I got full highlights and love the outcome! She was super easy to talk with, a highlight of getting my highlights was conversations with her. She is so easy to get along with, and makes a lengthy hair treatment process feel like it flew by. I highly recommend this place. Everyone seemed professional and relaxed. Thank you Felicia! Wherever you work you will be such a gift to your coworkers and clients. You will for sure have faithful customers.

First off, I want to start by saying that I am completely unfamiliar with the world of skincare and…read moreesthetics. So stepping into Bellus Academy was definitely an eye-opening experience. I'm pretty sure I was the only young man in the entire building, and I genuinely had no clue what I had signed myself up for. Thankfully, I was in good hands with Aileen Tadeo! From the beginning, she made me feel welcomed, comfortable, and at ease. What made the experience even more interesting was that my appointment happened to be during one of her practical exams. So while she was being evaluated, I was getting a little education of my own! I actually learned quite a bit throughout the process. Now, here's where things get funny. Before the treatment, I told myself there was absolutely no way I was going to fall asleep. Well... that was a lie. Not only did I fall asleep, but I actually caught myself SNORING! And as if that wasn't embarrassing enough, I hadn't eaten beforehand, so my stomach decided it also wanted to participate in the exam. I'm talking full-on stomach growling in the middle of what was supposed to be a peaceful, relaxing environment. I believe even the instructor observing Aileen started laughing. Honestly, if my stomach managed to break the tension or silence during her exam, I'm glad I could contribute something to the experience! All jokes aside, I genuinely had a wonderful time. For someone who had never experienced anything like this before, I couldn't have asked for a better introduction. Aileen did an amazing job making the entire process feel comfortable and relaxing. The fact that I managed to fall asleep probably says more about how relaxing the treatment was than any compliment I could give! I walked in not knowing what to expect and walked out feeling refreshed, relaxed, and wondering why I hadn't tried this sooner. I also found the pricing to be very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the experience. A huge shoutout to this talented young esthetician, Aileen Tadeo! You're doing an amazing job, and I hope you continue growing in your craft. Your ability to make someone completely new to this experience feel comfortable speaks volumes. To anyone who's curious about trying a facial treatment but feels a little intimidated or unsure, I highly recommend giving it a chance! Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I eat beforehand next time? Without a doubt.

I still highly recommend Bellus Academy for affordable services and supervised student work. The…read moreenvironment itself is welcoming, and the value for the price is hard to beat. However, I want to clarify an important update regarding my experience with one specific stylist. After my appointment, the stylist reviewed my personal social media and later sent me a message declining to service me further--not due to anything that occurred during my appointment, but because I styled my own hair differently outside of the salon. While I respect a stylist's right to set boundaries in their chair, reviewing a client's personal content and making assumptions about them felt unprofessional and inappropriate. Client autonomy outside of appointments should be respected. That said, this issue reflects one individual, not the academy as a whole. I would absolutely return to Bellus Academy and simply book with a different student/stylist moving forward.

This review would have been 5 stars if not for my initial experience…read more for the school for Andrew I drove from Los Angeles for a 4:30 PM appointment and arrived early. Unfortunately, my original barber did not show up until around 4:50 PM. When I politely asked what happened, his response came across as dismissive and unprofessional rather than acknowledging the delay. After driving all the way from LA and waiting well past my appointment time, that was disappointing. That said, I want to give a huge shoutout to Uriyah (I may be misspelling his name). When I explained the situation and requested a different barber, he handled everything professionally, respectfully, and without hesitation. The school was extremely busy, but he listened and found a solution. I was reassigned to Andrew, and Andrew was absolutely 5 stars. He was friendly, professional, attentive, and gave me one of the best haircuts I've had in a long time. We had great conversations throughout the appointment, he made me feel comfortable, and he was incredibly kind to my dog as well. His attention to detail, positive attitude, and genuine care for his craft completely turned the experience around. So while I'm giving the school 4 stars because of the initial appointment experience, Andrew personally earned 5 stars from me. He completely salvaged the visit, and I'd happily book with him again. Thank you to Andrew and Uriyah for turning a frustrating start into a great experience.

visited this beauty school for a root touch-up, and unfortunately, my experience was very…read moredisappointing. My roots turned out red instead of brown, which was not the result I expected. Even more concerning, my scalp became extremely itchy and started burning for about 10 days I understand that students are there to learn, and I respect that. However, clients should never have to compromise their health and safety for someone else's learning experience. I strongly believe instructors should be more present, check on the students frequently, and provide proper guidance before and during the service to help prevent mistakes and protect clients. I came in expecting a simple root touch-up, but I left with a hair color I didn't want and scalp discomfort that caused me genuine concern. This experience was unacceptable and has seriously affected my trust in the establishment. I would not recommend this place to anyone who values their hair and scalp health. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes better supervision and client safety a priority.

Devyn was very enthusiastic and excited to get right into it. It's been extremely challenging to find a reliable stylist in the North County area, so Devyn's willingness to really take her time, ask questions and be patient with my textured natural hair was so very appreciate. I felt like she really has a high regard and respect for her craft and it really shows in the work that she out puts. I feel so blessed to model her beautiful work and for her first silk press I think she did absolutely amazing. She's a natural with all hair textures and I look forward to working with her again soon! The student salon space overall feels very upscale and luxurious. Everyone is incredibly friendly and professional and I only ask why I didn't give Bellus a try sooner as they truly are molding the beauty industries next up and coming professionals. Thank you again so much to Devyn for helping me feel refreshed and taking amazing care of my hair !

"If something is important to you , you'll find a way of not you will find an excuse" Yes it's scary at first but the only way to feel confident in lashing is by practicing !!!

The school from day one prepares you gives you all the knowledge and teachings you will ever need for an aesthetician they give you bookwork, they give you test, hands on training can you even get to work on clients and they can book appointments with you Tuesday through Friday at 5:30 and 730 appointment times they teach you everything from waxing to using high frequency microdermabrasion, and chemical peel with enzyme peel's you name it they will teach you everything. Miss Felicia was 100% correct when she said the esthe girls have a bond like not other. I've walked out with friend for a life time, and a school experience I'll never forget. Not to mention when we all graduate individually we get a potluck and the tunnel!! With all the barbers and esthe girls in support of our success. Thank you thank you for giving me a career I absolutely love.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!!!…read more Wish I could give it 0 stars! Can't believe this POS is still even open! I attended the Esthetics course for this school from 2003-2004. I (like so many other students, more then half!) found it almost impossible to finish on time because the school was so boring. It took me a year but I managed to finish those boring hours eventually! I wasn't aware that Paul Mitchell existed until after I had signed up here but 16 years later am STILL sorry I didn't transfer there instead despite the fact that it was 3 times more expensive. Well worth it if you ask me! We NEVER had any "clients" to work on so we always had to practice on each other which was terrible because we didn't get enough real experience. My teacher was a very nice woman (the only nice thing I can say about this school! I did like my teacher ok!) and she noticed I was struggling and the school made the offer that I could go to night school if I needed to to get my hours that way. That made it worse! The teacher was only there from 9-5 everyday so I wasn't even being supervised after 5 pm except by the cosmetology teacher who spent her time telling me about her special diet. I pretty much paid them to sit after hours in an empty classroom and they actually let me!! All of this isn't even why I HATE this school though! My real motivation is the fact that right after I graduated I had a baby and became a stay at home mom, so I didn't go for my license but obviously still planned to. About 7 years went by and I couldn't find my proof of hours because they were repossessed in my storage unit so I contacted the school about a new copy of my proof of hours. The snotty woman on the phone informed me that "they are legally required to only hold onto those records for up to five years and it had been seven, but since it had been so long I should probably go back to school anyways since I probably don't remember anything anyways". First of all, this is NOT rocket science and I have a photographic memory so I actually remember 3/4 of what I learned despite the fact that it has been 16 years now! I recently reached out to the state board because I apparently forgot to finish paying the last quarter of my student loan off (darn) and have been denied financial aid to community college today because of it. While I was checking that info on the government website it showed that I attended the school from 2003-2004 and in fact graduated, but naturally that is NOT enough proof for me to take my test! The only proof I can use is from the school, who apparently wiped their asses with it years ago. Thanks guys! Btw, I paid a little over $2000 back in 2003, today they charge $10,000! I would rather stab myself in the eye then pay another school like this that much money to "retake my hours" Hope this helps! Please do check out the reviews that are "not recommended at this time" as well. There are 18 of them and half of them are bad! Sneaky sneaky!!
