I was browsing the Internet for a painting to fill some empty wall space and had a general idea…read morewhat I wanted. I grew up on the St. Lawrence River, which divides the U.S. and Canada. I wanted something that brought me back to my roots, back to my childhood and teenage years of fishing, jumping off the dock, hanging out on the raft, tubing, watching the ships cross the channel and going out on the jet ski to jump the waves they left in their wake. So I sought out of some local artists in Upstate New York familiar with the St. Lawrence. That's when I discovered the work of Paul Allen Taylor based out of Rochester. I immediately saw a canvas print I liked titled, "Ogdensburg - Prescott International Bridge." When I first spoke to Paul about this print, you could tell he wasn't just interested in making a sale. He explained to me the story behind it. He said he had just recently commissioned the original in acrylic for an Ogdensburg resident, both of whom went out on the St. Lawrence together to capture the image seen in the painting. Paul didn't need to do any further explaining. I wanted it. I originally ordered the 14x48 unstretched print for $179, plus shipping to my residence in New Jersey. I didn't think to ask Paul to stretch and frame it since I was worried the package would arrive damaged. But Paul was considerate and acknowledged that the cost to stretch and frame a 14x48 print would be higher in my area than it would for him to do it himself and send to me ready to hang on my wall. So I agreed to let Paul do the whole job and I'm glad I did. The package was wrapped perfectly with no possibility to be damaged, I wasn't left to search for a competitive price at local framing shops, and the final cost did not end up as high as I had anticipated. Also, Paul was an excellent communicator throughout the purchasing process, updating me frequently on the status of my order. He was also willing to give me multiple frame options, but the first or second selection he made was perfect. Now this masterpiece rests on my wall, which will forever remind me of my childhood and teenage years. It's also going to be a great conversation starter when guests are over. Thank you, Paul!

I've picked up beautiful cards - I love their watercolor ones. While pricier than the average card, they're one of a kind so you're getting something special, making it extra sentimental for that occasion. Their shop features some gift items as well like their watercolor clutches and silk scarves - both beautiful! Also mini calendars and prints. Andrea's watercolors are beyond words. I have a print that I was gifted and my boyfriend has purchased a few pieces for his house. The shop is also their workspace. They do amazing designs for baby showers, wedding invitations, and everything in between. It definitely goes beyond my creative abilities so you know they'll be able to create something just right for you and they're timeless. The display they have for "inspiration" is mind blowing. I can't wait to use them for that down the road.

You will not learn enough skills to start a career in a hair salon after studying here…read more You will be paying thousands of dollars to possibly pass an exam. The training here is not good and is minimal. I am a graduate of this school's full time cosmetology program. The educational experience here was awful. The owner is an inexperienced cosmetology instructor that has only been open for a little over a year. There was only 2 of us in her class. There was not enough practical hands on training on the school salon floor during our 8 month program. When we worked on the school salon floor the owner/ instructor left us unsupervised many times to talk on her cell phone or hide out in her office. Her daughter who supposedly "works" at the school walks in and out of the school often like it is her living room at home unprofessionally. We received minimal and poor haircut training. There was no hair color training. We received minimal chemical service training. We received minimal electric clipper training. You will get no training in mens haircuts. There was no clippers in our $1,500.00 cosmetology kit. Half of the cosmetology kit was filled with cheap dollar store grade supplies. I wasn't ready to work in any salon after I completed the cosmetology course at this school. Because I didn't know how to cut hair or color due to lack of training. Many photos in the school were there to boost the schools social media presence. The photos were pretentious and fake The teacher/owner was unprofessional, rude, passive aggressive, condescending, and talked disrespectfully to me throughout the entire program. I couldn't wait to finish. And happily skipped out of the graduation ceremony. The teacher/owner also showed extreme favoritism towards the other student in the class. She would get product from her personal salon to give to her favorite student during class. The teacher stated to me that the other student.."reminded her of herself". She allowed the other student to be tardy numerous times and reprimanded me if I was 10 minutes late after my long commute to get to this "school" The teacher said she would offer support at the end of the program to get you ready for the exam by helping us pack for the very specific way for the licensing exam. The teacher/owner did not offer any support for exam preparation. She avoided me on my last day of school. I am currently at another school getting beginner foundational training because this school did not provide it after I spent thousands of dollars of my hard-earned money here. I am learning more in this new school than I ever did at Visions School Of Beauty. I do not recommend Visions School. The owner is just doing it for the money and you will not get a quality education. Avoid this place! You will be wasting your money.
