Of course these are students but they are guided and under the direction of their Educators! I was warmly greeted by the receptionist and April my esthetician. After getting my wrap on which was one of the first that I've felt truly covered in, she had me sit and washed my feet which is a really nice touch. My facial was amazing. Not only did she work wonders on my face, but also massaged my head, shoulders and feet and calves. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep during all of this. April explained everything she was doing and using. She stretched my arms afterward. I was able to tell her Educator what a great job she did and then she showed me some of the products she'd used. I wasn't pressured at all to buy anything. The salon is clean, well lit and inviting. I will definitely be back.

I will update to say that there were two instructors this time in Metairie that were very keen, very kind, and attempted to be present. So, I returned to Metairie to correct my previous visit where there was a weird dark brown streak of hair going down the back of my head from a previous mistake (where the too-dark colour apparently dripped, unbeknownst to me, until I arrived home and looked at the back in the mirror). But this time it was so much worse....this time I got neon yellow hair with orange streaks, and painful blisters from sitting in bleach for 3 hours. I look like a clown. I should have kept the dark brown skunk strip and just hidden it in a ponytail or something. Lesson learned. Now I have to go for Round 3 - after the blisters heal, and pray my hair doesn't fall out. I will never cheat on my Covington location again, I swear!

I understand it is a school and the students are learning but in no way should I be told WHAT it is I could do different next time when I only put heat to my hair once a year . I give the whole experience a 2/10 not a since person took accountability or apologized .
