    This new location is alot smaller so obviously there will be less barbers available to provide service but these last few weeks, I've experienced no wait. A newly acquired parking lot in the back was a smart move to avoid metered parking costs for patrons. Still the same great service and closer commute from downtown.

    Got a great haircut and shave for an awesome price. Better than most other places I've been in Houston.

    Outstanding! Great people. Great service. If you want a good hair cut every time, go to a barber.

    The training here is so thorough and so consistent that one cannot help having a good experience…read more I've been coming here for years for facials. Even though this is a school and the student estheticians are at different stages of their training, I have always had a satisfying facial.

    I have been going to the Institute of Cosmetology, Esthetics & Massage for years for facials,…read morenails and massage and have generally had very positive experiences, which makes this situation especially disappointing. During my last massage appointment in March, the student assigned to me mentioned being exhausted and dealing with a death in the family. I sympathized with her situation, but unfortunately the massage itself involved very little pressure and did not help relieve the tension in my back muscles. When I requested deeper tissue work, she brought out a massage gadget instead of using her hands. I specifically requested a traditional hand massage without gadgets or elbows, but the session still did not feel therapeutic or effective. One concern I have is that the school requires clients to complete feedback forms directly in front of the student, which discourages honest feedback and makes clients uncomfortable expressing concerns openly. After the appointment, I politely informed the front desk that I did not feel I had received much of a massage. I was told someone would contact me. Instead, the only follow-up I received was a call canceling my next appointment, which had been scheduled with a different student. I called back twice afterward and received no response. Today, when I finally spoke with the owner, I was shocked by how condescending and dismissive the conversation became. Instead of listening, she talked over me and lectured me as if I were one of her students, or even worse, a misbehaving child. Rather than listening to a long-time client or offering a simple courtesy massage or any kind of gesture to resolve the issue, she spoke to me in a belittling and reprimanding manner. She even stated that I should be able to afford a $120 massage elsewhere and told me not to return for services. Insult upon insult. Don't ass-u-me a client is "poor" if he or she comes to your school. Without clients, your students could not complete their training. I get regular massages from my massage therapist of 15 years every other week. I came to your school because she is usually overbooked. At no point was I angry or disrespectful. I simply provided honest feedback after years of supporting the business. The experience left me feeling humiliated by a place that is supposed to help people feel relaxed, cared for, and valued. I feel offended and demoralized. There are many schools and businesses that welcome constructive feedback professionally and treat loyal clients with kindness and respect. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect those values. Notice how the owner was quick to reiterate that this is a school, yes, I know. Raising your voice, talking over me and demeaning me solidified this fact in concrete. You were not professional at all. This school is also regulated. As a German, I return to Europe every summer. It seems a trip to visit a dear friend in Zurich is long overdue. Maybe CIDESCO can clarify this incident.

They offer a variety of services, including haircuts, hair coloring, styling, and even nail services, all at affordable prices. The students are professional, eager to learn, and work hard to provide a great experience under supervision. Everyone is full of energy, and they are always hosting themed days and dressing up for special occasions, which creates a fun and welcoming atmosphere. They even have food trucks parked outside uncertain days so you can grab a bite while getting your hair done. If you're looking to refresh your look without spending a fortune, give the students at Paul Mitchell a try you may be pleasantly surprised and won't be disappointed.

    Dont go here if you don't want random charges on your credit card…read more I paid for the monthly subscription and after 6monts or so I canceled because I wasnt really going and taking advantage of it. A few months later I start getting charged the $10 again but through a different location that I had never been to (details were on my credit card transaction) I called the number in the transaction they didn't have me in the system so they couldn't refund me so I had to file a dispute through my credit card this was early 2025. Jan 2026 I get charged $20 I was out of town when it said I had service so I tried calling again got the run around disputed with my credit card... Again March 19th 2026 I'm seeing a pending $30 charge!!! I don't know how they're getting through because they were blocked by my card company and I haven't gotten any service done. Pay cash.

We even asked about those reviews, and they did a great job of downplaying them. Unfortunately, we later learned those concerns were well-founded. This school is unprofessional on so many levels, from cleanliness to the quality of both in-person and online instruction. Whether a school has one student or one hundred, every student deserves equal treatment and support. The student kit was a joke. We were charged $300 and then weeks later stated it was gonna be over $700 for supplies that clearly did not add up to that value. Much of the kit consisted of inexpensive promotional items and freebies seemingly included to justify the cost. Even worse, my daughter never received all of the training items we paid for. The online hour-tracking system was also completely inadequate. There appeared to be no reliable way for the school to accurately track student attendance beyond logging in and out. The school never provided proof or documentation of my daughter's in-person hours or online hours. Yet, when she was preparing to complete the program, we were suddenly told she did not have enough hours and could not continue unless we paid an additional $750 to complete just 23 hours. They currently have my daughter's hours LOCKED due to none payment which is inaccurate. This was after already paying approximately $5800 for the program, not including the numerous "extra fees" that are conveniently excluded from the advertised tuition amount. Students and parents should also be aware that there have been ongoing concerns regarding the ownership and operation of this school, including allegations of repeatedly opening and closing businesses under different names. Additionally, we've heard multiple reports of students completing the program and then waiting months to receive their certificate of completion, delaying their ability to move forward with state licensing. This beauty school has been a complete nightmare. I would never recommend it to anyone and would not wish this experience on another student or family.

We were just standing there looking like idiots. Finally someone came in and I asked them that I wanted a haircut and a blow dry so the total I saw on the website was $25. They were about to charge me $37. I showed them the price on the website and then they showed me attitude and then they said OK and then I paid. After I was told to sit down, no one spoke English. It took forever for a hairdresser to come to me. And then they said they wanted to wash my hair when I already said that I only want a blow dry and a haircut and I already told them that I washed my hair. then as they were cutting my hair, there were random people just coming in just looking at hair cutting spraying. There were too many people just playing with my hair. At one point, a random student just started playing with my hair and started spraying water, even though that hair was already blow dried. At the beginning of the cut, one of the employees asked me to show a picture and I showed the picture and she started misbehaving with me and saying "that's not $25 that's $45" and then I showed the website which showed $25. and then finally the teacher came in and just told her to calm down and go away, but she was so rude to me for no reason. Anyway, that was my experience and it just took over three hours to do just to cut and a blow dry and which was ridiculous. The cut was fine. The blow dry was not good, but it's whatever I just wanted to get the hell out of there.

My school district payed her in full in the beginning of July, $700. Once paid, the class dates were set for July 18th and August 1st. We had two dates set because she stated that she didn't want to do all four hours of the training in one day. Well, I needed to change the August 1st date because I mixed up my dates. I spoke to her July 13th and things took a turn. When asked what date did I want to change it to, I told her that I was available anytime during the week. She offered August 15th, but when I told her that I would be back in school but I can come after school, she stated that she works from 8:30 to 5:30 and she's not staying after that. I said no problem. She said "we can't do Sunday's because that's my day off, and I need my rest!" I never even mentioned coming in on a Sunday. Then I asked her, "well, how about the 25th or the 8th?" Then she says, "the 25th won't work because I'm coming back from out of town and on the 8th and teaching a class. I don't know what to do as far as your schedule because you're always traveling." I was like, okay. I told he that I'm out of school, so I'm flexible just let me know what works best for you. She then tells me " yeah, but I still have school. So here's what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna go against my better judgment and I'm gonna allow you to come in on Wednesday, July 20th @ 12pm." I said "okay, no problem." Then Audrey says, "it's not a problem, It really is a problem, but it's not a problem. And I just want to give you a soft warning, my students will be there and if my students need me during your class time, I am going to go tend to them." I said okay. She then asked for my info. You would think that she would already have it since $700 was paid on PayPal with all of my info on there, but I digress. I gave her my first & last name. Then she said "number". I didn't know if she meant my license number or my phone number, as oftentimes, your license number is needed with you take a class. I said "my phone number?" She replied, "YES N!GGA! You know, Jesus is on the main line? Your phone number!" I was flabbergasted. At that point, I wanted the money back and I didn't want to do the class anymore, but I knew deep down that she wouldn't return the money. I held my peace, and I gave her my info and we got off the phone. I received my confirmation texts and emails for both classes, both on July 18th @ 1030am and July 20th @ 12pm and I confirmed them both. July 18, the day of the first class which is scheduled for 1030am. At 10am, Audrey sends me a text asking me if I have acrylic, a model or a practice hand, tips, glue, etc. I responded back, am I supposed to? She texts me back asking me, well, what do you work with when you do nails? I was floored, especially paying $700 for a nail class, it's EXPECTED that those items are provided for you to use and any professional class where you pay that amount of money, those. We didn't discuss me having to bring anything. I get to the school at 1030, and the door is locked and no one is there. I text Audrey telling her that I'm there and she tells me that I'm really and my class isn't until 11:30 . She shows up at 11:04, I get inside and the vibe is off. I feel unwelcome and uncomfortable the whole time. She was very passive aggressive and talked down to me, like I'm stupid. She's in the second day of the class I asked her if she wanted to check my work after I prepped my nails, as instructed, and she proceeded to gaslight me and tell me that I'm too technical, I overthink, I lack self confidence and that's a sign of weakness and I'm getting in my own way, and she's trying to take me to the top but I'm always questioning things I already know, etc. She tore me down and then she hugged me. She's a bully. She's a narcissist and unprofessional. Wasted time & money. RUN AWAY.
