She usually gets her hair washed and blown dry. She has also had other procedures as well. She knows most of the people that work there and has great relationships with them. *I have been there a few times and have always been satisfied. *Recently I had a Facial and a Back Facial (F & BF) with Terri Borough. I have had a few F & BF before, but this one was spectacular. Terri Borough did a wonderful job. She is warm, friendly and knows what she is doing. She explained to me beforehand what she would be doing and in what order. I find it helpful to know what is going on. Her touch and technique were superb. She also recommended a few products for my face & skin. I will definitely book Terri again, soon. I highly recommend Terri.

I'm going to say this to EVERYONE reading the reviews and I really hope everyone catches this…read moreparticular review. The individuals in this cosmetology program are learning students. They entered this program to get them ready for their field of practice. That being said, they make do with what they've been taught, what they have, and still do a great job. They're in the school's lab all day a few days out of the week, super early in the morning and out pretty late in the day. Furthermore, the cost of what you so called clients are paying for these services are a very very small fraction of what you'd be paying for a professional service. You either have to know that when you agree to come in, or you're completely tone deaf. For any of you entitled assholes being rude to these students, talking down to them, or coming in with this expectation that they should bow down to you - fvck all the way off and take your nasty, smelly, funky ass somewhere else. You should be ASHAMED of yourselves coming into a place like this with your crap ego. No amount of work will fix the ugly person you are inside. These students and teachers work their asses off and deserve respect.

The hands on learning, and daily practice alongside my classmates and teachers have definitely helped me learn and excel at the basics, while touching on trending nail designs with guest teachers and special nail art classes throughout the course.

A plus is that we get Apres Gel-X certified while enrolled in the class, as this school is partnered with Apres. A1 beauty school

So I go to school at KC Beauty Academy and we had Melissa visit us today. First of all, she speaks…read moreto students like they don't know what they're doing and it was incredibly condescending and inappropriate. You're speaking to grown adults, please treat us like that. We are not children you can speak down to. SECONDLY! She kicked a student out after asking her a question that the student didn't agree with her on. This student didn't challenge her knowledge, didn't disrespect her, but she was confused with the answer she was given because after years of experience it contradicted what she's been told. So this student took the time to look up the information and so Melissa kicked her out of the demo. If you challenge this women she will disrupt the demo and kick you out. I've never met anyone in the professional industry with such a power trip. Awful , awful experience. I am appalled that this women would express her power in such an inappropriate way. Learn and do better, Melissa.

To Preston's response…read more There was ABSOLUTELY NO MISUNDERSTANDING. Sherry and Jume told my daughter EXACTLY the same thing it's an advanced class and she would have to pay EXTRA! Regardless of my daughter having her license, she was poorly taught, she would have to ask the teachers to be taught, myself, my husband and my daughter had to go in to talk to Sherry about her not being taught and Jume was a part of the conversation. Her teaching lasted 2 WEEKS! Then the teachers got lazy again and she would have to ASK to be taught. Her getting her license has nothing to do with the school but everything to do with me teaching her! Your comment really upset me, I get you're trying so hard to keep your Integrity, but it doesn't negate the fact that the teachers are lazy!

The place is chill, just a bunch of people learning the trade and happy to talk about their experiences. $5 to the shop, $10 for tip, and I'm getting as good of a cut as I would elsewhere for less than half the cost, plus I'm helping someone out! I love it when everyone wins, and I'll certainly be back again soon! :)

I'm grateful for everything she's done and highly recommend this school to anyone looking to start their barbering journey.

Super hostile with an overbearing 'teacher'…read more I had a scheduled facial here but left before the service started and did not proceed with the appointment. The intake process felt disorganized and unclear. There were multiple staff involved (including a supervising instructor and a student and others), but communication was indirect and not clearly explained at the start. I was asked for basic information through multiple people instead of being addressed directly, which made the check-in feel awkward and unstructured. None of this was communicated before hand. Facials are quite direct and a comfortable experience for a client. The environment felt uncoordinated and not what I expected based on the booking and messaging beforehand, so I chose to leave and forfeit the deposit.

The person servicing my feet used the drill bit so long that she really thinned out my nails & caused injury & intolerable pain, I almost asked her to leave those toes blank. But I also didn't want to leave with an incomplete service or take away her learning opportunity. It was extremely hard to communicate with them because of the language barrier, it was helpful when the teachers would come over & guide & also be a translator when these issues arose. The vibe overall was fine, the seating where we were guided was pretty uncomfortable set up wise, I felt like I was bending like a pretzel and was very unstable. My manicure came with my gel stuck to my fingers and lots of cuts, bubbles in my nails, and even hair. The sanitization wasn't the best either, tools were continually dropped and continued to be used. I also noticed dirty gloves on clean surfaces. I'd come back to try other things but I'm a bit unsettled by my nails experience. I also came aware that I would be getting services by students, so I completely understand the learning curves. I think the teachers could've stepped in more and supported, guided, corrected, and maybe even shown or done the procedure partially to give more guidance.
