Neither times did the students doing my services do general small talk and instead chatted with their friends. The managers seem friendly, but the students need A LOT OF WORK!!!!!!! Photos of the manicure I got. Gel removal took 45 minutes, and the gel job was horrendous. I hardly do reviews but I will not be coming back. This is only my experience with the waxing and gel service. Other services may be different!!

I had a pedicure. My student was very sweet and professional. She did an eccellent job. However,…read morethe polish seemed thick, almost stringy, coming from the bottle and there were streaks on my nails. The student admitted the quality of polish they use is not the best. She fixed it with an extra layer of top coat. My polish chipped and peeled within 24 hours. I feel bad that students are provided products that don't set them up fir success. There was a group of students nearby, working on each others' nails, talking about personal subjects and swearing. It didn't really bother me but it seemed unprofessional.

If you don't want to spend a fortune on a haircut, Atelier Academy of Beauty is the place to go…read more I've had my hair cut by Fara and Addi and have been happy with the results! The instructors check in periodically and give pointers to students as needed. Making an appointment online is easy and both times I was taken back a few minutes after checking in. The appointments are longer than other places because students are providing services, but I always schedule my appointments when I'm not in a rush to be somewhere. Cuts are $15, which is a steal given I've paid a lot more at salons in CA and even Aveda Beauty School in DC. Best of all, it's a 10-15 min walk from my apartment so I don't have to worry about parking. As a recent transplant, I'm thrilled to have found a salon I like on the first try and I'm glad it's in Hopkins!

I waited over 25 minutes without a word from anyone watching students in slippers and sweats wander by. I finally left as they obviously did not value my time. Avoid them at all costs! That is not how you treat customers and very unprofessional business. Also had to listen to all the student drama as they hung out at the front desk talking with not a care in the world.

Don't waste your time here. My student openly admitted to me that she didn't like doing color…read more(which is what I was getting done) and that she is only finishing the program so she wouldn't be out a bunch of her money. She was on her phone a ton and even left me with foils in because she "wanted a break". She was NOT professional at all and honestly didn't do the best job (it's not easy to mess up an ombre, so overall it looks alright plus my hair is curly so it's easy to hide). She didn't even cut my hair because she didn't know what she was doing (the instructor took over and cut it all). I still tipped her well over 20% only because I work in the service industry and understand that everyone has bad days but come on Empire staff; why would you put someone with a huge request (color, foils, and a cut) with a student who doesn't want to be there? Needless to say I was terrified about my hair getting drastically botched AND if anyone needs an ombre, I am pretty sure I am more qualified to do one than my hair dresser considering the instructor held her hand very tightly during each and every step.

Kim, Katie and Amy were so very supportive and responsive to my needs throughout the journey. When I initially went into Lavish School, I was very disappointed and ready to give up. I found out that the education I received in another state wasn't going to be enough. Kim lifted me up with her positive attitude and made it seem possible. I walked back out of there with a much lighter heart and hope. I just passed my state boards and am beginning my job search and am very confident that the skills I was taught will carry me far in the beauty industry!!

Amazing massage!…read more You have to remember this is for education for students so you won't get the upscale feel but after the massage got started and I closed my eyes it was like being in a luxury spa. They had the music and essential oils going. The rooms itself is small and not decorated but has the essentials the students need for the massage. I noticed they don't close the doors and just have the curtain so I was a little confused when I was told to undress if the door was going to close or not. It was a sunny day so the sun was shining pretty bright so the room wasn't very dark. They had the fan going but it felt really nice with the heated bed. The foot soak was nice in the beginning, he gave me a choice of essential oils and gave me a little foot scrub after the soak. I did the serenity package for $90 which included an hour of foot reflexology where he followed the chart. The next hour compromised of a face massage (he put gloves on for this), scalp, neck décolleté, arms, legs, abdomen, glute, and back. He really worked out my problem areas and added some stretches in. I was so relaxed and comfortable the whole time. I do have to mention his voice was very calming and soothing and he checked to make sure I was ok with anything before he did it. I really appreciate him spending extra time with all my knots and issues. I wish you great success in the future Dan! They have two free parking lots that had plenty of spaces when I arrived. Bring cash to tip since they can't take tip on a card.
