With my long hair, she took her time, worked carefully, and checked in with her instructors whenever she needed help. They were right there guiding her and giving her confidence. I love my hair and I know Bailey has a bright future as a stylist. I'd definitely recommend the school!

It was decently priced and they could all sit together in a small room. They loved the hand massages. Only thing that could have been better would be the nail polish colors, they were quite limited. Check out online for available services and book over the phone. It's located right inside the Southgate Plaza, so you can run some errands too... Like stopping at Paula's or Market in the Square for a fresh donut.

I tried following up with phone calls etc... they do not answer phone calls and the school is completely run down. I would call daily and hear nothing. I decided I was going to unenroll due to the way they ran their business and because I thought I should spend a little more money going to another school to actually learn correctly and get my phone calls answered or called back. I chose to walk in and let them know I was unenrolling instead of calling because they don't answer phone calls. I sat down with a lady and told her my situation and why I was choosing to leave there school, she looked at me as if I was crazy and said she had nothing with my name on it or anything. She said they didn't know who I was and acted like I was not enrolled. Keep in mind I paid enrollment fees and had there required background checks done and everything. I left very mad because I was enrolled and I had proof. I texted them more and called because I wanted my money back and no one has answered still. Do not go to this school. Do not waste your time with the tours or calling. They just want your money and do not care about you.

I've been attending this school for only a few months now and it's probably the worst choice in…read moreschooling anyone could make. This business is falling apart. Employees and teachers have been quitting left and right. We found expired facial products from 2013 and 2020 being used on clients. For official clients that pay money to receive a facial from us, we're told to cut the facials short instead of giving them the full 50 minutes they paid for, simply because the employee that runs the clinic wants to go home instead of doing her job. We've been using water in replacement of empty products because no one orders new batches. Half of the school's facial machinery is broken. And as a student, during class days you're legally obligated to stay in the building for 4.5 hours. The first 20-30 minutes are notes and the rest of the time we sit here staring at the wall. You're not allowed to leave the building for anything, and the only food or drink are in broken vending machines that eat your money. The lady that runs this business rarely visits the school since she's too busy in Florida or on cruise ships wasting all of our tuition on herself instead of paying her employees adequately or fixing up our equipment or buying new products for our "spa". She very obviously does not care about running a school. This feels like a money grab instead of a legit education. I would never recommend this school to anyone and the most I can hope for is that I'll pass my board exams.
