The students that have provided services for my daughter and I have all been friendly and try hard to do a great job. Their instructor, the owner, is a highly skilled stylist with many years of experience. She inspects the students work at many stages of all services provided. She maintains a high standard and holds her students to the same. if something is not right or the best it can be, the instructor will step in to teach the student the correct method/technique. She has always stepped in to correct anything that didn't meet her high standards, while educating the student in a supportive and kind manner. They provide services for all hair types. I have textured (4C) hair, my daughter is biracial with wavy (2A/2B) hair. The students are well-trained to style all types of hair. I've saved hundreds and hundreds of dollars over the years by receiving my services at Chanell Ardor school of beauty & culture. If you've not tried the beauty school, I highly recommend you try them out! Thanks, ~M

Aww, my old alma mater... I think that's what that word means. Oops, I'm bad advertising…read more Anyway, this is an acceptable little community college, right on the edge of Freeport. They have a wide range of programs/degrees, from theater to science to technology. As far as I know they still don't offer bachelor's degrees, so associate's is as good as you're going to get, but they do offer plenty of vocational degrees, like autobody, cosmetology, and CNA. Classes are generally small, although there are a few lecture halls. The professors are usually real people, who genuinely want you to succeed in their classes, and will actually help you to do so. Of course, there are always some who just have their own agenda and want to spread their own opinions instead of teach (I won't name names), but most of the professors I had were somewhat passionate about their field, which definitely helps a person to learn from them. The funny thing is, a lot of people look at Highland as an extension of high school, and I can't say I disagree, but I would tweak it a bit and say it's a good prep school. It's a solid choice if you're trying to transition from high school to a university or even to real life.

When I arrived, parking was easy to find and the building was simple to navigate. I walked through the door of the suite and Megan greeted me warmly, and then we went over the process. After signing a few more forms, we got started. I laid down on the covid-friendly table (normally there are warmers and blankets and a memory foam pillow, darnit!) and the process began. It only took her about an hour to add the extensions, and I was thrilled with the outcome! I've already scheduled my fill appointment for 2 weeks from now, and I look forward to seeing Megan again. I will definitely be recommending The Skin Care Studio to everyone!

Then I went back to dye my hair red! Early 2022 maybe March, I went with a few photos. As I'm getting my hair bleached the 2 students are just talking so much garbage and petty nonsense about instructors. Meanwhile the ENTIRE time in that chair every instructor had a different method or suggestion to the students working on my hair. Each time!!! And yet the 2 girls continued shaming the instructors methods. How is that ok? Get on the same page I'm literally making a big change to my hair! Again, I said nothing because they are a learning institution. (Even though the rude remarks were completely unprofessional for 2 girls that are about to graduate in about 3 months) I asked questions about how long red hair dye will last before a touch up. And they gave me so much wrong information. Like the students said I would be ok waiting til July for my cruise for a color touch up. Why did I even believe them? I don't know. Ok so a week later I come back and show them my hair which was BRIGHT PINK NOT RED. All the teachers came around and agreed that was NOT what I asked for and they re did my hair and charged me for the product which still isn't fair to a client. And my hair STILLL wasn't red, it was a red purple. I didn't complain this time and decided I'll just keep it as is because it didn't look too bad. So then I call again probably a month later and tell them hey this color is a nasty brownish red color. It actually turned like this 2 weeks after I was there. Don't forget, I was told I could wait til my cruise in July. Which was like 3-4 months after the hair color. The front desk girl whoever she is pretty much said "no we don't use that in our verbage. No we can't tell you what product we used. No we can't tell you what color we used on your hair. No we would never tell you to wait 3-4 months. No you are wrong we are disagreeing with you on that". She should've at least said ok let me give you a different student. Did she forget I came back multiple times to get my hair right ? Never complained about double paying for product? Oh and bought shampoo from you! And this is your response? To further prove how wrong they are the students literally told me you can wait for your cruise in July to touch up the hair but we won't be here. We will graduate. So come in May if you want us to do it. BUT AGAIN THE CUSTOMER IS WRONG. THEY NEVER SAID THAT APPARENTLY AND IM CRAZY So after that discussion I stayed away for a bit because I live an hour away from the salon. Then after weeks of coloring my own hair red, I called again to get them to do it with whatever color they used since they wouldn't tell me what color they used and to get a trim. GUESS WHAT? they told me I should go elsewhere!!! How crazy is that? If you are an institution then your response should've been hell yea! We want the new students to revive your hair to work on it. Learn. Never did I complain about paying and this is how they treat me. It's sad honestly. Normal professional salons would say come in, let's dye it again, touch it up. Re Educate the client. Anything. But they were on full defend mode. Oh and professional salons would tell you what color or product they are putting in your hair and not hold it as confidential. Ridiculous !!!!!!!
