They deserve a zero (They let down a student fresh out of high-school, trying to get an education and make a career, for her self) THIS IS THEIR MISSION STATEMENT!! The mission of Nuvani Institute is to respond in a climate of intellectual freedom with quality training programs, and to the educational needs of our multicultural community. Nuvani Institute is committed to excellence in teaching and to flexibility in its programs and institutional approaches as it seeks to guide students toward achievement of their maximum potential. We seek to enable each student to become a self-directed, life-long learner capable of participating in and contributing to their community. They do not uphold to their statement. The type of education going on there is teaching grown woman to bully their way through that school. The only guiding being done is teaching them all, that their peers will not punish bullies. They seek to enable life long, learners to be capable to handle a bully. If your looking to attend a professional school with high standards, this one is not the one. Stay away, save yourself the headache and anxiety of dealing with these kind of people. read more

More like O!! *** This school tolerates bullying!!!! *** My sister was getting bullied here by someone twice her age and when we brought it to the managements attention thinking this would not be acceptable, (especially since it was an adult student bulling a teen student) The Manager Venus said they were not going to expel her until it got physical. Do not enroll yourself here if you're looking for a nice, healthy, and clean environment to learn. read more

I do not recommend Nuvani schooling for cosmetology. DO NOT enroll yourself! You seriously get what you pay for. The manager Venus and the management is so unprofessional. They allow nonsense to go on there And they are the low end of a beautician school. They allow the students to bully others without being reprimanded. I had to unenroll my daughter because a 35 yr old loser wanted to bully my 18 yr old daughter. Just because she was jealous of her from the first day she saw her. The school is so ghetto and so is everyone that works there. The teachers keep the majority of the tips the students receive at the front while paying. The will give them $5 out of the $25. They also reuse items that are not sanitary to save money. Don't do any business here! read more

I can't to Nuvani for the esthetician program and it was an amazing experience! For starters the tuition is not over priced, they make sure we have the products we need and the staff is super friendly and helpful! I highly recommend this school read more

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. This place is TERRIBLE. I had a nail artist book me 3 separate times because the SCHOOL kept booking over me. Do not go here. They are extremely unprofessional. The owner spent the 5-10 minutes I talked to him, insulting & blaming his students for the miscommunication when in reality it was the owner himself. Horrible horrible place. read more

I have been to the salon area for several hair cuts, there is a student doing the cut with a teacher to instruct, correct or encourage the stylist. I am on a tight budget so fear not my friends go in and try them out. After all Hair does grow back... Lorraine read more

Tip for students who might be considering studying at this school. Very bad management issues are resolved slowly or not at all! I was persjaded to buy a proffesional cosmo kit from them (never buy without looking!!!) it's turned out to be the worse ever, and even for a lot of money, the tools in it turned out to be defective and they did not want to make a refund, and despite the fact that they were obliged to the law. After graduating from this school a month ago, i was only able to sign up for one written test, and there is no access to the second, because the school notes that I'm still studyI guess there. I could already have a license and work, but I can't because of this school, which dones not resolve issues in time and properly. Very upset and regret this choise of mine. read more

If you're looking into nuvani institute for your education, I would recommend exploring all of your options before committing. Instructors seem to be focused on students being able to pass their state boards, but that seems like the whole of it. Lights are out in (already) dim classrooms, not much music (if any at all), clinic one has metal fold out chairs and you do not receive your kit until weeks into your program. It also seems that they are lacking knowledge on up and coming trends. Not as much creativity and passion as I was hoping for. I don't write this review to disrespect the establishment, (the students and instructors are very kind) but, I wish I would have known/ focused on these things before starting. read more

I've always wondered about getting my hair cut at a beauty school, and I've been a bit hesitant about it. A friend kind of pushed me into it, and finally I decided to check this place out. I read some reviews across many different websites, and I've only found things about the school, not the students. There are millions of horrible reviews about the school, it's instructors, the owner, and the lessons. I found a few gems about the students, and all were really great. So I decided to give it a shot. Both times I went in for a trim, and both times the students did a wonderful job. Every time I go to any hair salon, the stylist always cuts it wrong and doesn't listen to me. Not here. They've done exactly what I asked for both times, and they did it in a fair amount of time, without poking me in the scalp with scissors or almost cutting off my ears. The instructor was a little rough and made me weary, it felt like she was going to cut too short, and she's quite stabby with the instruments (admittedly, I have a sensitive scalp). She seems like a nice lady, though, and the students were significantly more gentle. I highly suggest this place if your going in for a trim, even for a full makeover. I am definitely going to come to this place more often, perhaps to get my legs waxed next time. I have yet to see an angry customer in there, all the students seem to work really hard, and do a great job. I am definitely looking forward to my next visit. read more

I'm attending this esthetician program, and I can't believe all the one on one attention I get! Classes are very small, the tuition is extremely affordable, and they start new programs frequently. I personally don't want to spend $20,000 getting a skin care license, I didn't want to wait 4 months and pay to be on some waiting list elsewhere, And I definitely want to know the tips to passing the state board. Like all education, you get out of it what you put into it. Your input and interest is key . I've been here two weeks and I am already feeling that I'm working in a spa. I learn at least 50 new things a day. The schools job is to get you to pass your state board, every school teaches the same curriculum, you should go to the one closest to your home and you'll be more successful. Spending $20,000 on the skin care program is not going to guarantee your success. Your skill and continuing education is what will set you apart.The bad review by Heather was a girl who attended the school for two days, has a shaved head and think she knows how to tell hairdressing professionals how to teach classes? Please read more

The South Austin Nuvani school lacks structure, formal classes, and competent instruction. Students are left unguided to fend for themselves more often than not, and Carla Clay's unapproachable attitude makes learning impossible. Wade Nguyen (owner) is entirely inept as a director. Weeks into starting school, two full-time students discovered Wade failed to submit financial paperwork (installment contract), nearly jeopardizing the students' enrollment. It's not the student's job to motivate admissions or instructors--as happens all too often here. Do yourselves a favor: Do your homework. Look beyond that ornate remodeling job and cheap decoration. What's the instruction like? How professional is the conduct? Most importantly, is anyone learning any valuable trade skills? read more
