Lancaster, CA Beauty…read moreschool in the Antelope Valley. I needed some work done on my hair. My SO suggested this place. I made an appointment and was able to get one the next day. I arrived early; there was plenty of free parking. Receptionist was courteous and ask what I was there for. Then the student came to get me. The student made comfortable by asking my name and introducing herself. She asked what I wanted done, showed me colors then she went to work. When it was done; I didn't get the color that I wanted and the haircut. I was a little bit disappointing but for the amount I paid, I guess that's what you get for. And the student needs to learn a lot as well even though she's almost finished. The place needs a lot of revamps, make it more welcoming and stylish especially the area where they wash the hair; uncomfortable and outdated. Still, if you're on a budget and don't mind being part of the learning process, this is a reasonable option.

I took the Master class with Marylu Gomez. There was not a moment during the instruction wherein I…read moredoubted her direction. I thought I knew a lot about make up but wow, I was truly educated. The class is very thorough so you are not left doubting your ability to work in TV, film or with professional photographers. Marylu showed me tricks and tips for keeping makeup looking fresh and proper technique. Not the junk you see all the rest of the world following on Instagram and You Tube. That stuff is trash! Go to Cammua and get trained by professionals who have worked on celebrities and have years of experience under their belt. Thank you Marylu! I also had a broken leg the entire week and she went above and beyond to accommodate me. Now that's love!!!

I had one of the most unprofessional experiences of my life at this school -- specifically due to…read moreNancy Lopez. I scheduled an appointment to get my hair braided. I arranged childcare and missed work for this appointment. When I arrived, the front desk staff (not the person who booked me) realized there had been no communication about needing to wash and blow-dry my hair before braiding. I explained that Nancy had never informed me of this, and thankfully the front desk kindly honored the original quoted price. After my hair was washed and blow-dried by Christina, we were about to start braiding when Nancy stormed in and abruptly demanded that the service stop until I paid extra for the wash and blow dry. She was loud, rude, and dismissive -- even putting her hand in my face when I tried to explain the miscommunication. She told me not to speak because she was "talking to her student, not me." She then touched my hair and began making discriminatory comments about its length and thickness, saying that it would "cost more" but refusing to give me an exact price. Instead of resolving the issue, she escalated it, argued, and ultimately instructed the student to stop the service entirely. When I asked for her supervisor, she claimed she was the boss and the supervisor, blocking any accountability -- until I insisted and was finally able to speak to the actual administrator, who was kind and understanding. This unnecessary conflict wasted 25 minutes of my appointment, leaving the students pressed for time and forcing my service to be cut down to 2 braids instead of the 4 I had booked. I want to be clear: the students and instructors were professional, kind, and compassionate throughout this. The only problem was Nancy Lopez. Her behavior was unprofessional, hostile, and completely unacceptable in an educational or customer-facing environment. I will be reporting her to the board for her conduct. If you book services here, please know the students are talented and respectful, but the administration -- at least under Nancy Lopez -- is another story.

Ms, Klaudia & 3 of her students stayed until 11PM to finish my hair to make sure i leave satisfied. As a client, i learned so much about my hair & what Ms. Klaudia teaches, that i am considering going to school here. Back story: A stylist in Palmdale/Lancaster ruined my hair and i thought id give Monarch a chance to correct it. Immediately they were very welcoming, they analyzed my hair very thoroughly & gave me a few recommendations before they treated my hair to give me the blonde i wanted. Monarch Beauty absolutely killed it with the results!! I LOVE MY HAIR & the outcome of the service.

I've never taken time to write a not-so-great review on a business before, but unfortunately this…read moreexperience calls for it. I had very reasonable expectations going into Monarch for a haircut/bleach and tone. I've gone to beauty schools for services before, and understand the nature of it as well as the risks. But I've never left one completely dissatisfied. Here's the thing, though- The student did maybe 10% of my cut. The instructor did the remaining 90% And not only did she ignore what I asked for, she botched what she gave me. The photo I showed her is far from the cut I received. It is SO much shorter, the layers are very rough, blunt, and uneven, and the shortest layer is literally unstylable. I explained that I needed enough length to curl daily. I was far more after a little volume and hair health than a full on transformative haircut. If the student had done this, though I'd obviously still be upset about the outcome, I feel it'd have been excusable, and would have understood. I wouldn't be writing this review. But there is no reason whatsoever that a licensed cosmetology instructor should have been so very careless in this situation. I felt there was zero caution exercised, and it was just immediate chopping off major length, no work up to it. So it was too late pretty much instantly. And even the student was visibly jarred upon watching. I voiced that she cut it way too short, and she told me that she left far more length than my photo showed, which frankly felt insulting because it just simply isn't true and anyone with eyes could see that. Not to mention that later on in the appt when her student asked her how much longer she should leave my bleach in after checking me, she didn't even look and said "her hair will tell you." I understand the sentiment, but that's not teaching. That's a disservice to her students whom are paying top dollar to be there. I'm not going to name the student, as she did a very good job on my bleach/tone, and I don't want her name to be associated with a 1-star review. The instructors name was Mrs. Ramirez, who I've come to understand is head cosmotology instructor. It's very unfortunate, because now I'm in a tough spot trying to find a stylist whom can install extensions ASAP as I cannot go to work like this. So I'm going to be out several hundreds of dollars, and several hours of my day (which I have to take off work for) I'm not sure how the other instructors operate, so I can't say to stay away from this place entirely, but I would definitely discourage having Mrs. Ramirez oversee/participate in your services. Her approach is far too lackadasical.
