    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I booked appointment today to get my hair trimmed and a silk press. The person who scheduled my appointment was very professional and kind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once I got there, I was seen momentarily after I arrived. I have 4C hair and was curious to know who was going to be doing it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My hairstylist was a cool charismatic woman named Sandra. She had beautiful dyed hair and was very pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She washed, blow dried, and did a thermal style on my hair in which I loved! [[HIGHLIGHT]]All of the staff and students were very kind and friendly at this location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The prices were very affordable and were able to book a future appointment on the spot. If you end up going based on my review, mention my name 'Desireé J' from Yelp and you will get 50% off your services! Please note, this is only for new customers. You can also get 50% separately if you come in and celebrate your birthday with purchasing their services. Thanks again Sandra and team! I will definitely be back!

    Before the service.

    Janelle slayed away on my hair yet again. Trim and a wash + blow out. Shes truly gifted at what she does. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I left feeling like a million dollars.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And of course, I'll be back!

    Huge shoutout to Molly Gonzalez @ Bellus Academy El Cajon-I highly recommend her!! Nothing beats that feeling of a fresh, healthy hair transformation. Thank you for taking the time to tint touch up all my unwanted greys, and for the perfect point cut trim!

    Love it!

    Came to get my roots done and was taken care of by Maya. She was very good at explaining what she was doing, taking her time and paid attention to details. The color she did was a perfect match and looked great. For being a first time client, that impressed me. Shampoo/conditioner with a blow out and curl. All were so professional. I loved my hair when I walked out! Did not take long at all, and for the student clinic price ?!?! I'll be back for other services after this trip. I had a great time and the clinic vibe with all of the students was such a good energy. Thank you Maya, your talent and fun personality are going to take you far in this industry!

    Beautiful! I feel like a woman again!

    As a child, my family went to a beauty school for all of our haircuts. So I wasn't nervous about going to a school again. This was my first visit here. The receptionist greeted me with a smile, which is always nice. Kayla gave me a gel manicure; she was so sweet and very careful. She kept asking me to tell her if I felt uncomfortable/pain. She was very gentle so there was no chance of that happening. The end result is gorgeous! I think the reason is that she was very focused on what she was doing and didn't rush. The only thing I thought was strange was that an instructor or one of the licensed staff didn't check in on her to see if she needed anything. She did say she was due to graduate soon so maybe that's the reason. If you're on a budget, this is a great place to take care of you!

    I have thought about becoming a permanent cosmetic artist for a while but kept pushing it off. Well…read moreafter having a baby I knew I didn't want to go back to doing hair and standing on my feet for 10hour days. So I started searching microblading schools and I search alot of schools! FINALLY after a month of deciding I went with microblading Academy because I really did feel drawn to it and wanted to practice on the most models. Being a cosmetologist I knew that education was important but hands-on experience was the most important. Microblading Academy gave me that hands-on experience, I attended the San Diego class and had Josh and Jovi as my mentors. Josh was very upbeat with motivating me and really was helpful with being open to asking my questions, he also a hairstylist. He makes the practice Strokes look so easy!! He's a very sweet soul and when I doubted myself he reassured me. Jovi was very informative with helping me microblad my model and stood by my side to make sure I did a good job. I was nervous, usually things came easy to me and she made sure I felt comfortable with every stroke and color on the two models. She has a girl boss vibe that is continuously sweet. I got to practice on two models from start to finish and each model had comepltly opposite skin tones. I really appreciated working on two different skin types and brows.... it was very important to me that I got the most hands-on experience. During my class, I noticed a returning student coming in to sit inn for a refresher. That really stuck out to me that the company was nice enough to let the returning student sit in on the class again. In total the classes is 10 hours.. I recommend getting a great night sleep, don't lose sleep over being excited for the class like I did & (also being a new mommy did not help) just get your rest so you can be focused and Collective! The first part of the class, you are practicing on fake skin, going over stroke theory and asking questions. Second half is practicing on models. Of course it comes with a kit and also a theory booklet you can read when you return home. Upon returning home I had so much questions and excitement . Josh and Jovi where so nice to answer some questions the very next day. I do believe I will take the refresher class just so that I can feel more comfortable taking clients because just from posting my student work on social media I have had 6 people reach out to me for their eyebrows, I have never seen a response to a service so fast before! I cannot wait to keep practicing and becoming better with my Strokes. A good tip, Amazon sells practice skin! Go for it!! I wish I had when I first look into it years ago cheers everyone and good luck.

    It was a nice educational and skillful experience with one of the best teachers I have ever met…read morethanks to you guys for teaching me in very easy and friendly way my learning experience was very good I was able to learn everything very easy and the teachers taught me in very professional manner.thanks again

The teachers I interacted with showed so much love for their kids. What a pleasure to go back to childhood years for a few hours. Lexington is a very diverse school, with kids of many countries or origin and ethnicities. I value the work of the teachers to deal with so much diversity and cultural differences. The classrooms are so nicely decorated and personalized.

When I returned to the office, I found my daughter fainting and crying, completely overwhelmed because of this school's cruel and broken system. She was constantly bullied, and the teachers ignored it entirely. Miss Hoy targeted my child, treated her unfairly, and turned the entire class against her, creating such a hostile environment that my daughter suffered a panic attack. Mr. Henderson failed to step in or protect her in any way. The nurses were negligent and careless. My daughter is diabetic, yet they forced her to miss a once only school activity just to drink three bottles of water. These games only happen once, and she missed the entire game, which left her devastated. The school itself is dirty, poorly maintained, and feels unsafe. This place left my child traumatized. Worst school ever. The staff are unprofessional, irresponsible, and should not be working with children. This school should be shut down and replaced with people who actually care about students' health and safety. weird ass school man. dont bring ur kids here
