I moved to this area 3 years ago and I found the Pink Lotus while looking for a new hair stylist…read more In finding one I found Tonya! I always felt welcome anytime that I came into her salon. She became my wax tech. It was only natural to support her new passion, teaching. I decided to get a Brazilian wax and my eyebrows done by her students. Both which could be uncomfortable for different reasons. However, she made what could have been an uncomfortable service very pleasant. I was very at ease as she was patient with her students all while making sure I was comfortable. Her new location allows for the much needed privacy and offering a full spa experience. I would highly recommend the Pink Lotus whether you're a client looking for a great experience or a student looking for a great school and instructor this is the place you want to go!

BECAUSE I CANT LEAVE ZERO STARS: THIS SCHOOL IS A SCAM!!!…read moreThey want to enroll as many students preferably veterans. Ms. Hill stole money from multiple students She made students fill out multiple FASFA applications for an 11 month program. When the "owner", Deanna Lewis came to town to "fix everything" she told each student they would NOT get any money back and that was that! The receptionist Ms. TC, Ms. Hill, and Ms. Payne all left in the middle of the night. Locked everyone out of their accounts and stole the school checkbook! This program waits for new students to enroll so they can use their FASFA to pay themselves. Multiple students are pressing charges. THIS SCHOOL AND THE OWNER are SCAMMING EVERYONE!!

I am currently a student of Mrs Karen Stallings. I'm taking her Pro Makeup Artistry 101 course. I…read morehave learned so much since class has begun. We are taught the history of makeup, sanitation, the color wheel, proper tool use and placement among many other things. If you want to become a professional makeup artist this is the best place for you to learn to perfect you skills. This is not a class this is a course. Also Mrs. Stallings is the owner of Colour U cosmetics which is what we use in class. I highly recommend this course and this school!

I had the best salon experience today with Taniya ! She was polite, caring and listened to what I…read morewanted to do . She was thorough in her work and beautifully frosted my hair. I would recommend this school to everyone who would like to have quality hair color in their hair . Can't say enough good about them .

The school is affordable and I was able to make a payment arrangement to pay for my classes. On top of it all, I went from working at a minimum wage paying job to working at one of their barber shops. They prepared me to succeed. I am so glad I went here.

I got my brows microbladed initially by Michell Dao in July 2018. I love the shape and color that…read moreshe provided - she breathed new life into my brows! In August 2019, I got a color boost (completely normal for the duration of the microblading pigment) with Sarah - she tweaked the shapes of my brows to make them even more fabulous! So happy with their services. Microblading is not a cheap service, and you DON'T want to sacrifice quality by getting a groupon to get this done to your face! I would recommend following the makeup school and/or microblading studio on social media to take advantage of specials they run on occasion! I have also received makeup services for special occasions, and their artistry is top notch. My artist Kellie listened to what I wanted (i described it as subtle drama!), and she was able to deliver! I highly recommend any of their artists!

TMSSR offers a variety of permanent makeup services. The way they operate is top notch. Upon…read morebooking your appointment, clear and consistent communications and reminders are sent to you. By the time I arrived I had clearly understood what I needed to do before and after my appointment, what to expect, next steps, policies and procedures, etc. The young lady at the front desk was so bubbly and welcoming. Michelle performed my microbladed brows. She was very sweet and answered every question I had. She ensured I was comfortable and well informed before we started. TMSSR performs with top notch cleanliness and seems to take every precaution to keep both them and their customers safe. Prior to the procedure, Michelle mapped out my brows. We were able to discuss and make changes to the outline before we started. She wanted to make sure I liked my outline. It did not hurt! Michelle numbed my brow area so I barely felt anything. The chair I laid in was uncomfortable but she let me take breaks and move around. After she was done, and I got to look in the mirror, I was not used to seeing my brows so dark. However, they do heal and turn out much more natural in color. Michelle provided me with all the tools and instructions needed for my brows to heal properly. It took about 2 weeks to heal. I have received so many compliments since. My brows have been my biggest insecurity but now they are a confident booster. TMSSR really do take pride in offering high quality service. I highly recommend them for your permanent makeup services. Do not go cheap! They know what they are doing! I have known so many people who have received their services here and they have all spoken highly of this place.

Could not recommend this school more!!! My son has been here for about a year, for reference…read more First, they are by far the cleanest daycare I've ever toured and we toured a lot! Second the staff genuinely cares, my son has moved throughout multiple classrooms and every teacher has been nothing short of fantastic in the infant and toddler program thus far. In regards to the infant room they are GREAT about following the oz's per bottle you set, but also gently making recommendations when needed. because let's face it babies act different depending on who they're around sometimes. You get these cute little notes about things they enjoy and developmental milestones they achieve. They send home soooo much art work for you to hang on the fridge and cherish. The toddler program is also wonderful. Classroom 6,1,2, and 3 teachers were all super great. One day there was an issue, my son slept too long and he slept through a bottle and as a ftm it made me super nervous, this staff handled it like CHAMPS they were super understanding and supportive of my position and assured me it wouldn't happen again and it did not. Goes to show how great they are at not only dealing with babies but also parents. The food they receive is also amazing in my opinion their menu never fails! Overall the value of care, education, and experience you get for your child is unmatched by any other daycare I've seen. If you can get a spot here I highly recommend it!

This review is for the owner and director of the school- I…read morehave never had so much disrespect from another person. I had an issue with a teacher. I tried to discuss it with the teacher, that did not work so I went to the director. She not only did not hear any of my concerns, she was belittling and dismissive throughout every conversation. When I went to the OWNER of the school to discuss how the whole situation was being handled and how rude her staff was, I received the response that is attached below: "Staff members, including our management team, are not up for a discussion with parents." The facility is nice, the actual teachers really do seem to care about the kids, anyone else behind a desk was never a good experience and always made things difficult.
