I am a real person and these are real accounts of my experience…read more Yanna and Ms. Karen are absolute rockstars. I have paid up to four times than what I paid at IIOC for a 'less-than' result. I'm the type of person who does things like hair last minute because, on my days off, I have a lot to do (but I'm also an antsy person and I know it takes long). It. Was. Worth. It. When I called to make an appointment, they told me "walk-in's only on Saturday" so, naturally, I was there at 7:59AM expecting a line at the door. To my surprise, I was pleasantly greeted, taken to a chair within minutes and immediately consulted. Calling all humans with hair: go here. A lot of people are intimidated by the idea of going to get their hair done by anything less than a 'professional'. Good for them, go pay $80 for a trim. Prior to this, my best result was with a woman down south who taught hair at a cosmetology school before making the coveted leap to an "upscale" salon. She was awesome. I only have the one experience with Ms. Karen and Yanna, but Ms. Karen was very attentive the entire time. was truly involved in the teaching process and really understood what I wanted. (I'm not basic.. lol) Yanna comes from a long line of barbers and hair stylists. She is going to be one of the greats, because she cares. THIS is the best my hair has ever looked. Shout out to Becca too for helping with the foils and the color on the front hairline. Sure, my full foil took a little longer that usual, so if you aren't patient, bring a book and chill the F*ck out. Just mentally prepare yourself. I'd say it's like Padawan's learning from Jedi. Ms. Karen, I'll be back. Time WELL spent. Thank you all!

I guess they have a rule there if you complain about the results you're banned from the school!…read moreFirst complaint was an instructor who left me and Miss Karen had to fix it over the course of three visits. This was years ago. Second complaint another student left me while she went to the Finance office and Miss Karen was livid about it. Third complaint was a few weeks ago. I had asked for low and high lights and ended up with grayish tones throughout my hair so upon calling that Monday to ask if they could fix it, Miss Marie told me it's a school and I said what does that have to do with anything so I went in on Thursday and they put a blonde toner in and of course it was better than nothing compared to the way I left so beware if you even speak up about the service because you're not pleased, you will be asked to never come back, this is very unprofessional and if it's a school, then the students would have to learn just as if they worked in a real Salon, etc.. I had never left a review before because I didn't think it was necessary. I thought the School was handling it, but then I was told they were taking notes about me very childish and unprofessional upon trying to call the owner Mr. G who owns a very successful business in Rocky Hill he never returned my phone calls just had his reception take information and never got back to me! I also left an email for Martin G and he never responded. I'm not the first do your due diligence and gore reviews all over other platforms. Miss Marie has zero class and had Miss Pam tell me upon me leaving that I cannot come back there!

I've been a student at Marinello, for almost a year and can not believe the end is quickly…read moreapproaching! I never thought I was capable of learning as much as I did in such a short period of time. It has been a journey I could never forget, a journey that I have come close to throwing away numerous times. It's an amazing feeling having someone know your potential in the field way before you do. They say only God knows what the future holds, but my Ms. Green has shown me the light leading to the future numerous times and in numerous different ways. I'm so thankful to have someone that knows just about everything in this field and knows a solution to every problem. As I prepare for my state boards, I will hear Ms. Green's voice in the back of my head with every question, not only explaining why one answer is correct, but also why the rest are not. As I prepare to be pushed it to the real world of this industry, I will keep in mind I will not be alone because I know I have a teacher to call on through everything. You are not only an amazing stylist, you are an amazing mentor, and amazing person, an amazing leader, and most importantly a strong woman that has molded numerous other amazing stylist to be their OWN stylist. I can not express what an honor it is to have you in my life. You have made my experience worthwhile at Marinello, and any student who will enroll here whose main focus is their future, will understand the value and magnitude of your teaching and knowledge from beauty to the hard truths of life. Thank you for allowing me to see my worth and being patient with the mistakes I have made and will make.

I am an NYIB graduate from a more than a few years back who has been actively working in the field…read moresince my graduation day thanks to the education and preparation I received at this wonderful school. From the caring and supportive teachers to the flexibility of being able to attend a session that fits your schedule (day or night, full or part time) NYIB was the absolute BEST school I had visited before venturing into a career in esthetics. Having worked in the field now for several years, part of which I was the operations/hiring manager for a luxury spa, I can always tell which new estheticians come from NYIB. Their graduates are more well versed in treatment techniques, have more knowledge of the important sciences involved in skincare and have a much more professional image than those who have attended other schools in the area. An esthetician with a resume that listed NYIB as their school ALWAYS went to the top of my interview list. They now offer an advanced esthetics program as well as frequent workshops, a few of which I've attended, and they have a makeup team that participates in fashion week - so, from what I can see, the school has only gotten better!

My daughter started classes at the International Institute of Cosmetology school in Plainville, CT…read morein October of 2020 and she is graduating in some time in mid November and it has been amazing to watch how quickly she has become a completely talented and professional hair stylist! Fun too. I highly recommend this business, not only as a school, but also as a *wonderful* place to go for your beauty services! The reduced prices are such a good deal & customers and walking have nothing worry about, as the teachers are there to oversee all that goes on. I've been in for a pedicure, and today for a gel manicure, makeup & curls. My daughter did my highlights & cut at home several weeks ago. I highly recommend the International Institute of Cosmetology as an educational institution and also for anyone looking for professional beauty services at more affordable prices.

Horrible school! Had my daughter in a small room with four other students learning perms. The…read moreteacher told them they didn't need gloves. Thank god she wore them got chemical burns. Had to go to urgent care with chemical burns on her hand and in her lungs. She needed steroid cream for her hands and a steroid. Inhaler, later, needing to go to urgent care for heart palpitations. When we called asking what was used in the perm? We didn't get answers until long after we were back home from urgent care. Now we learn, they're trying to kick out a student who kicks the bus to and from school and is five minutes late. My daughter really wanted to become a hairstylist. Now she does not! They also allowed a teacher, two teachers, actually, one who screamed across the floor yeah, I did tell you to shut up to a student. That teacher and the one who called my daughter. An idiot are still employed there.
