She knows most of the people that work there and has great relationships with them. *I have been there a few times and have always been satisfied. *Recently I had a Facial and a Back Facial (F & BF) with Terri Borough. I have had a few F & BF before, but this one was spectacular. Terri Borough did a wonderful job. She is warm, friendly and knows what she is doing. She explained to me beforehand what she would be doing and in what order. I find it helpful to know what is going on. Her touch and technique were superb. She also recommended a few products for my face & skin. I will definitely book Terri again, soon. I highly recommend Terri.

I wish I had chosen a different academy, and I encourage others to do thorough research before…read moreenrolling. The true character of a business is revealed when concerns arise and mistakes happen, and based on my experience, Fox Microblading Academy fell short in several key areas. From the start, I felt pressured to leave a positive review before even receiving what I paid for as a student. After looking further into other reviews, I noticed that I was not alone in this experience--several others have shared similar concerns. The sign-up process is handled by Alan, the business owner, but once payment is made, all communication is handed off to Maritza, who oversees the training. Alan's role is mostly limited to IT matters, meaning there is little long-term accountability or direct support from him. This structure left me feeling misled about the level of involvement and guidance I would receive. The training itself was extremely disappointing and did not provide the hands-on experience I was expecting. While I anticipated learning practical skills, Maritza controlled most of the procedure on my model, leaving me with very little opportunity to gain real experience. My role was reduced to filling in a few lines, which did not give me the confidence I needed to move forward in this field. Additionally, my model was unhappy with the final shape--something that was outside of my control. We are looking for removal which is an extra cost to fix the problem!!!! Maritza's teaching approach did not align with what I would expect from a professional instructor. When I raised concerns, I did not feel I received constructive guidance. Instead, her responses came across as defensive rather than supportive. In my experience, a great educator should help students grow, but I did not feel that level of mentorship in this program. After multiple attempts to address my concerns through email, I received no response for over two months. When I eventually disputed the charge with my bank, I was shocked to see that in her response to my financial institution, Maritza characterized me unfairly, making accusations that I believe were completely unjustified. Another issue I encountered was the discrepancy between the advertised learning environment and the actual setup. The academy has since moved to a much smaller location, but their promotional materials still depict a more polished space. This difference was disappointing, as it did not match my expectations based on their marketing. For $2,499, I expected high-quality education, mentorship, and ongoing support. Instead, I left feeling underprepared and unsupported. **There are many other academies that provide structured training, hands-on experience, and continued mentorship--essential factors for success in this industry. For anyone serious about microblading, I strongly recommend researching other programs to ensure you receive the training and support you need.

This school was a huge disappointment and felt like a waste of money. If you only speak English and…read moredon't speak Vietnamese, I do not recommend enrolling. Most of the staff do not speak or understand English, and this was never clearly explained to me before I signed up. Before I enrolled, they called me constantly to get me into the program. Once I was in, getting help was almost impossible. You have to chase people for assistance, and even then, nothing really gets resolved. There is only one instructor in the evening, and he clearly shows favoritism. I did not feel supported or treated fairly in class. The supplies they sell are very low quality--comparable to cheap online products. For the prices they charge, I expected much better. On top of that, the school is not clean. The classrooms and restrooms are consistently dirty, and it doesn't seem like they maintain the place properly. If you're serious about learning and building a career, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

He is considered a Tier 3 stylist, and I loved the results. He was careful about lifting my natural medium brown color to a blonde that both suited my wants and kept by hair safe. He took a lot of time to talk with me about goals, which made me feel like he is in it for the long game-- like he really cares about his clients and works to maintain extended relationships. I'll be back to see about lightening it again soon! The salon seems to be in a paced opening phase, so it is early days, but Joaquin and the team on the ground were super accommodating, the environment was comfortable and airy. They offered beverages and kept me comfortable and were respectful about masks and distance. I'm glad Chris jacobs the comb salon was my first jump back into a salon after more than a year away!!!

There was a dispute from my moms banking institution about the initial deposit of $250. I keep…read moretelling whoever is texting that I did not dispute a transaction. How many times do I have to tell you that, the card that made the initial deposit was not mines. And I never disputed anything. I can't close a PayPal dispute if the dispute did not come directly from me. I can't call a bank and inquire about an account that I am not on. If the cardholder is saying that they didn't dispute a transaction and I'm saying well can you call and find out they say later I will. My hands are tied at this point. But to be threatened to be sent to collections when I paid the remaining 2250 for the class on my own debit card and never disputed that is annoying. It's like being harassed and threatened over something that is out of my control. The card that made the payment for the deposit of $250, is not my account. It's my moms. It's not my name, so I can't contact the bank. The PayPal account is mines, but since the dispute came from the bank there is nothing I can do. The card that paid the balance of $2250 is in my name and, that charge was NOT disputed.
