I got a relaxer last time, but this time my hair was (mostly) natural and I wanted to keep it that way. I requested a natural hair process of wash, dry, and trim. I had a style picture sample to show them too. My stylist (Tranise? Denise? Raynisa?)was more of a novice in need of supervision this time than my previous stylist, who was mostly there to accrue hours. She was friendly and approachable. As with my last service, I paid FIRST, word of warning to those who go. Not sure what the return/exchange policy is there for very unsatisfied customers. The atmosphere was upbeat and supportive, with my signs encouraging smiling and positivity. There seemed to be the same supply issues, however, of equipment missing, misplaced, or unavailable. I was told a diffuser would be used to keep my curl while drying, but no one seemed to have one. After a mishap or two (too much product, had to rinse it out) I was placed under the dryer but no additional conditioner was applied to my hair. I should have requested it but really should I have to? I got some good advice on maintenance, and I got the style that I wanted too. When I am more comfortable handling my hair I will go back, maybe bring some equipment/product just in case.

I've had the pleasure of knowing and learning from Nika for the past several years Most recently, I…read moretook her bridal detailing class and bridal business class offered through Chicago Beauty Exchange. I was so excited looking forward to the class because I knew it would be a great learning experience for me. Nika is one of those rare teachers that does not hold back when she is explaining or teaching you something. She will literally tell you all that she knows. And she doesn't get annoyed by people who ask a million questions (that's me). I'm in a season of my career that I'm trying to take things to the next level, and her class was the perfect class for me to take at the right time. I am a nerdy makeup artist who happens to have an advanced college degree. Nika appeases that side of me because she brings in a lot of her background in the arts when she teaches. She knows a lot about bone structure and color theory and is very knowledgeable about that world and how it translates to makeup. She just doesn't explain the what, she explains the how which, for a person like me, is how I really learn things. Nika is also very honest. Earlier in my career she gave me a very intense critique that gave me a lot to work on and helped to push me farther along on my journey. Nika has inspired me to work on my business plan, website, logo, know my way around legal issues, make quality connections, how to brand myself and to really dream long term about where I want my career to go. She doesn't discourage you but she empowers and encourages you to fulfill your potential. After taking her class, I have enough on my to do list to keep me busy for the next year, at least. And my confidence has increased that the goals and dreams that I have in my heart are actually reachable. She also spills her guts when it comes to her makeup application techniques which is so helpful. A lot of artists may leave out one or two most important steps in their technique that really perfects it. Or they will act like something they are doing is simple and common knowledge and gloss over it, when it is something they had to work to perfect. Not Nika. She is very open and sincerely interested in helping others become better at what they do. She explains her step by step and doesn't hold back on her products that she uses. I am very glad to have crossed her path and I plan to take more classes from her in the future.

If I could give this school a 0 star rating I would. I attended this school and have decided to…read moreleave a review only because I had so many bad experiences while attending this school. A few teachers care about their students and some don't...... Good school to get your license because its straightforward with the process, but the the teachers and mainly the directer Jim are who make this school such a bad school. There were several times the school was unprofessional with their students. Lack of professionalism needs to be worked on. I remember one time Jim* the owner of the school spoke loudly to me telling him I hadn't paid the bill for the month. I was ok with him reminding me but very unprofessional he said that loudly in front of 30 other students and the whole class turning around hearing our conversation . Very unprofesional. The director constantly told me that I wasn't qualified to be a cosmetologist and that I should quit. IM attending this school to learn and am not looking for anyones approval whether I am qualified to be a cosmetologist or not. Seems like instead of encouraging students to improve them they try to put them down to get more money from them. He will try to make you feel pressured where you will make decisions where it will benefit him. There is also favoritism which I experienced while I attended this school. Teachers are only happy for you when you're done in this school because that's probably the last time they will see your face. I had many bad experiences at this school but I got my license. Cheap? yes. Will you learn much? Not really just the basics. Advice ignore whatever Jim tries to tell you whether you're not a good cosmetologist etcetera. I am not someone to judge someone else but while I attended this school I experienced very negative energy from the director. Hopefully Bell Mar Beauty College works on having a more positive and encouraging environment for students and can provide a better experience in the upcoming years.

AMAZING class! It was a color class, and let me say I felt like I learned more in the three hours I was there then I learned in school. The instructors of the class were Patty Lehr, Lynn Griglin, and Darlene Burnham... There aren't words to describe how amazing these three women are. They were willing and they took the time to answer any questions that we had and they answered them in a respectful and professional way without making us feel bad about having to ask a question. After the class we were able to stop in the wholesale shop which has a HUGE selection of wholesale Professional Salon Products, from Bracoto, to Paul Mitchell, to you name it and they probably had it. On top of having an awesome merchandised shop the staff here in 'The Space' were so extremely knowledgeable about the products they are selling in their store. You do have to be a Licensed professional in order to buy from this store, but that is not a problem at all. Now Rockdale is quite a drive for me but I say it is 500% worth the drive for the class as well as the customer service and the positive energy you get from just being around such great people. I look forward to taking more classes as well as buying my salon products that I will need in the future! :)

When I arrived, I was told the students don't come in until 5:30. I was patient, but by 6:15 I was still waiting. When I asked for an update, the front desk staff--who was kind at first--became noticeably rude and simply said the student was "getting ready." I don't understand why an appointment would be booked at 5:00 if the person isn't even available until later, or why it would take over an hour to "get ready." On top of that, the bathroom was extremely dirty and the overall environment felt unclean. I understand it's a school, but the lack of professionalism and cleanliness was unacceptable. I won't be returning.
