The instructors are…read moreknowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed, both in the classroom and with hands-on skills. The environment feels supportive and professional, and I've been able to build confidence as I learn and practice new techniques. Like any school, it requires dedication and self-motivation, but if you're serious about starting a career in the beauty industry, this is a great place to begin. I appreciate the real-world preparation, the opportunity to work with clients, and the foundation it's helping me build for my future in aesthetics.

The place was packed with students and a few customers: it is definitely way too small for that many people, and looks very chaotic and disorganized (and this is the reason for my rating). I was however happy with the service: Rosy (the hairdresser I was assigned to) did a really good job, everybody is friendly, it's nice to see the camaraderie among the students, and the teachers keep going from one student to another to check on their work and/or intervene for more difficult tasks. Prices are similar or cheaper to the ones of Kool Cuts. I will definitely consider them again for my haircuts.

But Miss Caputo, the director was extremely nice and she actually fix my hair the next day and my hair looks amazing now. So they stand by their work. If you're not happy with how your hair turns out, they do work with you. I will definitely return and will recommend them to others . I do wanna give a shout out to Debbie the front desk administrator. She is super awesome and nice and she works a lot of hours because she always answer the phone. I do appreciate how pleasant and accommodating she is overall this is a win-win place to get your hair done. It's much less expensive than going to just about any salon in South Florida.

My facialist Yasmeen interviewed me first to find out my wants and needs before we started, then was very professional and gentle, explained every step of the process and constantly checked in on me along the way. Supervisor Sabrina was on the ball with overseeing the procedure from start to finish. At the end of it all, I look better, my skin feels better, and I'm glad I tried something new...

I scheduled an appointment on Wednesday, 08/13, for Friday, 07/15, at 11am for a gel mani/pedi…read more Before continuing, let me be clear: I was fully aware I was booking with a student. I didn't expect perfection, this review has nothing to do with the student and everything to do with the lack of professionalism from the staff. I arrived at 10:45am with existing gel polish and overdue for a fill. My regular manicurist was out of town, so I decided to give the local nail school a try (the same one my manicurist graduated from). The student began removing my polish with a drill. I assumed she'd lightly drill, then wrap my nails in foil, but instead she drilled off the entire gel. Since my nails are naturally strong, I didn't critique her process, especially with her teacher nearby. About every 10 minutes the teacher stopped over, not to guide her, but to tell her to "pick up the pace." By 12pm (an hour in), she had just finished removing the polish. She attempted to trim and shape my nails, but her tools were dull. She asked her teacher for help, and the teacher briefly stepped in to cut my cuticles before walking away again. At 12:30, she began applying polish. I asked for a French manicure, but the base already had visible bubbles. Still, I remained patient - it's a discounted service after all. When she attempted the French tip, she quickly realized she didn't have the right brushes. After multiple failed attempts, she admitted: "I'm sorry, I can't do this. I've only been in school a few weeks and missed a lot of classes due to personal matters." I appreciated her honesty and asked if anyone else could finish. The teacher said no - it was nearly 2pm and she "didn't have time." At that point, I decided to leave. But when I went to check out, I was told I had to pay for the gel mani/pedi. I calmly explained that I'd been there for over 2.5 hours, the service wasn't completed, and I wasn't going to pay. The receptionist called the teacher, who immediately went off on me, condescendingly reminding me "this is a school," as if I hadn't already known. Here's what's most frustrating: the teacher saw the student struggling over and over. She had countless opportunities to step in, explain expectations, or even redirect me to a more advanced student. Instead, she idly stood by, pressured the student to "speed up," and ultimately abandoned us both. When I refused to pay for services that weren't rendered, I was told to "get the f** out and don't come back." Not only did I waste 2.5 hours, but I also had to find another salon to fix the damage. My nails were left thin and cracking at the base, requiring an overlay to strengthen them. This experience was unacceptable, not because of the student, but because of the staff's unprofessionalism. If you're considering going to this school for services, I urge you to think twice. The staff should be retrained in communication, accountability, and how to properly support their students. Worst experience ever!

Salon professional academy is a beauty school which offers beauty services to the public at a…read morediscounted rate. I usually go here about once a month on my day off. The prices are extremely inexpensive however recently they started adding $10 to my hair for it being long. It's funny though that they realized my hair was long only after 5-6 visits. This might have been a direction from management or other factors involved. That being said, the students are excellent and fun to chitchat with while getting services. I've gotten haircuts and trimming of hair. As well as a good shampoo and blow dry. I like that they take their time, so if your low on time don't go here. In the past I have gotten facials/face scrubs from here as well. The manicures and pedicures are just average, I think the hair services are the best thing which is offered here. You can make appointments over the phone, I don't think they do walk in appointments.
