I've been coming here for quite some time, usually for blowouts or a hair treatment with a blowout,…read moreand for the price, you really can't go wrong! Obviously, this is a cosmetology school, so you have to keep in mind that every experience may not be perfect. That being said, the instructors do check the students' work, and if there's something you're not happy with or want adjusted, you just need to speak up. They are very willing to correct things and make sure you're satisfied. I've never had a bad experience with scheduling. They are extremely accommodating, and I've even called the day before and been able to get an appointment. The prices for blowouts and treatments are so affordable, especially compared to a traditional salon. The biggest downside is that services can take longer than they would at a regular salon, so you definitely need to be willing to spend a little extra time there. For me, though, it's worth it. My hair is very blonde, so I need treatments pretty frequently, and coming here makes it much more affordable and convenient. They also offer coloring services, which I personally haven't tried yet. I'll admit I'd probably be a little more skeptical about having my color done at a school, but people definitely do it, and it's a great option if you're looking for a more budget-friendly way to get your hair colored. I also recently noticed that they've added facials and nail care to their services, which I'm really excited about! I haven't tried either one yet, but I definitely plan to. Overall, if you're looking for affordable beauty services and don't mind spending a little extra time, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. You can get a lot done here without spending salon prices!

I mean for a basic pedi.... And that's the only pedi available ......$20.00 was a great deal…read more..... the nail tech did a good job.... It did take 2 hrs.... But if you're patient and give the student an opportunity you are good.....the seating it's a bit awkward it's long seat and ur right next to other clients.... The seating is uncomfortable don't expect a salon massage chair.......the nail tech was very nice and patient. But will definitely do it again.....

I am a real person and these are real accounts of my experience…read more Yanna and Ms. Karen are absolute rockstars. I have paid up to four times than what I paid at IIOC for a 'less-than' result. I'm the type of person who does things like hair last minute because, on my days off, I have a lot to do (but I'm also an antsy person and I know it takes long). It. Was. Worth. It. When I called to make an appointment, they told me "walk-in's only on Saturday" so, naturally, I was there at 7:59AM expecting a line at the door. To my surprise, I was pleasantly greeted, taken to a chair within minutes and immediately consulted. Calling all humans with hair: go here. A lot of people are intimidated by the idea of going to get their hair done by anything less than a 'professional'. Good for them, go pay $80 for a trim. Prior to this, my best result was with a woman down south who taught hair at a cosmetology school before making the coveted leap to an "upscale" salon. She was awesome. I only have the one experience with Ms. Karen and Yanna, but Ms. Karen was very attentive the entire time. was truly involved in the teaching process and really understood what I wanted. (I'm not basic.. lol) Yanna comes from a long line of barbers and hair stylists. She is going to be one of the greats, because she cares. THIS is the best my hair has ever looked. Shout out to Becca too for helping with the foils and the color on the front hairline. Sure, my full foil took a little longer that usual, so if you aren't patient, bring a book and chill the F*ck out. Just mentally prepare yourself. I'd say it's like Padawan's learning from Jedi. Ms. Karen, I'll be back. Time WELL spent. Thank you all!

I guess they have a rule there if you complain about the results you're banned from the school!…read moreFirst complaint was an instructor who left me and Miss Karen had to fix it over the course of three visits. This was years ago. Second complaint another student left me while she went to the Finance office and Miss Karen was livid about it. Third complaint was a few weeks ago. I had asked for low and high lights and ended up with grayish tones throughout my hair so upon calling that Monday to ask if they could fix it, Miss Marie told me it's a school and I said what does that have to do with anything so I went in on Thursday and they put a blonde toner in and of course it was better than nothing compared to the way I left so beware if you even speak up about the service because you're not pleased, you will be asked to never come back, this is very unprofessional and if it's a school, then the students would have to learn just as if they worked in a real Salon, etc.. I had never left a review before because I didn't think it was necessary. I thought the School was handling it, but then I was told they were taking notes about me very childish and unprofessional upon trying to call the owner Mr. G who owns a very successful business in Rocky Hill he never returned my phone calls just had his reception take information and never got back to me! I also left an email for Martin G and he never responded. I'm not the first do your due diligence and gore reviews all over other platforms. Miss Marie has zero class and had Miss Pam tell me upon me leaving that I cannot come back there!

These students are good at what they do. Go and check them out. You won't be disappointed.read more

From the owner: Mansfield Beauty Schools has a history dating back to 1909 at 125 Tremont Street, Boston. The…read morefounder, Dr. Katherine Mansfield, was a practicing chiropodist who on a pleasure trip to Paris, France, had been exposed to innovations in hairdressing. Upon her return, she started giving demonstrations and lectures. Thus, the humble beginnings of Mansfield Beauty Schools. In 1955 our expansion began, with many locations including Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1958, and Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1962. In 1981, Mansfield Beauty Schools, under the ownership and vision of Daniel and Helene Dorian , became independent of the other schools and continue today in that vision. In order to maintain its position in the forefront of cosmetology education, the policy of Mansfield Beauty Schools remains one of involvement and participation in the Massachusetts Association of Cosmetology Schools, the American Association of Cosmetology Schools, the Massachusetts Financial Aid Association and the National Direct Student Loan Coalition.

Fun too. I highly recommend this business, not only as a school, but also as a *wonderful* place to go for your beauty services! The reduced prices are such a good deal & customers and walking have nothing worry about, as the teachers are there to oversee all that goes on. I've been in for a pedicure, and today for a gel manicure, makeup & curls. My daughter did my highlights & cut at home several weeks ago. I highly recommend the International Institute of Cosmetology as an educational institution and also for anyone looking for professional beauty services at more affordable prices.

Had to go to urgent care with chemical burns on her hand and in her lungs. She needed steroid cream for her hands and a steroid. Inhaler, later, needing to go to urgent care for heart palpitations. When we called asking what was used in the perm? We didn't get answers until long after we were back home from urgent care. Now we learn, they're trying to kick out a student who kicks the bus to and from school and is five minutes late. My daughter really wanted to become a hairstylist. Now she does not! They also allowed a teacher, two teachers, actually, one who screamed across the floor yeah, I did tell you to shut up to a student. That teacher and the one who called my daughter. An idiot are still employed there.
