I would definitely recommend having a facial done. Just keep in mind that the students are hands on experiencing as clients come. I have NEVER been disappointed with any service I have had there. I will definitely have all my beauty needs done here. Also my nail tech Daila was just as incredible, I just did a simple gel nail polish and it was nice too. Everyone there is so nice and friendly. I'm looking forward to more " me time" in the near future. I highly recommend this for anyone that needs some self-love .

You absolutely, hands down cannot find a better deal than their steam towel facials for $15. They last an hour and make you feel wonderful. I almost hate putting it in my review for fear the amazing secrete will get out!!

I am most grateful to Taya, my hairstylist and Shayla, the instructor who took good care of me…read moreduring my visit last week. I paid close attention to their team work. I loved how professional Shayla was while instructing Taya on how to apply relaxer to my hair. I loved how attentive Taya was to the instructions and how well she carried them out. As a result of their teamwork, I did not experience any chemical burns or discomfort. Shayla, the Instructor was very knowledgeable about my haircare process and I totally appreciate that. If I had children who were interested in a career in Cosmetology, I would HIGHLY recommend Shayla as a Professional Haircare Instructor and Taya as a Hairstylist!

The girl Lupita started washing my hair in ice cold water then when she finally added the shampoo she didn't scrub my scalp she literally patted the shampoo in then started rinsing literally took her 2 minutes to "wash" my hair. She didn't use any conditioner nor did she detangle my hair. She didn't know how to blow dry. My hair was extremely damped she literally tried to flat iron my hair wet until I stopped her and asked her if she realized my hair was still wet she decided to sit there and play dumb. Literally left the shop looking crazy by the head hair wasn't even flat iron at all. She also didn't use any hair protector! They need better instructions that are actually hands on and need to teach them on to work on textured hair. Took her 2 1/2 hours just for my hair to look terrible. She literally played in my head.

Leilani, who was halfway through training, did very well; the instructor only needed to do a few touch-ups. However, between the shampoo and the hair softener, my hair got oily and I had to wash it again that evening.

Brought my sister-in-law here to prepare for homecoming. My…read moresister-in-law got a OPI no chip manicure a custom one hour facial paraffin wax and eyebrow wax with Lauren Johnson I believe. I got a pedicure and one hour facial with Miranda Acosta. The facilities of this location are very nice and clean but of course it is a typical school and there is less privacy then what you expect in a salon still it's better than most schools I have gone to. Parking is really easy as there is a huge parking lot around the building. Value - Value here is pretty good with the exception of the manicure if they didn't have the know chip special it would have cost the exact same as what you find in a professional salon. Service - From my sister-in-law's experience Lauren J. was absolute fantastic and helped make her 1st spa trip a pleasant one. Unfortunately my technician was Miranda A. and I did not enjoy the services as much. Part of the issue was a light effort to get me intrested in a mlm program she does called Mellaluca and not completing the full spa pedicure but listed I rcvd it as a service. I did not receive nail filing, foot or leg mask or hot towels. Had to straighten that out at the front desk. The spa facial was okay, I don't think anything was skipped but the steps weren't explained and there wasn't any questions about skin type so I am not sure. Overall front desk was great and my SIL had a great time so I would be happy to try this again.

I would have to say my experience was absolutely horrible. I said one sentence while they were…read moredoing my hair. They then refused to finish the other half of my hair. Claimed that I was micromanaging after saying only one sentence. I haven't had my hair done in 20 years. I chose to finally do it and I absolutely regret it. They were very rude to me for no reason and left me with white/gray/yellow/black/dark purple and brown in my hair. Mind you my hair was originally brown to begin with. I was supposed to only get black and purple highlights/streaks and black underneath my hair and instead ended up with A variety of colors and looking probably 20 years older because of the gray and white. Would not recommend especially if you have a question. They will say your micromanaging and refuse to finish half way through.

WORST. Staff was so RUDE. I am not even talking students they are ok. So as of right now…read morebooking an appointment is awful. You have to talk to a zillion people to get on the schedule. There is no main book at the. Desk or computer. They are booked out for two months to do facials. And can't promise anything. They need to be available for the student but can't tell you when they can do or able to book on what days. They definitely need some system. Inside 5 people who want to help kids get through and can't book anything. I want mens and women's. Hair, nails ,mani ,pedi ,facial , waxing, and they can't even help with schedules. I have been to several schools in the past and this by far is the most un organized one. I have cold called and booked with strangers in the past. Why is this so difficult. They are definitely not where you want to send anyone as a student. I also had a service and they did not ever look or see what they were doing. The teacher also just to it upon her self to do part of the service and not educate as they did it. The staff has very angry attitudes and not friendly at all. They are mean and nasty. I felt like she was bothered by having to talk to me. I was also told no service they have other students to do their work on. So if you plan on going don't. There is a nice one in Crystal lake off of 176 check them out.

Do not get manicure here. Wanted to support school and students so made appt online for manicure…read more After waiting, they assigned me to someone else than whom I was supposed to have. Their selection of polish is minimal and the color I selected had lint in it which the student had to remove several times. She put so many layers on that after I left, it got smeared so badly that I removed polish after getting home. They have no nail dryers. Also, be aware they don't accept cash and although their website says no tipping, that isn't true. No teacher came to check what student did as it says on website. Won't go back for other services after this.
