    This picture is of me literally walking out of the door of the salon after my visit. Paid $71 for…read morethis mess only to go home and personally do my own press and curl. My mom went here the day before and only paid 18 bucks for the same exact treatments I had (wash, , deep condition, blow dry, trim, press and curl). Of course I didn't find out until after my salon visit that she paid no where near my amount (she had a senior citizen discount but it still doesn't excuse the overcharge). I should have known something was up when the educator asked me to pay some of the amount in cash and not all on my card. This is giving me signs of scamming. I paid for a deep condition yet not a cap or hooded dryer was used in the process. Makes me wonder if they just used regular conditioner instead of a deep conditioner. It didn't even sit on my hair for a minute before it was rinsed out. My hair was extremely tangled and dry after the wash and conditioner to the point my scalp was hurting as the stylist was combing it. I have 4c hair so moisture is essential on natural hair (but hey, I'm not the expert). I use Aussie moisturize deep conditioner at home and I know how my hair should feel afterwards and how nice the comb should be able to glide through. Called and spoke with the educator after my visit (didn't get her name but sounds like same one that took my money) and questioned the difference in prices and the deep condition treatment. She states (with an extremely long pause to the point I thought that she hung up), "due to my hair density and length I was charged this amount" and "their conditioning products are so good that you don't need to sit under dryer." Of course I don't believe this (but won't argue with her). I was charged based on density and length before anyone touched my head? Additionally, my moms hair is longer than mine. I arrived there with a wash and go ponytail so my hair shrinks to my head that you can't even determine the length or density by looking at it. So this is bogus. I usually stand clear of salons because of my anxiety due to horrible experiences (in particular people not knowing how to care for natural hair) and this has added to it. I will just continue to do my own hair as I usually do for all this headache.

Tonika coached and mentored my daughter and taught her how to style and properly care for natural hair. She also helped her with preparing for a speaking engagement. Can we say money well spent? She really helped Lexi with finding her voice and message for her speaking engagement. When it was time for her to speak at the event the crowd was blown away. If I could give 10 stars I would, they are simply the best. Everyone at the salon is lovely! CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! IT'S WORTH IT!

    My experience here wasn't worth the high costs that I paid…read more I really wanted to like this place. I surely appreciate the kind owner, she's very nice. My experience was as follows: -Not a great looking salon -High cost for loc maintenance and style -Didn't get the style I asked for even tho I asked for a style that was in one of their magazines -Spent a really long time under a dryer that barely worked and I was the only client there. -There's way too much great competition in the area for this so-so place to be charging this much. $65 for maintenance + $25 for style. I usually only have to pay that amount at the super fancy salons. This place is okay for a high price. I do think I'll stick to the neighborhood shop I usually go to $40 for maintenance and $15 for Style and they do an excellent job. My biggest disappointment was the style. I didn't like it and it wasn't what I asked for.

    I do not recommend this place if you are looking to become certified as an Esthetician. The…read moreenvironment is less than ideal and there is no structure for how they operate the program. New starts are enrolled every month and they mix them in with classes who are already in session. This causes confusion because there is no clear and concise directive provided to the Instructors on how to migrate the class effectively. Either the new starts or current students will not receive the same amount of time and attention because of the lack of guidance and structure. It's disheartening to say the least that we are pulling Federal Loans and paying out of pocket to receive a less than mediocre education due to a faulty system within the Management level of this institution. This could be a great place but unfortunately it is NOT. Respectfully

I went back for the esthetics program and my instructors were great and I loved my first instructors way of teaching and suddenly we had to change teachers and I started to not understand the work as well as I did in the beginning and now that I graduated I haven't had any support in studying for my exam or job placement like I had in 2019 when I graduated cosmetology school.

I got a haircut and it was a fix from another local school mess up. The young girl did fantastic at fixing it and a new cut that I showed her a picture of. The second time, I took my kids with me, and they could not stop talking about the salon and the girls. They both were equally impressed and very satisfied with their cut. One of my sons is very OCD and hard to please with his hair cut, but his hairstylist met the demand and was fabulous. I have always had a pleasurable experience from walking in the doors until leaving. I love that you get tea when getting there. The store front is very attractive and welcoming as well as the staff. I highly recommend this salon to anyone. I have not had a bad experience from scheduling to the end of my appointment. WELL DONE AVEDA ARLINGTON!!!!

I get a facial almost every month here and every time I leave feeling pampered and my skin glowing. It's super easy to get appointments and the facial spaces have all the privacy and relaxation you need. I've been to other student clinics for facials and they don't offer the same kind of privacy. Here, It feels like I'm in a real salon paying hundreds of dollars for the privacy, aromatherapy, massage with facial, and the vibe. I will also try out other services at Aveda in the near future!

Shanay is extremely professional and models what it means to be a dedicated beauty professional. My course was taught by Mrs. Ciney. Ciney is an expert in sanitation and infectious control. Through her charismatic instruction she not only taught us the technique behind makeup application; but really transformed and trained our eye for flawless natural beauty. We learned how to properly customize shades to match clients skintones and blend eyeshadows to perfect. Ciney has years of experience that she brings to every class and shares those experiences to help fully prepare you for the world of Makeup Artistry outside of the classroom. I can not say enough about her skill and the impact she has had on my artistry! I have been contemplating going to beauty school for 3 years. With a full time job I searched for the best program for Makeup Artistry that would give me quality education and work with my schedule of being a wife and mom that works full time. Topcurl Beauty Academy is an Inglot partner school and trains you to truly understand the products and best application.I am so happy and grateful that I found Topcurl Beauty academy. Whether you are searching for a Makeup, cosmetology, or nail technician course I know you will find that Topcurl is the best school choice for you!

Whoever you went to prior to Paulette's is the place you need to complain to! You probably complained to there too!! If you are just one of those people that go to Yelp and constantly complain on everywhere you've been at, you might as well just stay your butt at home and treat your own d*mn hair!! I've been going to Paulette for over 5 years and have always had the best hair experience. I get compliments from strangers at malls, work and at party events. Very professional and lovely environment. I would never switch to another salon. My mom introduced me to Paulette years ago. Paulette trained my mom (a cosmetologist as well) on new trendy styles etc. after my first visit, I was hooked onto Paulette's magnificent highlights, haircut she did to my hair. I am really impressed by Paulette's mastery how she blends colors to make my hair look so pretty. I have definitely gotten plenty of compliments over the years regarding my highlights and layers. Paulette is truly really great at what she does. She also has a big heart!
