Showed up to the Academy of Beauty around 1:15. I was not aware that I had to physically check in,…read morewrite my name on a list, and leave my phone number. So I stood there waiting about 15 minutes behind two other people, thinking that was the system. Finally I asked how to get a haircut and was told I needed to put my name and number down. At that point it was already 1:30. At 2:40 the manager and owner, Tim Nguyen, came downstairs and told me, "Yeah I think we'll be able to see you. Just wait." He also said that people typically have to sign in by 9 AM, but that it would be okay for me and someone would see me. Fast forward to 2:50, I checked again and asked if I was still going to be able to get a haircut. I was then told no. Apparently the students they thought were available had decided to leave. So I basically wasted an hour and a half for nothing. When I asked if they take appointments, I was told they do not. But when I walked outside and looked at their A frame advertisement, it clearly said "Walk ins welcome and appointments encouraged." That makes zero sense. If I could rate this place negative stars, I would.

The students are incredibly careful and handle everything with so much love and attention--you can really feel how much they care. The front desk lady was so sweet and gave us great guidance in choosing the right services for each of us. It made the whole process smooth and welcoming. We left feeling totally rejuvenated and pampered. The teachers are SO, SO, SO kind and supportive, both to us and the students. You can tell they create such a positive environment. Overall, such a relaxing and heartwarming experience, highly recommend!

He is very knowledgable and I could tell he loves what he does. He makes everyone feel comfortable and if you are doing a continuation class; I love that he has you demo to prove you paid attention and are learning. The class size was small. You receive your certificate at the end of the training. Plus I can't remember his dog's name, but he was definitely a sweet heart!

I wanted the same eyebrow tint, and she does them and it did not take one because she said they got new products and was told to use them, so she said she was going to try a 2nd time she did, and I was not satisfied nor happy. So I will not be going back.

My self esteem has gone so far just seeing it. She worked so hard on it and it's absolutely stunning. She kept me updated the entire time! Asked questions I didn't even think about. This woman is an angel. There is no words to describe what she has done for me. Cancer is kicking my butt but Goldie is a key point in helping me fight back. I can't thank her enough for all she has done. If you want the best, she is the best period. Will post a pic when I'm dolled up

However maybe 5 of 12 were awesome nail art items, while the other monthly boxes contained nail art that was out of style already, opposed to them advertising they send "what's trending" & some boxes were repetitive. From 2021 all the way to about march 2024 they were prompt w|: the subscription box after that, I was paying for the subscription & not receiving boxes. I sent them an email after not receiving anything for 7 months, just to see if they were aware of what's happening & to see if I could be reimbursed before pursuing for refunds. I was ignored so I canceled the subscription & started requesting refunds. I don't think they have an actual person for customer service.

Months after attending the course I was given the opportunity to work on set with a production company. When I say her teaching was vital, it was vital.

I have been booked and re booked since taking her class, So beneficial!

Jenn is the ONLY person I will ever let touch my hair again. I came to Jenn with color-damaged hair…read moreand was terrified to do ANYTHING with it. But Jenn was super supportive, gave me a ton of different options and perspectives, and came up with the perfect styles for me! She has seamlessly taken my hair from brown to blonde, back to brown, highlighted it, ombréd it, and re-darkened it multiple times while keeping my hair healthier than it EVER was before seeing her. Not only has she over delivered on every hair color I've wanted under the rainbow, but she also gave me the best extensions I've ever gotten put in, and worked with my busy schedule in order to keep them looking fresh for as long as I wanted them in! She's quick, fun, and incredibly talented- she's my hair go-to for life!

Jenn works magic. I came to her the first time asking to go…read morefrom my natural nearly black hair to silver-one of the most difficult colors to achieve even for a natural blonde. I showed her a few reference photos, and she listened to exactly what I wanted while also advising me on what would look best on me. She has a sixth sense for hair. I was expecting to walk out of the salon with brittle bleached hair, but instead got beautiful, nourished, silver locks. UNREAL. But my journey with Jenn didn't end there - I came back many more times asking to go lavender, then pink, then to jet black. Each time, Jenn dedicated hours making sure my hair was perfect, never rushing the bleaching process. Each time I was more impressed than the last! Whether it's natural tones or any color of the rainbow, you will be in amazing hands with Jenn. Not only is Jenn gifted at what she does, she is also one of the most personable stylists I've ever had. Jenn makes sitting in her chair for hours an absolute pleasure. I fly from the Bay Area down to LA just to see her! Get ready to be obsessed, you'll never want anyone else to do your hair.
