I have been going to the Institute of Cosmetology, Esthetics & Massage for years for facials,…read morenails and massage and have generally had very positive experiences, which makes this situation especially disappointing. During my last massage appointment in March, the student assigned to me mentioned being exhausted and dealing with a death in the family. I sympathized with her situation, but unfortunately the massage itself involved very little pressure and did not help relieve the tension in my back muscles. When I requested deeper tissue work, she brought out a massage gadget instead of using her hands. I specifically requested a traditional hand massage without gadgets or elbows, but the session still did not feel therapeutic or effective. One concern I have is that the school requires clients to complete feedback forms directly in front of the student, which discourages honest feedback and makes clients uncomfortable expressing concerns openly. After the appointment, I politely informed the front desk that I did not feel I had received much of a massage. I was told someone would contact me. Instead, the only follow-up I received was a call canceling my next appointment, which had been scheduled with a different student. I called back twice afterward and received no response. Today, when I finally spoke with the owner, I was shocked by how condescending and dismissive the conversation became. Instead of listening, she talked over me and lectured me as if I were one of her students, or even worse, a misbehaving child. Rather than listening to a long-time client or offering a simple courtesy massage or any kind of gesture to resolve the issue, she spoke to me in a belittling and reprimanding manner. She even stated that I should be able to afford a $120 massage elsewhere and told me not to return for services. Insult upon insult. Don't ass-u-me a client is "poor" if he or she comes to your school. Without clients, your students could not complete their training. I get regular massages from my massage therapist of 15 years every other week. I came to your school because she is usually overbooked. At no point was I angry or disrespectful. I simply provided honest feedback after years of supporting the business. The experience left me feeling humiliated by a place that is supposed to help people feel relaxed, cared for, and valued. I feel offended and demoralized. There are many schools and businesses that welcome constructive feedback professionally and treat loyal clients with kindness and respect. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect those values. Notice how the owner was quick to reiterate that this is a school, yes, I know. Raising your voice, talking over me and demeaning me solidified this fact in concrete. You were not professional at all. This school is also regulated. As a German, I return to Europe every summer. It seems a trip to visit a dear friend in Zurich is long overdue. Maybe CIDESCO can clarify this incident.

Small parking lot but always have a place to park. 2021, I would come here to get my haircut since it's only a couple miles away from me and I moved to this area and didn't have a hair stylist. Always had a great experience with haircuts! Ever since 2022, this place has gone down hill when its come to hair service. I always call to confirm that they have students on site to cut hair and whoever would answer the phone would tell me yes and to come.. when I got there, they would tell me, no one was available to cut hair. Seems like they don't have students to perform hair service. If that's the case, then they shouldn't answer the phone and say to come. I understand they don't do appointments, but if I'm calling to ask if they are doing hair services today, they should say no and not have someone drive there to tell them otherwise.

He did a great job dying my hair and I think he has a great future as a stylist. Cons: I didn't get exactly what I asked for (I wanted shorter hair, and curtain bangs but my hair was still past my shoulders and no bangs ), but that's on me for not speaking up and of course, these are students. However, I do think this weighs a bit more on the instructors who aren't checking in enough in my opinion. Also, I spent more than I expected; I didn't know there was a charge for blow drying, and I would have opted out if I knew I would be charged $25 for this. I was hoping to spend less coming to a school, but still ended up spending over $100 with the service and tip.

The person answering calls /scheduling seems to lack customer service that has to deal with anything outside of a scheduling. However if you have issues with the service you have to call within the week or the school cannot fix the problem. On top of that, no flexibility in your own schedule.
