    I had received a Groupon gift for a facial. I had to leave my first appointment before it was…read morefinished because it ran longer than 50 minutes, so I recommend to leave room in your schedule after the appointment if you want the best experience. I received a facial today. In both appointments, Pivot Point Academy made sure to evaluate me thoroughly to ensure that nothing was applied to my face that shouldn't have been; meanwhile, I was provided a well-rounded, hybrid experience of hydration, relaxation and breakout treatment. My esthetician was named Aliya, named after the singer Aaliyah. Aliya was not only skilled, but also very considerate of all of the components of what makes a good customer experience. She was sweet, thorough in both her approach and her application of the product, had good massaging techniques, was generally attentive to detail, and exhibited a wealth of knowledge that she's managed to learn within just a few months of practice. If I do book with Pivot Point again, Aaliya is definitely the one for me.

Despite specifically asking for my nails to be cut and shaped, that was never done. The student took her time, but the entire service felt rushed and uninterested, as if she didn't want to be there. The pedicure itself was far below what I've experienced at other student salons. There was no heel scrub, no spa-like experience, and the water didn't even have bubbles. To make matters worse, there was a hair floating in the water. Instead of changing the water, it was simply removed with a towel and the service continued. What bothered me the most was the no-chip removal process. Rather than properly soaking the polish off, a rough nail file that felt like a piece of sandpaper was used repeatedly on my nails. It was uncomfortable, actually hurt, and left me questioning whether proper removal techniques were being followed. I've visited several student salons before and understand that students are learning, but this experience was nowhere near the standard I've come to expect. I left disappointed and would not return or recommend it to others.

    So I went here yesterday to finally get my hair cut after growing it out in hopes of donating it to…read moreLocks of Love...which BTW I had enough and am going to be donating around 11 inches!! I love helping people! =]] So I was referred by my friend who has a cousin that is a senior in high school and is in the program. The hours are, I think like 8-3 or something like that, all I know is that I believe you have to be there before 3 PM to get in and then they stay open until like 4:30 PM. Well, Kim, the friend's cousin, did a GREAT job cutting my hair, and for only $5.00!!! No one would ever guess that I got it done anywhere else but a high end salon! And they also do everything from perms to foils, and the foils only cost about $20!! It's a great place to check out if you are looking for something different with your hair but don't want to spend a fortune, and you are also helping these girls out every time you go because they have to get a certain amount of everything (haircuts, manis, perms...etc...) before they can pass the course. So go help out a high schooler and get great cut or color while you are at it! **I believe that there is also the college classes that cut hair from 5 PM-10PM, so if you would rather go at night...you can do that too!**
