I've been going to the training institute for years and have mainly been really pleased -…read more understanding that students are learning and some are slower and not as good as others. However, just recently, several of my appointments have started at least 30 minutes late with no explanation, when I can sometimes see the students and instructors chatting away. Parking is only for 2 hours, so this adds to the stress. My appointment for a "simple root touchup" is always over 2 hours. I'm never asked if I'm satisfied, like they do with the skin care part, they should! And the professionalism (by some) and communication seems to have gone down. I've been left in a chair for some 20 mins for no explainable reason when my hair was no where near done or color even mixed. The volume inside seems to increasingly go up. Younger students? "Better" sound system? Less instructors? It just seems to be a chaotic environment. I've wanted to tell this to someone in person but the front desk was busy. (Not a complaint on that part. This is a business after all...) Disappointed. I'm coming back for one last try.

It's been several months since my last haircut, and I really needed it to be trimmed, layered, and…read morethinned for the new season. I was promptly checked in for my 3:30 PM appointment. My hair stylist Sophia was very attentive to my request and careful in washing, cutting, and styling. The instructor checked constantly and made a few small changes to my layers. I recommended thinning since my hair quickly grows thick, and Sophia immediately fixed the cut. For the quality, price, and attention to detail, the haircut was amazing. The only downside is the long appointment time (I finished near 5:30), but it was understandable since the students needed to check their plan and each step with the instructor. I would 100% come back and recommend customers here.

I had a virtual admissions appointment scheduled with the admissions representative. I had…read morepreviously rescheduled once because I had another appointment that I had completely forgotten about, which was entirely my mistake. For my second appointment, I honestly didn't realize I would be expected to have my camera on. I wasn't told ahead of time that it was required, and in my past virtual meetings with other colleges or any other virtual appointments, it had never been an issue. Unfortunately, I happened to be in the middle of dyeing my hair and had a face mask on, so I was embarrassed to turn my camera on. I apologized multiple times and took full responsibility for not being prepared. Instead of feeling understood, I felt like the conversation became focused on why I wasn't turning my camera on. The admissions representative repeatedly said she was uncomfortable because my camera was off and continued bringing up that I had already rescheduled once. It made me feel like I was being judged or viewed with suspicion rather than treated as a prospective student. When I explained that I was simply embarrassed about how I looked, I didn't feel like my explanation was acknowledged. I asked if we could reschedule, and although she said she would message me to set up another appointment, I never received any follow-up. This interaction left me feeling uncomfortable and very unwelcome. I understand professionalism goes both ways, and I accept responsibility for not being camera-ready. However, I also believe there could have been more understanding and empathy in handling the situation. As someone genuinely interested in the school, this first impression has unfortunately made me reconsider attending.

Cute beauty institute. Everyone was professional…read more I got the essential cucumber body treatment, but I don't understand which part of the treatment had cucumber. I thought I would have my eyes covered with a slice of cucumber at the very least, but that didn't happen. Nevertheless, it was quite relaxing. I left feeling greasy after the oil blend, so would probably try another service next time. Keep in mind that they are students performing the services which means they can't receive tips by credit card. I made that mistake and didn't bring cash. Will know better by next time!

I'll start off by sharing a positive experience I had at The Studio Seattle, which was getting to…read morelearn from Hailey Henderson. Hailey is as excellent of an instructor as she is an actor. She clearly loves teaching and is incredibly knowledgeable about acting theory and applications. Hailey has high expectations for her learners and is also deeply compassionate, a perfect combination for creating an effective learning environment. I am immensely grateful to have been able to learn with her. Hailey is the primary instructor for The Studio Seattle, whereas Andrew Tsao is the artistic director and founder. Andrew was going to cover the last several weeks of classes in my Acting Foundations 2 class series, and prior to this he co-taught a class with Hailey. In this class, Andrew had us participate in exercises where we would be improvising interactions with a scene partner. These scenes were meant to be highly realistic- we were playing ourselves and had similar relationships to each other as we do in real life. Our objectives and given circumstances were given to us individually, without our scene partner's (or the class's) knowledge. In one scene, Andrew had one of our male classmates play the role of a sexual predator towards not one, but two of our classmates. When his scene partner responded to his unwanted advances authentically, by attempting to distract the perpetrator and leave, Andrew told her that she was responding incorrectly and that should/would in fact "fight". He also told her that her "avoidance" would be a hindrance to her as an actor. In another scene, part of the given circumstances was that one of my classmates had had an abortion. I followed up with Andrew expressing my concern that not one, but two extremely sensitive topics, particularly for women, were chosen for these exercises. I stated that that the nature of the exercises required us to be ourselves, thereby increasing the level of sensitivity and creating a high potentiality for trauma/re-traumatization. I acknowledged that while actors do work with difficult content, we get to choose and consent to this, which was not an option in this situation (since we did not know our scene partner's backgrounds or objectives). I stated my expectation that content will be more thoughtfully chosen for these exercises moving forward and that learners be made more fully aware of their options. Andrew's initial response acknowledged that he could have been more thoughtful in ensuring everyone was aware that they could opt out of the exercises. He did not address my concerns over the nature of the content itself, other than implying that more experienced actors would have been fine with the content (I have since heard from multiple other acting instructors that this is not at all the case). I responded by saying that I appreciated his effort to improve transparency around opting out of exercises moving forward. I again stated my concern over the content itself, particularly as it relates to women, and expressed skepticism that more experienced actors would have been fine with the content. Overall, I felt like my concerns were dismissed. Andrew responded by disinviting me to continue attending classes at The Studio Seattle. Based on my experience, I'm of the opinion that Andrew Tsao is not interested in feedback as it relates to the safety of his students, particularly women. For this reason, I would caution any woman/female person against taking classes at The Studio Seattle.
