I went in to get a perm, and they refused me because my hair is dyed. This was after I was told by…read morefour separate people, before making the appointment, that everything would be fine and I would be allowed to get my perm. Only to get denied after I sat in the chair. My time is just as important as theirs, and for it to be wasted in that manner is straight up disrespectful. I woke up at 9AM, AFTER working an overnight shift, just so I could make it to the appointment on time with dry hair. Very disappointed in how I was treated. If you didn't want my $40 tip, just say that next time.

I just graduated from Lavish in their AP Esthetician program. I cannot stress the positive…read moreexperience I had. Kim, Katie and Amy were so very supportive and responsive to my needs throughout the journey. When I initially went into Lavish School, I was very disappointed and ready to give up. I found out that the education I received in another state wasn't going to be enough. Kim lifted me up with her positive attitude and made it seem possible. I walked back out of there with a much lighter heart and hope. I just passed my state boards and am beginning my job search and am very confident that the skills I was taught will carry me far in the beauty industry!!

My mom and I both went to see Kristi at Cutting Edge not too long ago. I'm not sure about you guys,…read morebut my hair is my pride and joy so I was very hesitant on getting my hair cut & dyed! I told Kristi what I wanted and once she started cutting she was frequently asking if I was liking the length, the layers, etc. so it eased my anxiety as she was checking in consistently. Kristi is so cute & kind, and you can easily tell she is passionate about what she does which makes the experience that much more special! The environment of the salon is very small and cozy. My mom also got her hair done & she says she her hair has "never looked healthier." We will definitely be going back to Kristi because she is a rock star & I HIGHLY recommend you check her out!!

I didn't check prices before making my appointment but assumed it would be around $80+. It was less than half that price!

Went a few months ago for leg waxing and eyelash tint and curling. The waxing was not my first time…read morehere but of course was with a different student. This particular young student did not speak. The student spent a couple minutes waxing but was not able to complete the eyelash process. I was passed on to a student who was "very experienced" doing the eyelash process. This student also could not complete as according to them, one eye's eyelashes "wouldn't cooperate ." So that process was never done. The waxing job, hadn't actually been done. While it felt like it had been dine, nearly no leg hair had been removed. It was ridiculous. However, I was charged full price for both procedures though. When I returned home, with sore eyes, my husband asked why they did not wax my legs. I had not taken a good look before leaving the school because my eyes were uncomfortable enough that I just wanted to get home and wash them out. I did write a review on the schools website with the above information. They did not give me the courtesy of a reply. In fairness to them, I had been there for a variety of facial treatments and had been satisfied. It seems to me that a school would, in addition to teaching the practical skills that students pay tuition for would also teach customer service. Teach how to provide remedy when a failure to provide advertised services occurs. Refund? Apology? Gift card? Anything? At least stand by their work. It was huge disappointment to me. I had, before this occurred told many about the school and services they provided. I felt it appropriate to let these individuals know that perhaps, despite the expense, they should spend their money at a reputable and professional business. Interestingly, I did consult a reputable aesthetics practice about my "problem" eyelashes. This person stated that all that needed to be done was to use a regular eyelashes curler first. This person then demonstrated on me. It worked perfectly.

If you don't want to spend a fortune on a haircut, Atelier Academy of Beauty is the place to go…read more I've had my hair cut by Fara and Addi and have been happy with the results! The instructors check in periodically and give pointers to students as needed. Making an appointment online is easy and both times I was taken back a few minutes after checking in. The appointments are longer than other places because students are providing services, but I always schedule my appointments when I'm not in a rush to be somewhere. Cuts are $15, which is a steal given I've paid a lot more at salons in CA and even Aveda Beauty School in DC. Best of all, it's a 10-15 min walk from my apartment so I don't have to worry about parking. As a recent transplant, I'm thrilled to have found a salon I like on the first try and I'm glad it's in Hopkins!
