The staff was incredibly patient and supportive throughout my entire journey. They never made me feel rushed or discouraged, and truly helped me grow both professionally and personally.

Not much was different on my 2nd visit 2.5 years later than my first visit here, except the service…read moreI chose. I got a relaxer last time, but this time my hair was (mostly) natural and I wanted to keep it that way. I requested a natural hair process of wash, dry, and trim. I had a style picture sample to show them too. My stylist (Tranise? Denise? Raynisa?)was more of a novice in need of supervision this time than my previous stylist, who was mostly there to accrue hours. She was friendly and approachable. As with my last service, I paid FIRST, word of warning to those who go. Not sure what the return/exchange policy is there for very unsatisfied customers. The atmosphere was upbeat and supportive, with my signs encouraging smiling and positivity. There seemed to be the same supply issues, however, of equipment missing, misplaced, or unavailable. I was told a diffuser would be used to keep my curl while drying, but no one seemed to have one. After a mishap or two (too much product, had to rinse it out) I was placed under the dryer but no additional conditioner was applied to my hair. I should have requested it but really should I have to? I got some good advice on maintenance, and I got the style that I wanted too. When I am more comfortable handling my hair I will go back, maybe bring some equipment/product just in case.

My husband and I scheduled a stress relief treatment which is a facial and back facial one day…read morebefore service over the phone. So the receptionist at that time knew it would be a male and female coming in (unfortunately, this is important). When we got there I did notice some scuffling around and it seemed like the receptionist wanted to see who would provide service for who, or something completely separate was happening, but I did notice. I talked to my student and went to the spa area. After a couple of minutes my husband also joined. I called his name, just saying hi since I knew he was excited because this was his first back facial. He tells me that the student said she is "uncomfortable touching a males back, so she can only do the facial". I told him we would just leave because he was looking forward to that aspect of the stress relief. The receptionist saw us leaving and confirmed that the student did say she was uncomfortable, and that she was the only one available to service my husband. Not sure how true that is because we saw several students walking around. Overall, I feel like this could have been handled so many other ways rather than making my husband feel like he is making someone uncomfortable for being a guy with a back at a spa ‍. I doubt I will be back with him or alone, we were caught off guard by the denial of service.

I've had the pleasure of knowing and learning from Nika for the past several years Most recently, I…read moretook her bridal detailing class and bridal business class offered through Chicago Beauty Exchange. I was so excited looking forward to the class because I knew it would be a great learning experience for me. Nika is one of those rare teachers that does not hold back when she is explaining or teaching you something. She will literally tell you all that she knows. And she doesn't get annoyed by people who ask a million questions (that's me). I'm in a season of my career that I'm trying to take things to the next level, and her class was the perfect class for me to take at the right time. I am a nerdy makeup artist who happens to have an advanced college degree. Nika appeases that side of me because she brings in a lot of her background in the arts when she teaches. She knows a lot about bone structure and color theory and is very knowledgeable about that world and how it translates to makeup. She just doesn't explain the what, she explains the how which, for a person like me, is how I really learn things. Nika is also very honest. Earlier in my career she gave me a very intense critique that gave me a lot to work on and helped to push me farther along on my journey. Nika has inspired me to work on my business plan, website, logo, know my way around legal issues, make quality connections, how to brand myself and to really dream long term about where I want my career to go. She doesn't discourage you but she empowers and encourages you to fulfill your potential. After taking her class, I have enough on my to do list to keep me busy for the next year, at least. And my confidence has increased that the goals and dreams that I have in my heart are actually reachable. She also spills her guts when it comes to her makeup application techniques which is so helpful. A lot of artists may leave out one or two most important steps in their technique that really perfects it. Or they will act like something they are doing is simple and common knowledge and gloss over it, when it is something they had to work to perfect. Not Nika. She is very open and sincerely interested in helping others become better at what they do. She explains her step by step and doesn't hold back on her products that she uses. I am very glad to have crossed her path and I plan to take more classes from her in the future.

When I arrived, I was told the students don't come in until 5:30. I was patient, but by 6:15 I was still waiting. When I asked for an update, the front desk staff--who was kind at first--became noticeably rude and simply said the student was "getting ready." I don't understand why an appointment would be booked at 5:00 if the person isn't even available until later, or why it would take over an hour to "get ready." On top of that, the bathroom was extremely dirty and the overall environment felt unclean. I understand it's a school, but the lack of professionalism and cleanliness was unacceptable. I won't be returning.
