I visited Xtylo Beauty College, and I was really impressed! This place is a cosmetology school, so…read moreall services are done by students. Which means everything is super affordable. Just keep in mind that they're still learning, but they're closely supervised. When I went, it was pretty packed (which says a lot about how popular it is). I got a scalp treatment and a haircut, and my student stylist, Shey, was amazing. She was confident, careful, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. I left feeling relaxed and with noticeably healthier looking hair.

I contacted XTYLO Beauty and Barber College because I was seriously interested in learning more…read moreabout their nail technology and esthetics programs. I called both the Tolleson and Phoenix locations simply asking for a rough estimate or general range for tuition so I could determine whether the program was within my budget before driving approximately 30 minutes to the school. I was told repeatedly that they would not provide any tuition information, even a ballpark estimate, unless I came in person, completed a tour, sat through a presentation, and received a packet afterward. I explained respectfully that I already have a general idea of my grant and scholarship eligibility and simply wanted to avoid wasting both my time and theirs if the program was outside of my budget. They still refused to provide any pricing information or even basic program details over the phone. What made the experience worse was the customer service. During one call, I was hung up on while I was still trying to ask a question. When I called back and asked to speak with a manager, I was initially told the manager had already left for the day. I was also given difficulty when asking for the manager's name. When I called back again shortly afterward, I was suddenly able to speak with a manager, which made the previous information I was given feel inconsistent and unprofessional. When I finally spoke with management, I again tried to explain why refusing to provide even a general tuition range felt uncomfortable and unnecessarily high-pressure. I was met with the same repeated response that it was simply "policy" and that they could not provide information unless I came in person. There was very little effort to address my actual concern or explain why the school requires potential students to go through an entire in-person presentation before receiving basic pricing information. For me, tuition transparency is extremely important when considering a school. Requiring prospective students to travel to the campus, complete a tour, and sit through a presentation before being told what the program may cost felt more like a sales process than an educational consultation. The lack of transparency, inconsistent information, poor phone etiquette, and overall customer service experience ultimately made me decide that this is not a school I would feel comfortable attending. I understand that schools have policies, but prospective students should be able to receive basic information such as tuition ranges without being pressured into an in-person appointment first. I hope the school reconsiders this policy and improves how potential students are treated when they call for information.

She removed some tools from what looked like a personal makeup bag, obviously not sterilized. I requested alcohol be sprayed on them before starting. She poured a foot bath but never put my feet into it. Filed and pushed back cuticles, did not trim cuticles, asked if I wanted lotion. No polish offered, when I asked about basic lacquer (not gel) was told that is extra. I cancelled the manicure.

Student Rey 10/10!…read more The Studio was easy to book a service at by phone. The front desk attendant spoke to me right away and got me in Rey's chair in within a few minutes. The students all looked occupied and kept the space clean. the teachers were doing hands-on work and were very nice. Rey was AMAZING! She really heard what I wanted my haircut to be and took extra care from the wash to the final product. She wasn't too talkative, but did answer all my questions and made me feel relaxed. She was focused and seemed to care. I enjoyed my service and the ease! Thank you Rey! I hope others will give student learning services a chance, it's great for them and even better for your wallet! My haircut was $15!

coming from a former student, i attended this school for about 4 months before i dropped because it…read morewas too confusing and draining but not in the academic way. The teacher i had was great. She always answered my questions and was great at educating. It was specifically financial aid and students whom were the reason i dropped this school. The girls in this school are absolutely draining, every single day there was drama (which was expected in a school of 99% girls) but it wasn't just the students, the teachers, the staff- literally everyone always having drama to talk about. And coming from someone who had a bad high school experience, it just felt like i was back except it was women of all ages. Trying to stay motivated to come to school was a struggle when i hear all the other girls complaining and whinnying about coming to a school THEY signed up for. They were never pleased with anything. Any activities the staff wanted to do (although were never coordinated correctly EVER) the students just complain. I also joined October of 2025 , my first day was i guess mid way semester and was most confusing as ever. no one told me what to do, where anything was, where to go. there was no guidance from anyone and it was exhausting having to ask where everything was every 5 minutes. no one told me about procedure cards, remaking paper or physical tests or other side work until i picked up on it about a month in and had to ask myself. Finally, when i had enough of this i dropped January of this year, i went through about 5 different people just to figure out who i could get dropped through. explained to why to all of them (til this day had no clue why i had to do that) then finally reached "Financial Aid" Katie. she told me about the fees and what so, i agreed. Obviously still had to pay them some amount of money but i was not expecting to pay them almost $4K for the 4 months i came to class. This was not the cherry on top. I look into my fafsa account and see I owe TSAOB $2k ON TOP of the $4k. Me and my mom are panicking thinking they are trying to take even more money from us, not putting the $4k into the system. I try calling the school, no one answers. I text Katie asking for a email copy of receipt, (image 1) she leaves me on seen. mind you i just left her office that day. I keep trying to call the company, the school but im not getting answers from anyone for about a week. I call their office they say Katie will get back to me in the next day, two weeks go by i call again, they say she will get back to me, another week goes by. I decided to go TO the school with my mom. We have a short discussion with katie and she offers to have a "phone call"??. We obviously say no because this is an in person discussion. She says she will email my ledger and text me to set an appointment. going onto (image 2) I once again have to message this lady because me and my mom are stressing thinking they stole our money. Ms.Katie does not send my ledger till later that week and ONLY sent it because my mom called the office and told her to get back in touch or else we would go above them. At last me and my mom can compare documents JUST TO FIND OUT they were not stealing money. Katie offered to set an appointment and to this day has still not responded. This school worried me and my mother for three months thinking they just wanted more money. If only Ms.Katie had sent me my recipes the first time we asked none of this stress would've happened. I would've never attended this school if i knew all of this would happen. But then again, this is my experience. (Allegedly.)
