    Eating my lunch with my new do'
    Charleen A.

    I LOVED my entire experience at IM Beauty School. My sister told me about Tony and Isabella after letting her know I needed a glow up. We quickly made an appointment with Tony. He was able to work with my thick, coarse hair and gave me exactly what I wanted based off of my inspiration photos and my budget. He truly is a master stylist not only in the way he was able to lift my hair from my natural black to an ashy blonde, but to the way he blended my butterfly layers, fixed my DIY bangs, and took the heavy load off my shoulders by magically thinning to create more flow and lightness to my style. While I waited for my hair to "cook," the staff there was incredibly kind and accommodating offering a water, coffee, and even snacks while I waited. I HIGHLY recommend them for any beauty needs and also for schooling! I saw Tony in action training a student and they were patient with them and always explaining in depth the process and the why. The salon was clean, the staff was knowledgeable and professional. I felt welcomed and comfortable as soon as I stepped in. I was incredibly impressed with it all and obviously LOVE my glow-up! Thanks Tony, Isabella, and Kay!

    Such an amazing facility that offers a wide array of services as well as schools/ learning options. I want to see this business do well, as the employees and owner are such sweet people. You can tell everyone is skilled and passionate! They offer many different certificates and licensing opportunities and classes. Very clean and cute school, I came here for an event and I see myself coming back for different services! I had a facial, which was succhhh a treat! I came right after a long work day and I was so relaxed I fell asleep for part of the facial!! The facials massage and neck massage are my favorite, it was an hour of pampering. Highly highly recommend giving them a try! Can't wait to be back for my next service.

    I got a gel change (removing my old gel polish and getting new gel polish). I absolutely loved the results and it was $25 which is a great price! Esther did my nails, and she was really nice. I'm definitely coming back!

    Hate to write this. Been coming for YEARS. But now two bad experiences…read more 1. Went for a keretin. Absolutely did not take (I have had many) Went back for a second one and same thing. They must have not perfected that service yet. OK I ate the cost of that. 2. Had a 1:30 appoitment. Thy sent me TWO confirmations. I show up at 1:30 told it would be a 15 minute wait. Ok. I had taken off a half day of work so that was fine. At 1:50 I am told there is no one here to do the service. After I toll time off! I was offered a "conditioner" next time. I was booked for color. Don't need a conditioner. I said "how about half off color next time" Nope. Can't do that. So I had to leave. I know it is a school but I had an APPOINTMENT--please CALL next time before I head over and miss work and certainly don't act like it is my problem and I should accept the gift of a servie I do not want or need. Unacceptable

    I just got my hair cut yesterday, and I'm super happy with it!…read more The last time I was here it was not called John Amico School, so it has been a while. It looks so much nicer inside than last time I was there! It doesn't feel as outdated anymore. My hair is very long so I couldn't sit in the chair for my cut, and Cayla did an awesome job! She was thorough and l left with shiny, healthier looking hair :) They have little QR codes posted around the stations, but I forgot to scan it before I left, so I wanted to make sure to leave a review here! Thanks for the haircut Cayla, my hair looks SO much healthier now!

    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.

I've never seen rude or unprofessional behavior from any of the teachers. I've seen unprofessional behavior from some students occasionally but the teachers put a stop to it. After all this is a school and btw has a top rating from the state of Illinois. I looked into it before my granddaughter went to school there. They were extremely helpful in making sure she knew her stuff and was ready for the state boards. If you want this type of career you won't find a better school but like anything worth having you will have to work at it , but you won't find a better school to make sure you succeed!

    Just moved too far away from the Chicagoland area to save my haircuts for Shana. Someone in Philly…read morewill have big shoes to fill, and I don't know if they ever could! I have been going and spreading the gospel of Shana for all the years since my last review. Because I moved to St Louis and then covid ruined my year in Chicago, I didn't get to have many haircuts with her in the past six years, but I did when I could, and the few times I've had to settle for an emergency haircut elsewhere (Chicago Chinatown, flushing new york, etc) , no one was good as her. To me, what makes her incredibly special is how great my hair can look without any effort. I am a very low maintenance person, and no one else has ever given me a haircut that looks great just by me air drying my hair lazily. Plus, if I let my hair grow out, it somehow maintains some semblance of shape for a long, long time. How!! It's magic. Nowhere else have I been able to get this. Sure this is just one person's low maintenance needs. But honestly it's a big ask for a stylist - give me a nonboring haircut, but I don't want it to look like crap when I don't style it. No one else has been able to do achieve that for me. And from the time I've spent in the waiting area/waiting for my hair to dye, etc, and seeing other clients come through, it is clear Shana strives to understand each person's needs individually. And of course she's always offering advice based on each person (that you should always listen to!) All the things I said in my previous review are true still, she is of course a skilled technician. But also magical, to me at least. And I know it's just hair! But it was always great knowing I could always rely on Shana for a great haircut, and this void has been hard to fill now that I moved. Everyone should go to Shana, especially if you have thick Asian hair like me!

    The staff is very friendly and hardworking. Shana knows what she is doing when it comes to hair and…read moreshe makes my hair so stylish...! After the cut and the digital perm, she taught me how i can maintain my hairstyle.
