I have done a class at both the O'Fallon studio and the satellite studio in Benton Park…read more The O'Fallon studio has the highest ceilings and thus the highest poles. The room is spacious with good mirror placement. Great lighting and atmosphere. Friendly staff. Benton Park studio is small, but very pretty. The mirrors are gorgeous but they are a bunch of actual house mirrors put together as opposed to a fitness studio full length mirror so it's a little more difficult to see your reflection. Great lighting though. Classes are casual but informative. Good attention paid to students of varying levels. I prefer a slightly more formal structure, but it's friendly. I hope they can open a larger studio closer to the city!

went here on Friday June 12th for a haircut and hi-light. I asked for bright blonde hi lights, I…read morehad a lot of growth from my last hi light. Maddy was the one doing my hair. She put brown/ashy caramel color in my hair. it looked awful. no blonde at all! Then the instructor said she would throw in a couple more foils. She didn't have time to blow dry my hair, so after getting home and my hair dryer, it looked worse, darker than before. I also asked for my hair to be cut in the back in kind of a V shape. Maddy cut it straight across and it looks botched and uneven. My appointment was at 12pm and I walked out of there at 6pm. I sat in that chair for almost 6 hours, I was falling asleep, I couldn't keep my eyes open. My legs also swelled up really bad from sitting in one spot for so long. I was charged $83!! I also still had blonde left in my hair from about the middle to the ends and she covered that up with whatever brown color she should not have been using. . I got no apologies for their mistake. Maddy also burned my head because the water was way too hot, I told her and she barely turned it down. I didn't want to keep complaining, but she still burned my head! I would like to get a hold of John and or Nancy Tirre, the owners. I want a total refund. I feel sick for paying that much money. I'm on disability and had been saving to get my hair done, only to have a very going through a complete nightmare! I will go to the Board of Cosmetology and report this school if I am not compensated! I took pictures of my hair as soon as I got home, you can still see my roots and there is NOT one strand of blonde like I asked for. I will be happy to show the after pictures to the Board if I have to. The instructor had an attitude towards me because I told her I didn't like my hair and that's not what I asked for!

I have been back many times since my last review, so I thought it only fair to update my review…read morebased on more recent experiences. I didn't go back for a long time, but I eventually decided to try it again, and I've had only good experiences since I did. Possibly they've taken complaints to heart and have made changes, because it is much better now. I go a couple of times a year to get low lights in my hair, and they always do a really good job. Of course, since your hair is being done by students, you really have to be patient. If you're having a chemical treatment done, they will likely be slower than a more experienced stylist would be, so go in expecting to be there for a while, and don't expect the turnaround time you'd get in a full salon. In addition to practicing their styling skills, they are also practicing being chatty with the customer while they're working. It's what you get in a full-service salon, so it's part of what they're learning. If you're the kind of person who just wants to relax in silence while you're hair is being done, you can probably tell them so at the beginning, but otherwise most of them will be chatting with you the whole time, because that's part of what stylists do. All in all, the service here has improved over the years, and you cannot beat the price. Important note: Tips are appreciated, just like in a salon, but you can only leave cash. If you charge the service with debit or credit, they don't have the ability to add the tip there at the register, so I always make sure I have cash with me.

Highly recommend if you want an in-depth education on becoming a nail tech. I did my research…read morearound the area and the reviews were honestly terrifying. I went for a tour and met the owner and literally signed up THAT day. This school focuses on education - theory (infection control, anatomy, application) AND practical (practicing manis, acrylic, pedis..etc) They ensure you will pass your state board, but not only that they set you up for success in the industry. When I called other schools in the area, they do only a tiny amount of education, then toss you out into a student salon with little supervision and training. That was not for me and I almost didnt even go to school. Elite Nail Institute focuses on ensuring you know exactly what you are doing before you even touch a nail! We practiced on each other (so performing services on your classmates) which takes away the fear of working on strangers when you are SO new. The location is very convenient too, right in between a dollar tree and Dierbergs (grocery store) and plenty of parking! When I started nail school, nails were my hobby, but now I truly see it as a lucrative career opportunity due to the schools focus on business skills. I was able to work full-time and attend class, it was difficult but if I can do it, honestly, anyone can! The students in my class have turned into life long friends, the class sizes are quite small which is nice too. I am so happy I found this school, and I thank the instructors for their time and dedication to us students. THANK YOU!!
