Listen where to even begin The main guy who teachers…read moreeverybody to do haircuts can't even cut hair himself. I asked for a fade on the side and he didn't even blend in the guidelines. My job starts in 3 days and I look like a raccoon the way u can see every line. Would definitely NOT recommend stay away from the bald guy with glasses. Basically the man instructing them wants everything done himself do NOT go here because u will get a bad men's haircut go to your usual barber trust me.

Finally stopped crying long enough to write this review. My husband helped me take photos of the…read moredamage so you can judge for yourself. I walked in a strawberry blonde and walked out with blotches and stripes of red, green, ash and brown. I have to say the girls were very sweet and worked hard to get it right. The problem was the man instructing them. He handled all the dye mixes. Even when the girls and I knew the process has gone wrong, he kept insisting it was just some red in my scalp. I held up strands of my hair with a red blotch at the root, a streak of bleached blonde, and another of copper, and told him that's not scalp. I should have walked out then. Instead I let him mix up two more batches of dye, one to tone down the red splotches and another to tone down the bleachy streaks. You can see the result. The girl next to me fared no better. She kept saying how bright yellow her hair was and asking if it would darken up. The whole thing was a horrifying experience made worse by the condescending and arrogant instructor. If he had even once acknowledged there was a problem, I would have thought it was a fluke mistake. But he kept saying it was fine and that it would tone down after a couple of washings. The girls in the shop knew better. I had strands of hair with hard verticals stripes of colors not found in nature. There was nothing soft and subtle about it. I knew they felt terrible, but it was really out of their hands. I asked one of them if they would walk in to a job interview with this hair ( I have one scheduled), and she sadly shook her head. I hope my experience helps prevent others from making the same mistake. I was betting on the five star reviews, and learned the hard way. Tomorrow I go to a professional design studio to see if they can do anything to repair the damage.

I was passing thru ATL last week in need of some basic economical "Me" maintenance. Y'know: Hair…read moredone, Nails Done, Everything Done -- but on a traveling through budget? My hairdresser and usual nail salon were milles away. Plus I just hadn't taken time out for myself prior along with y'know, the whole Covid thing going on. This place was taking Walk Ins as well. Took me 2 days to complete due to scheduling conflicts but well worth it. First day I was greeted by the receptionist who was super nice and professional named Ashley. She kept me informed of wait times, prices and was very pleasant throughout. Next up was my barber Ms. Laura. She was also a Supervisor. She was fabulous. Totally knowledgeable of hair textures and barbering Techniques. Thank goodness bcuz I got that water and grease hair that can be difficult at the best of times, LOL. Fun Fact: Ms. Laura Little is also a Stand Up Comedian, Hostess, and Emcee in her off time. So you can get a fresh cut and book her for your next event too! Talk about a multi-tasker!! The following morning I went back to get my pedicure. Ms. Noi Nail Tech in training is off to a great start. She was knowledgeable and precise, very personable and attentive. When she gets her own shop one day she's going to be formidable. Now. One downside was Ms. Max. She's a supervisor there who came to inspect Ms. Noi's progress after she had completed the massage and moisturizer portion of the pedicure. Not before. When she came over, there was no greeting she just stated my toe nails were deformed. And that if she had looked at my feet before that she would have refused service. Look. I'll be the first to admit I've got weird looking toe nails (they slant weirdly in opposite directions..thank you military boots) but I took umbrage at her careless remarks especially since I saw no Podiatrist Certification hanging up anywhere. I'm totally aware that these are students and would not have minded if she had completed a foot examination on every client as they took off their shoes/sandals and socks. But that wasn't the case. So she gets 3 stars due to lack of consistency. All in all this Beauty School is gonna become my go to when I pass through and I'm looking forward to great things from these students and staff in the future.

Please read if you're interested in the NAIL TECHNOLOGY program. This school is a huge waste of…read moremoney. Attached is a photo of the nail kit you receive. You are paying over $3,000 for tuition and receive a $8 SHEIN nail kit. Not only is this the cheapest nail kit they could give us, but you're NOT allowed to use it for your practice. The tools provided are only for providing the school with your free labor. If you don't believe me, the SHEIN kit is proudly on display in the front area. Not only is the school cheap, the clients are disgusting. You will be doing pedicures on people who likely haven't washed their feet in the last three months. If you refuse to service them you will be clocked out and sent home. When it comes to sanitation and hygiene the school is lacking. I had to consistently ask for barbercide to sanitize my tools. They removed it from the floor and apparently "just rinsing the pedicure tub with soap and water" is good enough. Their autoclave doesn't work either. Attached is a photo of a desolate barbercide container and lack of sani spray bottle. It's likely the client floor will look like this on the daily. As far as a learning experience everything you do will be self-taught. The teachers do demos occasionally, but not often enough for you to build actual repetitions or confidence. It doesn't matter if you're confident or not. They made me take clients before I reached 150 hours. As far as my individual experience there is 0 consistency. They changed teachers on us mid semester, then changed school locations, then changed the dates and times you need to be in class. If you are just getting a license and want a cheap school this is the place for you. If you're a true beginner who knows nothing about nails, RUN.

I should…read morehave known from my very first day being given a tour of this "school" with bbq chairs & tables for their students that something wasn't quite right. However, the way the receptionist spoke to me & made me feel comfortable moving forward i decided to give it a shot. After my first payment to begin school, i had received a "school kit" which consists of 0 things that were beneficial to our daily use of items, as well as receiving the cheapest made "scrubs" we must wear to school everyday that never fit properly & i was very verbal about that & still did not receive a new one. I also had to wait for my books which we never used because we do have to purchase a text book that we do use everyday. We have a work room that consists of maybe 5-6 machines that 3-4 machines do NOT work properly if they even do work that is. We have absolutely 0 skincare products to use at the school. Actually we have NOTHING worth anyone coming in to receive "practice" on. Teachers get hired & fired every other week. There is no proper agenda scheduled on a daily basis for us to work with, you're pretty much on your own every single day. When we did have a teacher all we really did was read OUT LOUD out of the text book. This school is literally a JOKE. They're clearly in it for the money. On a month to month basis they will make sure you do not miss a payment nor are you late on a payment but lack EVERYTHING else. There is 0 COVID sanitation being covered. I am extremely in distraught after finally finishing my hours of doing absolutely nothing worth going to this school for, NO ONE in my class of 22 students feel comfortable going to take their state board exam. I also decided to reach out to one of my fellow classmates who has also confirmed not 1 person from our class passed a written exam on their first attempt, THAT ALONE goes to show how "great" this school is. On your school tour they will try to make you feel as confident & comfortable as you can possibly be, once you sign your contract THEY CAN CARELESS moving forward. As long as you sign in daily & clock out daily so that the school can receive their credit they don't care !!!! The absolutely worse decision i have made in life. I am an entrepreneur who has already built a foundation on my own doing what i love to do, i looked forward to learning more & becoming licensed. However, it turned out to be an extreme nightmare.
