We were hands on by day two! I learned so much and learned so many advanced services that other schools do not teach. Ms Lisa was my teacher and she was always willing to help you to make sure that you succeed. They also prep you for state board . I passed my state board exam with a 94%. thanks to the School. I even had to take a leave of absence for a surgery and the School kept in contact with me while I was out to make sure that I was okay, and I was able to still work on my assignments so I didn't get too far behind. To this day if I need anything I can reach out and get assistants.

And the price is so incredibly low that it's hard to believe, ESPECIALLY when compared with all the hotel spa services and private massage salons in the Coachella Valley. But, today was the all-time best. My therapist, Ashlyn, was simply incredible. A real natural with a great "feel" for her craft. I have received hundreds of massages over the years, but this was one of the very best of all of them. When I checked out to pay, I was met by Heather, who was was extremely professional, personable, and efficient, and booked me next week for my next massage with Ashlyn. These two individuals, Ashlyn and Heather, and Milan massage institute in general are all highly recommended! You simply can't go wrong here!

I've been a regular customer at the Milan Institute in Palm Desert and have visited approximately…read more12 times. I've had my hair cut, colored, high lighted, manicures, pedicures, full sets and skin care appointments, and the students have consistently done a wonderful job. My services have always been enjoyable, which is why it's disappointing to write this review. My concern isn't with the students it's with how the advertised senior discount is now being applied. The Milan Institute advertises a 20% Senior/Military Discount on hair, nail, and skincare services. For all of my previous visits, the discount was applied in a way that matched my understanding of the advertisement. However, during my last appointment, I was told the discount only applies to one service on my ticket instead of all eligible services received during the same visit. As a senior on a fixed income, that made a significant difference. My appointments that were typically around $110 increased to more than $160 because of how the discount was calculated. Palm Desert and surrounding areas have a large senior population, and many retirees choose Milan Institute because they believe they're receiving a meaningful senior discount. If the discount is intended to apply only to the highest-priced service on your ticket or only one service per visit, I believe that limitation should be clearly disclosed in the website advertisement so customers know exactly what to expect before booking multiple services. I'm giving two stars because the students continue to provide excellent work, but I want other seniors to be aware that the advertised discount may not be be applied the way they might reasonably expect. I truly hope Milan Institute clarifies its senior discount policy so customers can make informed decisions.

My first time and she was doing gel and I thought maybe thatscwhat they only do as I saw no other nail polish. When she was done I said I'm having a pedicure as well and they were looking to find someone else to do it. I said no to pedicure. The poor manicurest did not have good tools and the gel machine kept going off. She was sweet and I did tip her. The front desk told me they were charging me for nails only because he tried to void out my pedicure but it voided both procedures. He tried to explain my experience was bad because someone called off sick and I said it's not very professional to tell me that excuse. I try to support cosmetology schools as I went to one and am still in the business. Please do better with your staff and your customers.

Recently I had a great experience at Elite when I had a hair cut by Evelyn, so when he needed a haircut we knew where to turn. We walked in this past Saturday and we were greeted right away, and in the barber's area in two minutes, being cared for by Jesus. The styling and the listening by Jesus already show he is going to be a wonderful professional in this field. The instructor stays around to assist and I enjoy the atmosphere because the instructors are very supportive and give suggestions in a gentle way. Jesus did a great job on my husband's hairstyle. It's the best cut ever! We plan to follow Jesus to his next adventure as a barber because his customer care is outstanding.

After several weeks , I called the board to follow up . Per the board my application wasn't received and the company wasn't current on the IV / blood withdrawal license to teach a class .

I have spoke to someone in the company , who claims the board dropped the ball but , clearly someone within the company did as well. I did consider not speaking anymore about this but , I have lost all the way around and the lack of care for my loss , is a problem . Please check with the board of vocational nursing and psychiatric technicians before taking this course , to make sure there is an active license to teach with the company !

Melissa is an amazing teacher and just a lovely human and booking a month of swim lessons with her was the best decision we made on vacation. She took out almost three year old from a lifelong hatred of getting her face wet... to gleefully jumping in the water, and able to swim short distances. Melissa is fun, patient, knowledgeable and creative and our daughter loved her classes. And as a bonus, Melissa is the perfect concierge for the Coachella Valley. She can recommend wonderful restaurants, activities, even luxuries like in-home manicures. She's an absolute pro at teaching and a great person to know -- highly recommended.

The teachers and staff are caring, patient, and dedicated. They were also very helpful during potty training which helped so much. Each morning, they check children's temperatures, which gives us parents peace of mind and shows their strong focus on health and safety. The school is very well organized with daily routines, activities, holiday events, learning programs, and strong parent communication. I always appreciated the progress reports and updates, showing how involved and attentive the teachers are. The environment is always clean, welcoming, and well managed, with consistent routines, rules, and food policies. Many teachers and staff have been there for many years, which speaks highly of the school's stability and management. A special thank you to Maria in the office (20+ years) and all the wonderful teachers my children have had, including Samantha (19+ years), Karen, Yatsiri, Nicole, and Lorena. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a clean, organized, loving, and trustworthy environment.
