I was hoping for a little bit more pressure during the back/neck massage portion but was a nice treat. Alicia was my technician, she was nice and payed attention to detail and spoke with a soft, gentle voice. I suggest making a reservation of the services you want at least a few days in advance. Electronic payment only is accepted, cash tip in kindly appreciated.

She washed, cut and styled my hair!!! she paid attention to detail which was appreciated ! I paid $12 and tipped for the great cut which was super affordable ! The teacher came to check her work after , I loved my cut and i will def be coming back to here for future cuts! I highly recommend this facility for a hair cut. They also have a rewards program which is super cool and appreciated!!! The only down side for me but again its something personal was the smell of acrylics, it was so over powering lol i ended up leaving with a headache. But thats just me it may not bother other people! Maybe they can move that to another area or have hair cuts done at a different timing that would be appreciated for those sensitive to smells ;-)

She asked me about my preferences: blowdrying style- turned outward, my preferred part- to the side, but I wear it both ways, water temp- I like it cool, but not cold, and favorite Aveda products- Speed of Light. Ivory also used protective cream. (Only two students have used the blotting papers.) The first Instructor came over and recognized me, said that she did my hair once, last year, when she was a student. I thought about it, and then, I remembered, she had the green apron! (I've been coming consistently since 2017, and have been using the same formula.) She was familiar with my formula. I told her that it always stains, because of the color- it just comes with the territory. The instructor came over to check her work, which was good. She calls it "Black Cherry", which is a good description of it. The complimentary hand massage was really nice. Ivory did an excellent job with that too. It came out beautiful. She did a great job with blow-drying. It was very pretty. It took about 2.5 hours.

    TO POTENTIAL STUDENTS:…read more DO NOT EVEN BOTHER LOOKING HERE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING BEAUTY SCHOOL! Stuff the school does not mention to you at the time of enrollment: - they PREFER you have at least SOME experience in what you are there to learn, in other words, newbies not apply - Staff does not care who you are after you are enrolled, so do not expect any special treatment and/or caring staff members for any concerns you may have - that kit that you pay for out of pocket, items will be used for practice and on customers if the school just simply cannot supply what is needed - nail techs always run out of paper towels and acrylic, always - its irritating and inconvenient to them if you have no one at home to practice on - if its busy, you will run out of the proper equipment needed and be given a stool and a box to place your ass and supplies on while doing a pedicure -while being taught how to do something, you will not be given any pointers on what you should work on to improve and the only response given to you by so called PROFESSIONAL and LICENSED cosmetologists / manicurists is pretty much, 'good enough.' -unless you are enrolling with a friend, don't expect fellow students to try and help you out or BECOME your friend. SNOBBY SNOBBY SNOBBY! -If you mess something up, or do not do it properly, both your fellow students AND staff, will make fun of you behind your back not bothering to give you pointers or any sort of helpful advice - if you want someone to take any complaint you may have seriously, you have to threaten to drop out and get your money back. But even then, they go back to ignoring you as soon as they know you've given them a second chance - Even if class picture day is 2 days after you enroll, You are expected to participate no matter how uncomfortable you are - If the next competition is scheduled within the first week of you starting, you are expected to participate and be judged on your work. No matter how advanced or inexperienced you are. - Nail techs, cosmos and estheticians do not intermingle. They all talk poorly about each other. - NO student actually LIKES attending here - The only time you are noticed is when you don't show up for class, since that can be held against you - Miss Tana is not a very well liked person, she has the mentality of a popular girl in high school and needs to knock it off with the 6 inch heels and low cut tops - if you pay tuition in full you get less attention from the school. Only because they do not have to come after you at any point to get the rest of their money -they do student appreciation day, and some foods served will be prepared in the sinks dirty foot water, acetone and other chemicals are poured into - Miss idontknowhowtospellhername, the staff member you should be dealing with most, the staff member in charge of keeping you updated about your status, the staff member keeping track of your attendance and hours, is very unprofessional. Shes rude, often pisses students off, doesn't go out of her way to try and help you and VERY much should not be working with people - you are expected to start working with the public after 100 hours (at least as a nail technician) no matter if you've practiced 1 mani / pedi or 5 - if you refuse to participate in required competions for any reason, you will be threatened suspension. Even if the reason is that you don't feel comfortable because you just started I cannot stress to you how terrible this place was. It was like being in high school again, but everyone was over 18, some even over 50. Staff often recommends to prospective students that the best way to get an idea of whether or not they should attend is to get a service done and talk to a current student about it. Don't bother. I can tell you right now that not one student was happy or excited to be there. If any of the students said otherwise, Its because an instructor or staff member was nearby. The quality of work done by students was pathetic. For practicing state board so often, I was expecting some impressive work by at least SOME students. The only student I would have let do any practice on me was self taught for years and was only attending school to be licensed. Marinello was not responsible for teaching her any skills she had. I think as a cosmetology school, they should ALWAYS be supplied with needed materials, especially since they are used on a daily basis. Constantly being out of Mortimer, Acrylic, Paper towels, pedicure chairs, and acetone is ridiculous. Its even MORE ridiculous that they expect you to use supplies in your kit which YOU pay for out of pocket. On top of that, the Orkin man that sprays both at the school and at my work asked me why I wasn't attending, I told him I didn't like the program and the school itself was nasty and he replied 'well I could of told you that.' Even the guy who sprays for bugs thinks this schools gross? eww.

    Betrayal, bullshit, fake ass liars is what this school has to offer its students. So, let me tell…read moreyou all about my experiences being a student here... What I had to deal with for the first few weeks was a teacher who was doing her job and showed us everything; we are supposed to learn her skills amazed me. Because she was teaching three levels at the same time, which I thought to myself, this is strange and very odd. However, she pulled it off with ease. After the first couple of weeks with her was awesome. Nevertheless, that was short lived she was fired over some trumped up lies lots of drama followed afterward. Nothing, but bullshit lies, we had to endure shortly after they fired our favorite teacher. We did not have any teachers for three weeks really that would give us what we paid for, and if we did, they did not cut it for us. It was mainly an adult daycare; we had play dates with the nail students. We are the cosmetologist, not nail technology that is not what we enrolled our self for. Do not get me wrong the nail technology teacher was fantastic and showed us a few things to do with haircuts. She had skills in cutting hair, but that was not her job she is a nail technology, not a cosmetology. They mess with our grades, test, we were behind a few test that was supposed to be given to us, and we had to bitch them out about given us our test. One would be so lucky to have a teacher that gives a damn in this case it was a revolving door when it came to having a teacher in this school our tuition is budgeted for paying for supplies as in hair product, teachers pay and so on. The director that works here is all in it lining her pocket!! Yes, she is a con artist lining her pockets with the money from our tuition. Oh and get this they charge every student different tuition prices when it is supposed to be a flat rate, everyone shouldn't be charge different prices it is a fact that is against the law!!! Yes, it is. This campest is so ugly and outdated; I mean it looks tired like a boarding school. It is no wonder students are dropping out like flies and has transferred to better schools like Paul Mitchel, Aveda, Euphoria to get the right professional training you are paying for!! So, my question is why would Wella, and Sebastian sponsoring such a poor school all it's doing is tarnish their good name. This school is being run down by its director along with her little clan and needs to be stopped before it is too late. I do not recommend anyone enroll into any Marinello's school campest in Las Vegas. They are poorly run down to the ground by co-artist, and it is a shame because low lives are ruining Marinello's name. That one good thing that came out of this was Mrs. Danny for the two weeks we had her for along with meeting some great students here.

    Latisha was amazing! She truly enjoys what she does and takes great pride in her work and artistry…read more I've had my nails done at many salons over the years, but the level of service I received from Latisha exceeded my expectations. She was friendly, patient, and genuinely invested in making sure I was happy with my nails. Our conversations were positive and enjoyable, and she seemed to understand exactly what colors and styles I was looking for before I even showed her inspiration photos. She also offered her own nail swatch options and helpful suggestions, which made the experience even better. What impressed me most was the attention to detail and care she put into her work. She never rushed and took the time to ensure every nail was done properly. It has been two weeks since my appointment, and I am still absolutely in love with my nails. I've received multiple compliments, and they have held up beautifully. I would also like to recognize Instructor Sherry, who was incredibly accommodating and made sure I was well taken care of throughout my appointment. Her professionalism, patience, and support contributed greatly to the positive experience. It is clear that she genuinely cares about her students' success and the quality of service they provide. Overall, I highly recommend Latisha to anyone looking for quality nail services. She is talented, attentive, and clearly passionate about what she does. She has definitely learned from one of the best. Under Instructor Sherry's guidance, I have no doubt that Latisha will continue to excel and achieve great success in her future career. While my experience with Latisha and Instructor Sherry was outstanding, I believe there is an opportunity for improvement in professionalism among some staff (Gwen and Debbie) and students (Brittany). As educators and representatives of the school,instructors should foster a positive, respectful, and supportive learning environment. Avoiding negative discussions about fellow staff members, students, clients, or guests in public areas helps maintain professionalism and sets a strong example for students. A welcoming and respectful atmosphere benefits everyone and reflects positively on the school's reputation.

    I usually go to Aveda, but there was that Living Social deal, so I figured, what the heck?…read more The deal included hair cut, blowdry, highlights, deep conditioning, a mani/pedi, and eyebrow and lip wax. And yet, at $50, still not worth it. To start with, my girl was very nice, but it was her first time ever on the floor. Now, I think it's really inappropriate to put a first-time stylist with a client with so many different parts. She was clearly lost the whole time, had to keep getting help, kept me waiting, and didn't even finish my manicure. I ended up just getting a trim, because it was clear she couldn't handle what I actually wanted. The other students were a huge problem though: they were not only unprofessional, some were downright obnoxious. There was one point, while an instructor was checking my cut, that I was surrounded by five people: my stylist, her 'helping friend,' the instructor, some loud student who wanted help for his own hair, and some guy who didn't even work there! I mean, I'm used to the student/instructor setting in Aveda, but this is ridiculous! The whole time I was there, students were gossiping, doing their own hair-- I even heard one student joking about a customer she had just had! If you want a mediocre cut that'll take hours, go to Aveda. At least there, the students listen to you and act like you're a person.

I was getting ready to start so i had orientation and first of all the lady that was doing the orientation was running an hour late, I had to call her and she ask's me to reschedule like it was ok i found that very unproffesional. So i got a call later on that evening and got asked to reschedule again but I really had my doubts at that time, besides this whole issue while I was waiting for this lady that never showed up all the students ware walking around some ware doing their own hair, I never saw an instructor , no one was learning from what I saw and I seen absolety no customers, just everyone in general looked very unproffesional. So I never write a review but I do not recommend this school AT ALL and this goes for people trying to become students or the ones that get services. This school needs to close down.

    If ever there was a pit crew of eyebrows, this is the team. They are fast, detailed and friendly-…read moretemple massage and everything! I get my hair done every 2 months, and that's when I get my eyebrows done. Truthfully it should be monthly if I'm honest with myself. I missed last time because I got enamored with Sushi Sumo and the distraction made me forget. Today I walked in with the eyebrows of someone's grandpa. It was real. Oh! And I got splashed with bacon grease when I was cooking and it burnt off part of my eyebrow closest to the start of my brow bone. Making me look normal might have been a challenge for others. Hina made me look exceptional. The thread came out, the scissors came out, the aloe came out and poof- the mirror came out and I was done. It took a hot 5-10 minutes and I got right in. No appointment. I've been here numerous times and they're always very gentle. I have super sensitive skin and the aloe they use doesn't break me out. I've gone to other places that do. Never again. They also do a nice little temple massage at the end. I know I already mentioned that, but it truly is lovely. You don't always get seated immediately, but they will get with you quickly. It's not expensive at all and they even have a punch card for free sessions after you complete so many. I have about a hundred of these cards somewhere. They just float off into the aether. I was assured when I find them all, I can bring them all in. Now I just have to find them. Lol
