She was very gentle that I tried to relax but the the environment settings was that great as she was getting interrupted by other classmates. The background noise was so loud that it was hard to fully relax during my treatment. As future professionals they should learn how to respect another's classmates treatment processe. But overall the care and treatment the esthetician provided left my skin feeling rejuvenate 10/10 will book with her in a quiet setting.

I asked when I can stop by the school for a tour of their premises and I was told by the manager: You cannot coming and see the school unless you register for the program, I said well I will like to see the school before making a decision, I've already saw one school and I have an appointment next week to see another school, I just want to make sure I'm making the right decision that's why I will like to go see the school before committing to a program if possible. Managers reply's to me: "there is no need for me to go look at their school, what I need to do is make up my mind since it seems I'm not sure of what I want, when you know what you want gives us a call." And she hang up the phone on me. This type of behavior is unacceptable and very disrespectful!

The receptionist / instructor and the girl who did my hair were both very nice and professional. Before I went my hair color was very uneven and my roots had grown out a few inches. After they did my hair it looked a little brassy so I wasn't sure if I liked it but after it dried it looked amazing. It was a beautiful blonde color and all even. I'll definitely be going here from now on to get my hair done.

Ms. Parks executive director and Ms. Candace are bias individuals so they select who they will help and who they will not! The rules are per person meaning they only apply or bend for certain people! They suspended me For telling another student "Don't take my clips" no confrontation took place. Today I heard Ms. Candace say "Thank God she is graduating" because she is rude and I filed several complaints on her! Furthermore, she says these things to other students creating a hostile atmosphere for me and other students like me! These women enjoy picking on and bullying their students and staff and this is why their teachers keep quitting! Ms. Candace also writes up her teachers for having family members come in to have their hair cut by students but yesterday had her own family member in there doing the same exact thing! They told students my business which was confidential information to add insult to injury! When trying to conduct a service with client teachers force their students to do it their way even if it goes against everything they taught us in the classrooms just to have a power trip or make you look like an incompetent stylist! This school was the worst experience ever and I hate that I have to pay a tuition after even on my graduation day having to deal with the hateful staff members!

I got the best haircut I can remember ever getting here tonight…read more I paid $50 for a haircut in the East Village and it never looked good...it took a few weeks to get it to not look like a wig, and I have been wearing a hat everywhere until I went here. I used to go to Model Barbers until they raised their prices like $15 in the last year. Miguel did an amazing job. I avoid getting my hair cut because it always looks like garbage, but I was stunned at how well he did the front/top and he left a little mullet in the back as I asked. I seriously cannot recommend this place (I've come here before and walked away happy) and Miguel highly enough.

CMAD was the best place to resharpen my skills as well as learn new techniques. Ruthie and Johnny are honestly the most helpful mentors/teachers I've ever had. They are so patient and genuinely want you to win along side them in this cut throat industry. Although this recent pandemic has slowed a lot of things down, they also have taught me the correct proper sanitizing etiquette when working with a client. I highly 1000% recommend this school, it contains the best programs with a price point you can't beat in NYC.

While both are extremely talented, I really appreciated Ruthie's eye for color, product placement, and breaking down face structures. This is essential (and a great tool) when entering the makeup artistry field, and it's something I still use to this very day! Jonny's attention to detail, hair styling and airbrush skills are comparable to none! He is truly talented! Lastly, what left me truly impressed is their ability to quickly change teaching directions to tailor the students. They can quickly identify your strengths, weaknesses and help you use them to your advantage, ultimately making you a better artist. I cannot thank them enough! I highly recommend!

I definitely would not recommend this establishment for learning cosmetology or as a venue to purchase beauty services.
