Loved the way my daughters hair came out but I don't think the cosmo teacher guided her student…read morecorrectly and we ended up having an 8 hour appointment for cut and dye. Ended up being charged for 4 bowls of bleach which then the teacher actually realized my daughter didn't need because she was going to get a pixie cut (which I pointed out to her myself actually)and the parts she was trying to bleach was going to get cut off. Also I found this extremely unprofessional that the front desk girls also were sitting there criticizing and making fun of guests who'd come in and ask questions and do this in front of other guests, my other daughter actually attended this school and mentioned that it seems to be on going issue with the girls at the front desk being extremely rude and having nasty attitude. Other than all that my youngest daughter absolutely adores her color and hair done by Lesly

I booked an appointment at 10am on Saturday, 08 for both men's and women's services. No staff come…read moreat 10, so we have to wait till 11! Then the lady who did my hair, I asked her if she was a teacher or student, she said she was a student, but now she's a teacher, i thought her skill would be good. It turned out not good at all, and the guy who also worked that shift had to fix it again, which took even longer. The way that lady works made me kinda angry! When i go to hairdresser, i don't know much about the hair type so i just expect them to make it pretty. The lady asked me a hundred questions and still made it bad. I said i want layers, and a bang that has layers too. That's it, i said like that to every hairdresser i have been to and they all did great, they didn't ask me a hundred questions! So she cut a bang for me, i mean i don't know about it much but just from the look it looks very weird! Anyways i don't want to write it long but in the end, the guy had to fix everything from the cut to the styling. I have to give him compliments on his patience, he had to do 3 hairs at the same time! About that lady, whenever that guy told her not to do like this and that, and she said because i requested it?! I didn't have the preference picture at first but later i pulled out and i said i want to make it look like this. It was a pretty basic long-layered cut. She did look at it and still did it wrong. Both the cut and styling went bad. She needs to stop saying "because i requested it" and improve her skills. The guy who works on the same shift was good. Sorry, I don't know the name but you can check who works at that shift. In general, not a happy experience!

I recently completed the Esthetician program at Cosmotek and passed my state board exam. As a…read morefull-time Physician Assistant, flexibility was one of my top priorities when choosing a program. After researching several esthetics schools in the Bay Area, Cosmotek stood out for its hybrid format, affordability, and supportive learning environment. The flexibility allowed me to complete the program while continuing to work full-time--something that would have been difficult with many other schools. I also appreciated the opportunity to work with clients in the spa rooms, which provided valuable hands-on experience and helped build confidence performing services. A special thank you to Devin, Huong, Binh, Emma, and Kosal, who were incredibly supportive throughout my time there. While these were the staff members I interacted with most, all of the instructors and staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in student success. The last four months were a blast. I learned so much, met great people, and felt well-prepared for my licensing exam. I would highly recommend Cosmotek to anyone looking for a flexible and affordable esthetics program.

I was literally stuck outside like an idiot for 30 minutes. Finally someone happened to open the door and I slipped in behind them, only to be told by the stylist that it was "too late" and they wouldn't take me. Seriously? I don't have time to drive another 30 minutes back here. I followed exactly the contact instructions in your text message, and still ended up being left outside waiting with no response. If there's another way to get in, why isn't that clearly stated in the confirmation email? DO NOT LET OTHERS pay the price for something that isn't their fault and waste this much of time.

Current student going through the program and may change rating based on ongoing experience…read more I started the program about 2-3 weeks ago, mainly because they recently began offering weekend classes, which worked well for me since I have a demanding full-time job. So far, unfortunately, my experience has not been great. I'm not sure if it's because the hybrid/online model is still new for them, but it really feels like they don't have the process fully organized yet. Most of the issues come down to lack of communication and unclear expectations for online students. Once I paid my deposit, I wasn't really guided through the next steps. I was briefly shown the portal we use for coursework (CIMA) and told to download WhatsApp because that's how we communicate with instructors. Beyond that, I pretty much had to figure things out on my own. I even had to personally ask questions in the group chat because I was confused, and it turned out several other students felt the same way. Eventually we found out there's an orientation every Monday, but nobody clearly explained that upfront. The virtual learning environment has also been frustrating. During online sessions, chats are muted and virtual students can't really ask questions because the instructors are focused on the in-person class. That honestly makes no sense to me considering online students are paying the same tuition as in-person students. It feels like the virtual students are an afterthought. Even submitting homework has been confusing. We use Dropbox, but I was basically just told to "download Dropbox" and had to dig through old chat messages to find the actual submission links and instructions. At this point, I honestly feel unclear every step of the way. I spend more time trying to figure out logistics, apps, links, and expectations than actually focusing on learning. The frustrating part is that these seem like very simple organizational issues that could easily be improved with clearer communication and better onboarding for online students. I'm still early in the program, so I hope things improve over time, and I'm open to updating my review if my experience changes.

There might be teaching/demo to students going on while you are getting your hair done from a specialist and this may add additional time as well as you feel like you are a demo customer instead of an actual customer. Also they do not care about your time. If I am paying Toni & Guy prices then I am expecting a seamless customer experience like what they have in SoCal and TX.

The whole service cost only $15, which is an incredible deal. Gia was fantastic. She was professional, courteous, and really listened to what I wanted. She cut my hair exactly the way I asked, gave a wonderful scalp massage during the shampoo, and did a great job with the styling. The instructor was polite and helpful as well. The salon itself is very clean and better ventilated than most places I've been to in Palo Alto and Santa Clara. One small note: the listing says walk-ins are welcome, but when I arrived they asked me to make an appointment (you can book through Yelp or by calling). I'll definitely be back for more services--nails, color, facial, and more. If you're looking for quality work at a great price, give this place (and Gia) a try!
