    Abrasions from old, unsanitary razors.
    Michael B.

    This place used to be good when it was Classic Beauty School on Greenway ave. Now the new manager is blind to any problems. So bad they are even using unsanitary razors! My neck feels like a bad sunburn, just look at the pics! I had to go to Cost Cutters afterwards and even Cost Cutters was appalled. Stephanie from Cost Cutters said I should report Olympus to the state board of cosmetology! Stephanie also said my hair was clearly cut different lengths on top and sides and said she couldnt cut anything in the back because my skin was inflamed! The new manager of Olympus is also one of the rudest people I ever met! The student cutting my hair today was from Iran. He could barely speak any English. When I asked him twice, "Does my hair look the same length on the top and on the sides?" he answered ok lol. When I politely asked the manager for help she jumped all over me and said "His English is perfect! Never insult my students!" I should have left then. I said I wanted the hairline in the back raised up and that is when I got the results in the pictures! I was in pain and when I asked, "Can I see the back of my neck?" the student of course didnt understand this simple question or pretended not to understand. They probably didn't want to show me because my neck was completely red! The manager said dont worry it looks good. (She just said that, she never even inspected her students work) When I asked to have the hair by my ears buzzed, the student started using scissors! Scissors dont buzz! When I asked again to get through the language barrier, the student started blending the back of my head instead of trimming the hair by my ears! And that was the first time in my life I ever had to forcibly get up from a barber chair! When I told the manager, she said "Maybe you need to go to a real barber shop and never come back!" Really, that is how you treat your customer? What is also funny is I went to the local Subway restaurant afterwords, and even the sandwich artist at Subway, said Olympus cut his hair all wrong. He said he even tried to wear a hat to work because he was so embarrassed! And to end this review, when I asked for my money back, the Olympus manager and coworkers got hostile! One of their barbers even tried to fight me! How ridiculous is that! He was inches from my face and I told him he needed to back up. He then backed up and opened the door and me deciding it wasnt worth my time to try to reason with these unsanitary, incompetent people, I left! So stay far away from Olympus! Unless you are ready for a bad haircut, Hepatitis shot, and a bar fight! Worst haircutting experience I have ever had in my life. As you can see from the pics, it was basically assault. Maybe I should have filed a police report.

    Just got my hair curled here, and the service was great!!!! I LOVE MY HAIR!! It made me want to go to school, So I asked. The great thing is they have financial aid and lots of scholarships. So I wanted to share with anyone out there looking for a great style and school. COME HERE!!! MIC DROP!!!

    GO TO AVEDA OR STUDIO BEAUTY INSTEAD******…read more This school is very unprofessional. If I could give negative stars I would but I left this place in tears. I've been growing my hair out and it's finally hit a point where it's too long for me to take care of it myself. I tried them for a wash and blow dry and that experience was okay and I was able to walk the girl through how to care for and brush my hair so I decided to return a second time get a few highlights. One of the "instructors" who was helping the student was very nasty and rude. She was white with glasses and overweight and refused to give her name and so did the student who called me nasty because I asked her to check after 50 minutes of sitting with color to check if my hair was okay. They had 6 different people in my hair and when I asked for the same instructor for consistency she walked away and tried to leave the color that was on my hair for almost an hour and told me she's on lunch but I can wait. I really just want to warn people about this place because Aveda is pretty close and they're usually pretty knowledgeable and helpful there and there's another school studio beauty just across the street. This place is was a nightmare and I'm truly easy going and i Just want to make sure I tell others.

    I am only leaving a review based on trying to book an appt. I walked in to discuss services and…read morebook an appt. The girl working the desk stank so bad of cigarettes that I walked out without booking. No thanks. Not what I want to smell when receiving a service. Gross.
