Not to mention that the kit they made me pay 600 dollars for was all things from Amazon and only products for outdated services. You wont be taught how to do any kind of gel, acrylic, pedicure, manicure, paraffin, regular polish, etc. services. The only hands on things I was taught was silk wraps for a single day and how to make your own charms with silicone molds. And the singular day we "learned waxing" was taking turns doing a couple strips on eachothers arms and thats it. Don't pay close to 5000 dollars to get a half-assed education, when youre teaching yourself pretty much everything you need to do if you want to be a nail tech. Absolutely insane school please please dont waste your time, dont waste your money, dont waste your effort or your ambition and skills.

I was welcomed with lots of love right from check in and then seated with the lovely Luz. She was very kind and asked me about both my hair history and my current wants. I told her what it was I wanted and she assured me I was in good hands. What would normally be a dreadful experience looking at my hair at the mirror turned to be more of a girls hangout where we spent chatting and I left with a haircut I loved.

Was made to feel that doing my hair was a problem (on multiple occasions). I spoke directly with the director Amy during my appointment about my grievances. She did nothing.

Instead, support the students who are here once they graduate (the students do not get paid for the service they provide you at the salon). Ignore any "reply" the school may leave on the review.

Mrs. S always knows exactly what I need when I go . Last week my facial and peel was with Alessandra. Wow! She was fantastic! She has magical hands! She gives a great message while doing your facial, she did pressure points, which really helped with my sinuses. Have to say was one of the best facials with her ! Looking for to my next visit. I highly recommend the school . The students are in the learning stages, but it's the Seniors that actually do the services , under supervision.

Prices have…read moreincreased to the point that it is no longer a deal and the service is absolutely atrocious, both from supervisors and students. Today i went in for a color touch-up, something I had done about 6 times before. A dumpy, stocky, barrel of a woman in red lipstick started screaming me out for not know color codes. And not having a photograph of what was done in the past. What a nsaty attitude and a scream down in the middle of the salon. Reprimanding me about not knowing these are students and I SHOULD KNOW WHAT TO ASK FOR. Excuse me? I am paying $72 dollars for a service. Even if its student, I expect a bare minimum of service for my money. You are not doing clients a favor. Clients are doing you a favor to sit there for 5 hours so your students can make an absolute mess of their hair and then pay $72. Onto the students. The quality of students they have have zero competence. Again a bare minimum is expected when you charge $72. The students are so incompetent that they have no busienss even being students in any area. The school is doing a very poor job recruiting students. Most of the times you leave the insititute worse than you came in. The students dont give a rat's tail what they do. They are too much in a rush to sit and play with their iphones Lastly, they downright destroy your hair. During my blowdry she yanked so much of the hair out. I came out with a splitting headache. And after all this more of a surprise: A service that I expected to pay 50$ for came up to $62 plus 10$ tip. I could' ve gone to a professionals salon for this price. What a horrible experience. (you should've seen what they did to the client sitting next to me.)

I met an apprentice Jessie who agreed to do either relaxing or highlights. She set up an appt for a Sat a week away. I decided to go with highlights and lowlights. She did full head, which took around 3 hours, and did an amazing job. She was very helpful in picking out colors and pretty much doing exactly what I wanted. And she was great to talk to as well. I don't think I could have asked for more even if I was paying. However, this was free too! This was an absolutely fantastic experience for me! I hope they'll want to use me again in the future (another apprentice offered to cut my hair soon).

When I wanted to get a fresh new shorter cut I was surprised to see that there aren't any Toni and Guys in NYC -- but I found the Tigi Academy...and found CHRISTOPHER. I already trust the Toni and Guy/Tigi family -- because they are always on top of the latest trends. I did not do the model exchange -- I wanted to pay for an amazing haircut and have an amazing experience. That, I did. Not only is the Academy in a really cool and ritzy party of town - with a great view - But it was clean, modern and every single person there was friendly to me. I am always nervous about paying a good chunk of change for a haircut -- but wellll worth it! The first time around Christopher cut 9 inches off and he made me feel confident and he took control and I loved the result. It was cute right then, and was cute when it grew out. I've already gone back for a second cut. He's my man!
