I moved to this area 3 years ago and I found the Pink Lotus while looking for a new hair stylist…read more In finding one I found Tonya! I always felt welcome anytime that I came into her salon. She became my wax tech. It was only natural to support her new passion, teaching. I decided to get a Brazilian wax and my eyebrows done by her students. Both which could be uncomfortable for different reasons. However, she made what could have been an uncomfortable service very pleasant. I was very at ease as she was patient with her students all while making sure I was comfortable. Her new location allows for the much needed privacy and offering a full spa experience. I would highly recommend the Pink Lotus whether you're a client looking for a great experience or a student looking for a great school and instructor this is the place you want to go!

First time getting my hair done here. The prices are great for the client. I came in for a…read moredemi-hair color and hair-trim. I was going to get it styled, but it did get late. I went in thinking I was going to get just copper in my hair and ended up with a ombre violet and sutle copper. I wanted to keep my length in my hair for my hair cut so, I ended up just getting a trim. I had a lot of lighter hair from mid to ends, so an ombre just made sense and to utilize what i already have. My stylist Chelsea did an awesome job. I had to see the finish product with the dry and porducts used my hair looked fresh. If you do end up coming here for a haircut and color. Just keep in mind that these are students practicing unger a licensed teacher. It will take more time than going into a regular salon. I really enjoyed my experience and already booked my next appt with Chelsea. More pictures of the inside will soon be added.

Overall amazing service smooth and fast and my regular wasn't available that will be my only thing…read moreabout depending on one person to do your hair is not a guarantee and it's happened before and they can only provide what they have at that time so I would recommend calling ahead and know that all stylist here are students and they all have different ways to do your hair but it's always the best to there knowledge and understanding more from gaining experience. When it comes to anyone new especially if your regular like me It's always best to just let them know what exactly what you need done and what you prefer and what methods works best to give you the overall good experience and I will say that the person I had today Jenna was absolutely amazing. She's was fast. And very understanding when I gave her feedback and took ignition of how my previous stylist who did my hair before and she gave me a overall good experience and was able to get me out the timeframe that I needed to be out of here as well as being able to successfully give me the look that I would like to have for future services here. The staff is always so welcoming, as well as very attentive to detail in regards of making sure that every student is doing their part to give you the quality service that you get and the pricing for texture hair has gone up, but it's still affordable compared to other places this has been my go to spot since me and my mom been going to since she's brought me to here to get my hair done for the very person this my favorite spot to go and they do provide other services including make up glam day. This is my top spots to get your hair done within a good timeframe and having future stylist take care of you and give you the hairstyle you will want to keep coming back for more.

We are taught the history of makeup, sanitation, the color wheel, proper tool use and placement among many other things. If you want to become a professional makeup artist this is the best place for you to learn to perfect you skills. This is not a class this is a course. Also Mrs. Stallings is the owner of Colour U cosmetics which is what we use in class. I highly recommend this course and this school!

BECAUSE I CANT LEAVE ZERO STARS: THIS SCHOOL IS A SCAM!!!…read moreThey want to enroll as many students preferably veterans. Ms. Hill stole money from multiple students She made students fill out multiple FASFA applications for an 11 month program. When the "owner", Deanna Lewis came to town to "fix everything" she told each student they would NOT get any money back and that was that! The receptionist Ms. TC, Ms. Hill, and Ms. Payne all left in the middle of the night. Locked everyone out of their accounts and stole the school checkbook! This program waits for new students to enroll so they can use their FASFA to pay themselves. Multiple students are pressing charges. THIS SCHOOL AND THE OWNER are SCAMMING EVERYONE!!
