I have super thin hair so I don't think it should've taken that long and I wish the instructors stepped in to help knowing that it was taking a very long time. My hair was done very choppy and each instructor said it was okay... when it wasn't. Only Mr. Jones stopped and really talked with me which I appreciated. I went to Ulta to get it fixed right after.

I am so sorry not to have instructors name but she was petit Hispanic woman with grayish hair and…read moreshe was bar none the best teacher and help to them I have ever witnessed.

Kudos for instructors like her.

I have been going to the Institute of Cosmetology, Esthetics & Massage for years for facials,…read morenails and massage and have generally had very positive experiences, which makes this situation especially disappointing. During my last massage appointment in March, the student assigned to me mentioned being exhausted and dealing with a death in the family. I sympathized with her situation, but unfortunately the massage itself involved very little pressure and did not help relieve the tension in my back muscles. When I requested deeper tissue work, she brought out a massage gadget instead of using her hands. I specifically requested a traditional hand massage without gadgets or elbows, but the session still did not feel therapeutic or effective. One concern I have is that the school requires clients to complete feedback forms directly in front of the student, which discourages honest feedback and makes clients uncomfortable expressing concerns openly. After the appointment, I politely informed the front desk that I did not feel I had received much of a massage. I was told someone would contact me. Instead, the only follow-up I received was a call canceling my next appointment, which had been scheduled with a different student. I called back twice afterward and received no response. Today, when I finally spoke with the owner, I was shocked by how condescending and dismissive the conversation became. Instead of listening, she talked over me and lectured me as if I were one of her students, or even worse, a misbehaving child. Rather than listening to a long-time client or offering a simple courtesy massage or any kind of gesture to resolve the issue, she spoke to me in a belittling and reprimanding manner. She even stated that I should be able to afford a $120 massage elsewhere and told me not to return for services. Insult upon insult. Don't ass-u-me a client is "poor" if he or she comes to your school. Without clients, your students could not complete their training. I get regular massages from my massage therapist of 15 years every other week. I came to your school because she is usually overbooked. At no point was I angry or disrespectful. I simply provided honest feedback after years of supporting the business. The experience left me feeling humiliated by a place that is supposed to help people feel relaxed, cared for, and valued. I feel offended and demoralized. There are many schools and businesses that welcome constructive feedback professionally and treat loyal clients with kindness and respect. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect those values. Notice how the owner was quick to reiterate that this is a school, yes, I know. Raising your voice, talking over me and demeaning me solidified this fact in concrete. You were not professional at all. This school is also regulated. As a German, I return to Europe every summer. It seems a trip to visit a dear friend in Zurich is long overdue. Maybe CIDESCO can clarify this incident.

Colors do not stay on after two weeks. It's not the student... it's the products. . I called the main number to leave a message for the school manager. No call back for several weeks. The person answering calls /scheduling seems to lack customer service that has to deal with anything outside of a scheduling. However if you have issues with the service you have to call within the week or the school cannot fix the problem. On top of that, no flexibility in your own schedule. I understand it's a hair school, but I hope they are teaching basic customer service as well!

This was the worst experience we've ever had. From the moment we walked through the door, we should…read morehave recognized the warning signs--especially after reading the many negative reviews online. We even asked about those reviews, and they did a great job of downplaying them. Unfortunately, we later learned those concerns were well-founded. This school is unprofessional on so many levels, from cleanliness to the quality of both in-person and online instruction. Whether a school has one student or one hundred, every student deserves equal treatment and support. The student kit was a joke. We were charged $300 and then weeks later stated it was gonna be over $700 for supplies that clearly did not add up to that value. Much of the kit consisted of inexpensive promotional items and freebies seemingly included to justify the cost. Even worse, my daughter never received all of the training items we paid for. The online hour-tracking system was also completely inadequate. There appeared to be no reliable way for the school to accurately track student attendance beyond logging in and out. The school never provided proof or documentation of my daughter's in-person hours or online hours. Yet, when she was preparing to complete the program, we were suddenly told she did not have enough hours and could not continue unless we paid an additional $750 to complete just 23 hours. They currently have my daughter's hours LOCKED due to none payment which is inaccurate. This was after already paying approximately $5800 for the program, not including the numerous "extra fees" that are conveniently excluded from the advertised tuition amount. Students and parents should also be aware that there have been ongoing concerns regarding the ownership and operation of this school, including allegations of repeatedly opening and closing businesses under different names. Additionally, we've heard multiple reports of students completing the program and then waiting months to receive their certificate of completion, delaying their ability to move forward with state licensing. This beauty school has been a complete nightmare. I would never recommend it to anyone and would not wish this experience on another student or family.
