and the teachers consistently did the bare minimum. We were expected to sit there for 7 1/2 hours a day with very little actual teaching or guidance. Students weren't even allowed to practice on each other unless services were paid for, despite already purchasing products in our student kits. The entire program felt disorganized, unprofessional, and run with a high-school mentality rather than a serious educational environment. I honestly feel scammed and misled about what this program would provide. The curriculum lacked structure, effort, and support, and it often felt like teaching students was an inconvenience to the staff. We practically had to beg to learn anything. I would strongly recommend looking into other esthetician programs before investing your time and money here.

My son had started to play the guitar just 6 months earlier and really wanted to be part of a band. His guitar skills improved greatly and expanded his interest into bass guitar and into drums. The 1:1 lessons were fantastic. Their summer camp became a launching pad to get into a band. Since then, he has taken up song writing and now plays different instruments in the band depending on the song or the talent need. They have even performed some of their original songs! Without LMS and the nurturing they provided for our young musician, I don't know if he would have gained the confidence and developed the passion he now uses to thrive. Thank you Dillon, Stephan and the LMS team!

No structure, no technical training as we would expect. The teacher wanted her to do a recital and the teacher would play the background music. My daughter was nervous but we built up the courage to do it. After weeks of practicing we all got dressed up and went today. Upon arrival my daughter was told her teacher did not come and she would have no support or background music. My daughter bravely stood up in front of the crowd and sang the song with complete silence / no music, which was quite heartbreaking to watch, than preceded to cry the whole way home embarrassed. To top it off she was not offered the pin that all the other teachers gave there students. I can't recommend this school.
