Because we get impeccable, attentive service for hours at a time--at a fraction of the cost of other places. They offer various services, but we've especially taken advantage of the hair and facial treatments. People may be hesitant to let students work on their hair, but hair grows back. And honestly, I've found that so-called 'mistakes' often end up with even better results. No one has ever actually messed up our hair. My daughter is braver than I am--one year, she got her hair colored on the day of prom. The color wasn't exactly what she'd visualized, but she rolled with it. We both understand that these are students learning by experience, and we can't expect them to be pros. They try their best, and instructors guide them along. The instructors are experienced professionals who have graduated, worked in the field for a while, and now teach the right techniques. For example, one student was nervous about cutting my hair into many layers. So the instructor took over and chopped away--exactly what I wanted. When you go for hair services, plan on spending half the day there. You need patience so they can do their best work. If you come in with high expectations and rush them, things may not end well. It's a very laid-back environment. Honestly, I could have sat in the chair while my stylist washed my hair all day long. They could have stopped right there and taken my money just for the head massage. I encourage you to try them out. It's obvious people are mostly happy with the results--they stay booked. The facials are scheduled in time frames, and I recommend the 90-minute one. You'll keep going back!

During my visit recent hair appt., my student wasn't able to finish in time and another student stepped in, which felt confusing for them and suggested some unclear expectations from the educators. You're not asked to tip, but donations toward the students' education are welcomed. At $22 for a trim and wash, it's hard to beat, especially if you have long or thick hair. Be prepared to spend several hours, though. They offer small samples of tea and water, which is a nice touch. The environment is very crowded and could benefit from more space; my student was repeatedly bumped into, which isn't ideal when scissors are involved. I also felt some uncertainty around tool sanitation and overall tool quality, though it was hard to tell whether that fell on the students or the school. Overall, it's a great option if affordability is your priority and you're comfortable with a learning environment. I'd rate it a solid 3-4 stars.

She got very disgruntled when she found out that I had been voice recording her so that I could prove the way that she had been treating me, after she found out she continuously told me it was illegal which it was not and that I needed to be removed from the school and that I was lying about the reason I needed to transfer schools, she asked where I was living why I couldn't drive to the other one and literally blamed me for lying multiple times when I was not. I have a great relationship with my previous schools teachers I had just moved further away and thought that it would be an easier commute. After posting my review on their Facebook page, A cosmetology instructor I had nor seen nor met that day. Will not stop commenting on Facebook and talking bad about me and posting my private information she obtained off of my personal documents. She's telling everyone how many schools I've been to how many hours I have obtained and blaming me for not being able to finish hair school and pursue my career. I'm being harassed and I am being bullied by elderly women and this is not right. I have turned them into state board and we will see how long they hold their license. I will not standby and be harassed and talked down to buy older women because they do not understand how to work a computer program. This business is absolutely atrocious I understand why they don't have any students enrolled. My previous cosmetology school gave me a full ride scholarship to complete if I make the extra commute to them after what I had to deal with from the school. If they do not stop the harassment I will be seeking legal action against them as well for harassment and personal exploitation.

I would attend just about any school before going here, and here's why:…read more If you're considering going to Miller-Motte in order to make a better future for yourself, please do as much research as possible. Not all schools are created equally nor are the instructors who ultimately hold huge sway in the likelihood of your success. A lot of reviewers take time to discuss accreditation. This review is not going to be one of them, but that's an important topic as well considering that many reviewers attempted to transfer credit earned at MMTC to another school and were unable to do so. Please check into where you can take your credits, especially if you are Military personnel or a dependent and are going to relocate prior to your graduation. I attended their massage therapy school and initially felt good about that decision. The people who were responsible for enrolling me were kind and helpful and seemed to be genuinely interested in the success of their students. It wasn't until I was well into the program that I began to second guess everything. First off, the scheduling for the LMT students is extremely inflexible. If you have a full time job and are the primary breadwinner of your household, you're gonna have a bad time (quoting the South Park meme, here). The reason for this is is because the classes run from about 8 in the morning until between 2 p.m. and 7:30 at night. You will be going at a minimum of 6 hours/day 5 days/week and depending on the class will be given ample amounts of homework, making this essentially a full time job. This is doable if you have a lot of grant/loan money to make up the difference for missed work while you're in the program or have a spouse who can support you while you're completing the program, but if you are already working a 50 hour a week job, have nobody to help you and are a single parent doing all of this, you will struggle. I won't mention names, but I met at least a couple of women who were working minimum wage jobs full time as single parents who had to drop out, were sleeping in class because of the grueling schedules they kept and who not only had no support from the faculty, but who were bad-mouthed in class by their instructors to other students. I witnessed this firsthand; the instructors were ridiculing these students during class and were marking down their grades with little to no explanation. Two instructors who work at the Clarksville, TN campus, one of which still works there, were particularly problematic. It didn't matter how much you applied yourself, how dedicated you were as a student: if they didn't like you as a person, you would get D's and C's. You would get disciplined for anything and everything while other students whom they liked slept during class, came in late, and acted generally disrespectful. I realize that some students don't take their education seriously and deserve the low GPA, but I'm not talking about these people. There is a genuine lack of professionalism with Miller-Motte's faculty and I would go so far as to call some of the instructors bullies. For example: one woman in our Swedish Massage class was called out for needing to use the bathroom "too often"; the same instructor made sarcastic, snide comments in front of us over anything and everything she did. If she did what every other student does and had a snack in class, she was called out for it. If she was late like every other student was from time to time, she suffered more serious consequences. When the director was informed, she tried to help, but it was impossible to convey the seriousness of what was happening when it was so hard to prove. But we saw what was going on; we just kept our heads down and said nothing because we were afraid of our GPAs being affected. Another instructor made a huge scene over a student over god knows what; she said she "felt disrespected" by them, but they were being quiet in class, doing their work, and didn't say much. Apparently, it was the fact that she "wasn't providing enough feedback in class" that irked the instructor, so for the remainder of the year, she was targeted for arbitrary and completely irrelevant reasons. This, again, while the more favored students could be late, loud and inconsiderate, have their late attendance overlooked and so on. I tried to take my complaints to Academic Affairs after the stress of being in such an unhealthy, unprofessional environment began to take its toll on my ability to even focus in class, but was dismissed largely because I wasn't directly involved. Now that I'm licensed and out of there, however, I feel like I have an obligation to speak out so that others who spend thousands of dollars and invest so much time, energy and effort to try and build a better future for themselves aren't jeopardized. Avoid this school if you can.

So let me start off by saying that I WILL be returning to this place. My three star review is based…read moreoff of some things that happened that really have nothing to do with how my hair ultimately turned out. The hair first: so I got a cut and color. I am very nervous and picky when it comes to my hair color especially. I've had some bad experiences and don't like to have further bad experiences! Admittedly, I wanted my dark blonde hair lifted to a pale neutral blonde (very light, but not white - still blonde). This sounds easy because my natural color is already fairly light, but blonde is complicated. I also wanted a short pixie cut, which ALSO isn't the easiest thing to do. Taylor did my hair along with the help of an instructor, and I think she made a really good effort. It took an extremely long time, and that's something you need to be aware of before going to this place. These are students who are learning through doing, so it takes them longer. That was fine with me, but I was a bit bothered by the multiple lectures I got that basically amounted to a bunch of excuses as to why they couldn't get the look I was describing. This even happened when I mentioned and showed pictures of this look having been done successfully on previous occasions at my old salon. I've had short pale blonde hair (when I didn't let it grow out to my natural) for about 16 years now. This exact color has been successfully done on my head hundreds of times. Now...even if it's true that hair color can turn out differently or not take properly from one time to the next....first of all, that isn't my experience, and secondly, I don't think they should be blaming the color not working out on the customer's hair. They're the stylists and control the color application. I'm ultimately pretty happy with my hairstyle. I may update if need be after I wash my hair and style on my own, but as of immediately after the appointment, even though I'm exhausted I gotta say it looks pretty epic. So I'm pleased with that. Some additional things I want to mention though that contributed to my three star review: 1. Again, it took an extremely long time. Two visits. Probably around 8 hours in total. This actually isn't why I'm only rating three stars, because I expected the longer time, but I have to say both times left me utterly exhausted, I think because I had to go without eating for a very long time. This may not be an issue for everyone, but I have some medical conditions and this was very taxing for me. 2. Speaking of medical things, I also got injured while there. The student next to Taylor dropped her iPad pretty forcefully on my shoulder because she got excited over her mom calling. It WAS an accident, but it hurt so bad I struggled against crying for nearly half an hour. The pain is still really bad and between that and the exhaustion I am feeling from the length of time this took, I've been fighting nausea and more tears tonight. I also have a pretty nasty bruise forming. My pain tolerance is NOT low - I have Ehlers-Danlos and have dislocated my shoulder with less pain than this, but I think because the iPad landed right onto the bulk of the muscle at the top of my shoulder this bruised really deeply. I tried to take it in stride because I don't think she realized how badly she hurt me, but then this same person tossed out my coffee (which was on Taylor's station, not hers!). I'm pretty sure that was when I showed some real irritation, because I was in pain AND had no coffee. When I said something about it she gave me $5 for the coffee, but the entire thing left me feeling really off balance. Plus, I'm just hoping my shoulder is ok. Overall, I would recommend this place. There are things to work on there, but the people are very friendly and the atmosphere is upbeat. I will be going back, and probably next time just take more snacks with me. And hopefully not get hurt again!

This was my first experience with the Paul Mitchell school. Not my first time going to a beauty…read moreschool for services as I frequently went to Aveda school in Cool Springs when I lived closer. I decided to go for a leg wax today. With this service, you are unfortunately not able to book with a more experienced student like the other services. My student, Tiffany, was very nice but you could tell she was extremely uncomfortable, and not confident in waxing. I should've paid attention to that first red flag. It went downhill quickly from there. She struggled with the wax temp,but anyone could've had that issue. First problem was the wax was not hot enough, so she struggled to spread it on my leg. Then she would place wax on several areas without placing a strip, so the wax hardened. She was getting frazzled and letting me know. On my back thigh she put a large amount of wax and then the strip. Again it sat too long, so when she went to remove it, it was STUCK!! She was in a panic to get it off and kept apologizing to me. I tried to help by showing her what most places do to remove it. It did not work. After a good almost 8-10 minutes she ran out saying she needed her teacher. The instructor came in and tried to calm her down. They then worked together to try and get the strip off. She kept telling Tiffany it was fine and the customer "doesn't care because they know we are a school". Well this customer was worried about what was going on. They finally got the strip off, then the teacher told me I will have a bad bruise but they won't wax that area anymore and opted for tweezers. They asked me if this ever happened before and I quickly said NO.! I've been getting waxed for 30yrs and never had this happen. My waxing of just my thighs took almost 2 HOURS! Normally I'm in/out of wax appointments in 30min. What gets me is that I know at Aveda the instructors check consistently on the students through each process. This DID NOT happen for my appointment. This never should've happened. Tiffany, again very sweet, was not confident at all. It was obvious from the beginning. Her instructor, Kelly, never should have allowed her to do this unsupervised. I figured because I left with wax still stuck on my thighs, and a large bruise in the shape of a wax strip, that they would not charge me. NOPE! Not only was I charged, but when checking out they asked how it was and I told them, there was no apology from the manager. I will not ever go and get a haircut there, and now I'm leery about a mani/pedi. Sadly this was a 1 and done place for me. It's not worth the savings.
