Hidden "beauty" gems are getting harder to find in the San Gabriel Valley, but this place is…read moredefinitely worth checking out. My sister-in-law recently introduced my daughter and me to this beauty school, and we were both pleasantly surprised. It's a simple, clean space where student technicians provide haircuts, facials, manicures, pedicures, and other beauty services under the guidance of their instructors. The best part is that you receive great service at very reasonable prices while helping students gain hands-on experience. My sister-in-law has been coming here for her manicures and pedicures for quite some time and has always been happy with the results. During our visit, I chose a simple beige jelly manicure. The appointment was quick, and three weeks later my nails are still going strong with no signs of peeling or lifting, even though I'm typing on a keyboard all day. My daughter picked an adorable design featuring stars and the soot sprites from the movie Spirited Away, and she absolutely loved how they turned out. She was even wearing gloves in the middle of July just to protect her nails! Everyone we met was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. There is also plenty of onsite and street parking, which makes visiting even more convenient. This is a fantastic way to enjoy quality mani/pedi at a great price while supporting future professionals.

If you have a coupon, it's less. Not sure how or where to get them. Anyways, the student was nervous but the instructor showed her how to trim long layers. My sister in law and her daughter also went in for hair cuts on this same day but both have thick, long hair. It took longer for them. The student did well and was praised by the instructor, so I left a tip. Overall it was a good experience but I wish the front desk staff were more attentive and welcoming.

I am also so happy that I enrolled at this school !!!!! This is a great place to learn about the beauty industry because you are in good hands with great instructors here.

Being that this is a beauty school, do be open minded that you are test subjects for the next Paul…read moreMitchell or pleasure palms. You just have to cross your fingers that you aren't their first test subjects and you pray that they know exactly what they are doing. The beauty of being test subject at a school is that the service(haircuts, massages, etc) you want is fairly cheap so you aren't really being scam for your money. What I got at Rosemead Beauty School is a facial. Yes, you read that right! I got a facial and I have say it was the most relaxing and cleansing experience I have ever tried. For only $16, they rub and scrub and clean your my face so good that your face shines. And an added bonus for getting a facial was I got a massage while the mask was waiting to dry so they can peel all the nasty gunk that built up on my face. It was definitely a rejuvenating experience and would definitely come back again for a facial. Overall, I rank this place 4/5 stars because you are taking a risk from being test subjects for students. It's definitely not a 5 star because you have to understand students do make mistake so do be mindful.

My daughter attended Simply Divine apprenticeship and just completed her 200 hours just to learn…read morethis program does not offer a successful pathway to obtaining a cosmology license. When we initially registered for the program, we had a conversation with Ms. Keisha, the program's owner, to understand the details and expectations. During this conversation, we were provided with some information, but there were significant omissions. Keisha informed us that my daughter would complete 200 hours of theory and practical training at Simply Divine and then seek an additional 3200 hours of apprenticeship in any salon of her choosing. It was explicitly stated that Simply Divine did not interfere with the salon's operations and that my daughter would need to work out the apprenticeship details directly with the chosen salon owner. However, our frustration and difficulties began when we started searching for a salon to continue my daughters training after her 200 hours at Simply Divine had ended. Many salon owners were unwilling to work with apprentices, creating substantial barriers. My primary grievance with this program is the lack of transparency that we encountered, particularly from Keisha the program owner. Important details were withheld, and we feel that this may have been deliberate, with the intention of securing payment while making it extremely challenging for any student to find a suitable place for apprenticeship. To make matters worse, my daughter was informed that the hours she had completed at Simply Divine are not transferable to any other institution. This means that, if she cannot find a suitable trainer to complete her remaining hours as an apprentice, she would need to start all over again at a different educational institution. This revelation comes as a substantial financial burden for my family, particularly considering the high cost of gas. I believe that Keisha, being the professional in this field and the program's owner, has a moral and ethical obligation to provide potential participants with comprehensive details about the program. Failure to do so takes advantage of the ignorance of individuals, particularly young and naive students like my daughter. I am a single mother, and we were overjoyed when Kennedy had the opportunity to attend cosmetology school at a reduced cost. However, we have encountered numerous roadblocks along the way, making us question the value of this endeavor. Now, at the end of the apprenticeship, we have no place for my daughter to complete her training, and the hours she has already completed are non-transferable. This situation has incurred significant physical toll on me. I struggle with leg circulation making driving painful difficult however I scarified my physical health because we saw this opportunity as a blessing. When I spoke to Keisha the owner she was provoking, rude, unwilling to help us find a solution. I asked Keisha if my daughter can do her apprenticeship hours at simply divine and her exact words were "no I do not train anymore". I also asked if she can refer a salon since she has worked many years in this field and her answer was "no". She basically did not care per her own words "she did her part". My daughter was so happy to pursue on of her goals to be a licensed cosmologist and I feel really bad that all the work and hours she has put in does not count for anything. Be careful dealing with this school and program owner do your research and do not make the same mistake we made.

I had previously enrolled in a three-month electrical program at another school, where I learned some concepts incorrectly. In this program at Baldwin Park, Mr. Naseiro taught me how to correct the mistakes from the previous school. In this program, I gained knowledge about residential, commercial, industrial, and motor controls wiring. I learned how to wire various systems and how to bend conduit. Most importantly, I learned about safety and personal protective equipment (PPE). As a result of this program, I obtained my Electrical Trainee Card and can now work in the field. Mr. Naseiro, counselor Ms. Razo, and the front office and financial aid staff have all been amazing in helping me with everything I needed. Thank you to everyone involved. This school truly cares about ensuring that each individual student has the resources they need to be successful.

So I made an appointment for phase 2 students since I saw some interesting reviews on Yelp about the phase 1's services. The problem started when I arrived there was no available phase 2 student though I made the appointment prior. I was asked to get phase 1 student instead and now I know I should've declined but I wasn't thinking much and just giving a try though it was bit menacing. Now my hair looks like a sad gloster canary(the bird with a bang). And the worst thing is since it's too short there's no way to fix this for few weeks till my hair gets long enough to do something while I'm teaching kids. I'm gonna be extra roasted like an espresso blend I wouldn't have minded lack of skillsets if least the direction was ok but my new 'hairstyle' isn't matching my reference at all except being short overall. (btw it was photos of myself with former haircuts that I liked and I told them I want that hairstyles) I understand they're still learning and not familiar with asian hairstyles but I hope if there's someone supervising before thing gets pretty weird - I knew I'd get what I paid for but now I'm looking for wigs and hats so be aware of the lowest point you could possibly get. The place itself was nice and clean street parking was fairly fine since it was weekday morning. People were really nice too. Just my hair got chopped making me looking like some supreme leader but yeah.
