I get that their students, but even the instructor was telling the student to do my updo wrong. I usually go to Capri in Cedar Rapids, so I'm familiar with student work. I told the student she was doing it wrong, she did it anyway, and 1/2 way through realized I was right and had to start over. When she was "done" I had to go home and continue to pin it myself, so it wouldn't fall out. That was the best experience I had there, so that's not saying much. If this is how they style it, I'd be terrified to let them come near my head with scissors or chemicals.

I doubt the students are being paid by PCI to perform services so the service price so be only for the costs and supplies utilitized to perform the services. I recommend people don't buy into this school's bs of a service fee. Beginning August 8th, a service fee will be included on all services. This charge helps account for the professional products and supplies used during each appointment, from hair color and styling products to skincare, nail, massage, and other service essentials. Your service price will continue to cover the time and techniques involved in your appointment, while the additional product charge will reflect the professional products used to achieve your result.

I came here for the first time because my girlfriends daughter was seeing clients for the very first time during her schooling. I had no idea what to expect from a facial. I cannot believe I am gone this long in my life with never have gotten a European facial. That was one hour of pure bliss. Zoe worked on my face and I would have never known that this was her first day working with clients. Her hands moved over my face with a calming gentle manner that set me off right at ease. If there was one aspect of the spot which I was caught off guard it is the lack of privacy. Even though I was in my own space on the table, the conversations being held in the room next to me were easily overheard. So, if you're looking for a completely secluded area for a treatment, this may not be your place.

So, I don't ever write reviews because I know sometimes businesses just have a bad day or not…read moreenough employees covering. But, this was a terrible experience and thought I should share. My daughter went in for a highlight yesterday. she had a picture. In all fairness, the picture was significant lighter than her natural hair, so they did say it may take another appointment in three weeks to get the desired color. When done processing the hairdresser wouldn't let her see it until dried and styled and said you won't be happy because it doesn't look like it changed much. They told her it didn't lift right. In truth, her hair had not changed at all (possibly a tad lighter, but no one would have noticed any change). As you can see I am trying to be fair. I didn't notice a change either. I called them and person was nice saying since there was no change, they would see her the next day for no charge. It was their mistake. My daughter was told today, she would have to pay for the product. Now, the whole service would in total cost $125.00...more than a reputable salon for highlight only. This is a school. My daughter talked to several people explaining there was no change in color...there was even pictures of before and after to verify this. I called and they would not budge saying maybe we should go to our regular salon next time. They wanted to wash out the product from her hair and let her go without fully processing. Today, they added the product and then told my daughter the cost. So, they gave us two choices...leave it in and pay the additional cost or wash it out now without fully processing (not knowing what it will look like) and let her go. There was no choice as I wouldn't do that to my daughter. I asked that they treat my daughter well and not embarrass her, yet they made her feel like it was all her fault and they did nothing wrong. I have never had this kind of business anywhere. Usually the practice is "the customer is always right" even if there is a loss. We weren't wanting to cause problems or get a service free, just wanting them to admit their mistake and correct it for no charge on today's visit, as we had already paid $85.00. The managers never once said they were sorry.
