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!!

I took my kids here for haircuts and was really pleased with the price and the result!…read more Kids haircut range between $14-18, based on the level of the student doing the haircut. This is a very reasonable price considering they wash, cut, and style the hair. The only thing I didn't like was that parents can't sit anywhere near your children while they are getting a haircut, they make you wait in the waiting room. I understand why they do it because their haircutting floor is very crowded. I'm just glad my kids don't get upset that they were back there without me.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE Service. I got a simple blowout for $31. They told me it would take an hour. I…read morehad prom that day. I took them an hour and an extra 50 minutes on top of that. The stage 3 student, Julia, kept repeating how my hair is too thick. Yet, at any other place I have never faced an issue. Even when i'd get much cheaper blowouts at this local salon before I moved here from NYC. On top of this, Julia was extremely rude. I told her it's been more than an hour and she said it'll only take an hour. She looks at me point blank saying, "There's nothing I can do. This is a school." They had to bring in another lady to do the other half of my hair. When I went home, my blowout had been completely undone. I wish to get a refund to be honest. Please, mothers, other girls, do not go here. Just pay the big bucks and go to another place. Julia also kept inappropriately sharing about her personal life with me whilst washing my hair. I felt really discriminatory and racist vibes throughout this whole experience as a melanated POC woman.

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!

Amazing massage!…read more You have to remember this is for education for students so you won't get the upscale feel but after the massage got started and I closed my eyes it was like being in a luxury spa. They had the music and essential oils going. The rooms itself is small and not decorated but has the essentials the students need for the massage. I noticed they don't close the doors and just have the curtain so I was a little confused when I was told to undress if the door was going to close or not. It was a sunny day so the sun was shining pretty bright so the room wasn't very dark. They had the fan going but it felt really nice with the heated bed. The foot soak was nice in the beginning, he gave me a choice of essential oils and gave me a little foot scrub after the soak. I did the serenity package for $90 which included an hour of foot reflexology where he followed the chart. The next hour compromised of a face massage (he put gloves on for this), scalp, neck décolleté, arms, legs, abdomen, glute, and back. He really worked out my problem areas and added some stretches in. I was so relaxed and comfortable the whole time. I do have to mention his voice was very calming and soothing and he checked to make sure I was ok with anything before he did it. I really appreciate him spending extra time with all my knots and issues. I wish you great success in the future Dan! They have two free parking lots that had plenty of spaces when I arrived. Bring cash to tip since they can't take tip on a card.

I really don't like posting bad reviews, which is why I personally reached out to the director…read morefirst and explained what happened. I wanted to give them the opportunity to make it right before I posted anything publicly. After everything that happened, I received an "I'm sorry" email. No phone call. Nothing else. My appointment was at 9:15 in the morning. I came in warm and friendly and expected the same energy back. Instead, the substitute instructor's tone and the way she communicated with me was rude and dismissive. When I told her I didn't appreciate how she was speaking to me, I was basically told they were too busy and dismissed. Then the manager backed up the behavior, which honestly made the entire situation worse. The students were actually friendly and warm. I have nothing negative to say about them. My issue is with the instructor and management and how the situation was handled. The leadership, customer service, and lack of accountability I experienced were extremely disappointing. I didn't even start my hair appointment. That's how uncomfortable the interaction made me. I wasted my time and gas and rearranged my nursing school study schedule to be there, just to turn around and leave because of how I was treated. I'm also a business owner, so I understand that people have bad days and things happen. That's exactly why I didn't immediately run online and leave a bad review. I contacted the director personally and gave Aveda the opportunity to address it first. An "I'm sorry" email after the way this was handled isn't enough for me. I have family members and friends who have attended this school, and some have even been instructors there. That makes this experience even more disappointing. It also makes me question how students are treated when they are investing a lot of money into their education and future careers. If this is how I was spoken to and treated as a customer, I think it's a fair question to ask. I will be contacting Aveda corporate and the CEO directly and sharing my experience on social media as well. I honestly thought Aveda was the standard for hair education and customer service in Minnesota. This experience completely changed my perception.
