    I found this place from a Craigslist and (sounds sketchy, I know), but I'm glad I did! I offered to be a model for eyelash extensions, and I'm very pleased by the work Nui did! Since this is a school, it took a bit longer (3 hours) than it would at a professional salon, but I'm glad she took her time! Is seems like they are making an effort to really teach their students well and to pay attention to detail! When I was getting my eyelashes done, another student even let me borrow her phone charger! During the service, there were quite a few people coming in and out, which is expected from a school, but a suggestion for improvement would be to have the students go into a different room if they were going to be socializing, so it wouldn't be too loud! Overall, the quality of service was great, just expect it to take longer than usual, since they are students! Parking: there is parking across the street that you can pay $5 to park during your appointment! (cash only)

    If I could I would give this place zero stars.... Beware of a lady named Thuy. She LOVES to over charge people and she acts like she knows what she is doing because she claims to be a "professional" but honestly she needs to get her beauty license revoked! My biggest mistake was calling in to inquire if they did "balayage" services. Thuy picked up and she sounded confident about it so I thought it would be safe to give her a try. When I came in I showed her an example picture of the balayage I wanted. She told me it would cost more due to my hair length ~$190 almost mid back (mind you, I had been growing it out for quite some time so I definitely wanted to keep the length) Sketchy enough for the price, I had opted for the additional hair cut and decided on just a color. She began working on my hair and also another WARNING sign had occurred that I ignored since she claimed to be a "professional" I didn't want to question her techniques... After lightening my hair she was literally teasing my hair at the roots then painted on the color without seperating each strip with foil or plastic wrap... The WHOLE process took 6.5 hours... And within that time she put a buttload of chemicals on my hair.. washed and blow dried probably 3 times... But the end result was uneven almost peroxide ORANGE hair! It was my worst nightmare... I had endured almost 7 hours of wasted time and money where I could have just seen a REAL professional for the same price OR LESS in half the time and could have actually given me what I wanted. I demanded to speak with the owner Kim and I expressed how unhappy I was and that I had a wedding to go to in TWO days! While I was talking to her Thuy had the nerve to raise her voice with ME (the customer with orange hair!) saying she did what I asked for and pointed at the picture. NOPE, it was the complete opposite and far from what I had asked for. I did not ask to be transformed into a troll! Kim gave me a discount, but Thuy is lucky I even paid. But I've learned my lesson, I am NEVER EVER stepping foot into another Beauty School!

    Got a mani and pedi here, the kids are super nice here. However, there was no supervisor or teacher around when the apprentice perform their services. Easily the worst mani/pedi I've ever had. They just didn't know how to fix things when something didn't go well. Kudos to the kids that work very hard and handled unhappy customers nicely. Please have someone there to help them learn, as this is a "beauty school"

    I found Vuu's while searching for a Groupon for microblading. As always, I filtered my findings through yelp and read a lot of positive reviews about their microblading procedure. I accepted the fact that it may be a student working on me because I knew that the instructor would be very involved, and you couldn't beat the price. I was thrilled to find out that only the master microblader Kim would be performing the procedure. She is SO GOOD. Sadly, I've never been able to grow my eyebrows, so she pretty much had a blank canvas. I was amazed by the perfect, natural looking brows that she had created. She went above and beyond my expectations, and my expectations are always high! I have a pretty low pain tolerance so I was a bit worried about that but she used a strong numbing cream and it really helped. Trust me on this one, if you are looking for microblading, Kim is your girl!!!

    TL;DR: This place seems fine for haircuts, poor for nail services. I came here for a gel mani and pedi for a living social voucher I purchased. I called to make an appointment but apparently too early in advance because I arrived and there was no one there to do nails. Fine, someone took my number and called me back half an hour later telling me to come back again. Just a waste of time, don't bother with appointments and just call day of. When I got there she seemed concerned about my closed toed shoes, and gave the impression that there were no disposable flip flops or means to dry my toes (fortunately both were false and they do have the regular pedi accessories). The pedicure was nothing to write home about but it did come out clean. No buffing or foot scrubbing of any sort though. My gel mani was unfortunately awful, tepid water, refused to clip my nails (so what if I like them short), no buffing or smoothing at all. She didn't let it cure properly and turned out very patchy. I picked a nude that turned out to be a little sheer and asked for an additional coat and she refused. Finished with a whole load of alcohol and mixed the lotion right in. I totally get that they are a school and in training but for double the time of a normal mani-pedi it was a fraction of the effort.

    The instructor should have been with the girl who did my nails, she was brand new. Took almost an hour and a half to do my toes.

Really experienced and super nice. 4/5 stars because i was told by one supervisor the student would be "right with me" and then had no update and waited for 40 minutes.

However, just recently, several of my appointments have started at least 30 minutes late with no explanation, when I can sometimes see the students and instructors chatting away. Parking is only for 2 hours, so this adds to the stress. My appointment for a "simple root touchup" is always over 2 hours. I'm never asked if I'm satisfied, like they do with the skin care part, they should! And the professionalism (by some) and communication seems to have gone down. I've been left in a chair for some 20 mins for no explainable reason when my hair was no where near done or color even mixed. The volume inside seems to increasingly go up. Younger students? "Better" sound system? Less instructors? It just seems to be a chaotic environment. I've wanted to tell this to someone in person but the front desk was busy. (Not a complaint on that part. This is a business after all...) Disappointed. I'm coming back for one last try.

For my second appointment, I honestly didn't realize I would be expected to have my camera on. I wasn't told ahead of time that it was required, and in my past virtual meetings with other colleges or any other virtual appointments, it had never been an issue. Unfortunately, I happened to be in the middle of dyeing my hair and had a face mask on, so I was embarrassed to turn my camera on. I apologized multiple times and took full responsibility for not being prepared. Instead of feeling understood, I felt like the conversation became focused on why I wasn't turning my camera on. The admissions representative repeatedly said she was uncomfortable because my camera was off and continued bringing up that I had already rescheduled once. It made me feel like I was being judged or viewed with suspicion rather than treated as a prospective student. When I explained that I was simply embarrassed about how I looked, I didn't feel like my explanation was acknowledged. I asked if we could reschedule, and although she said she would message me to set up another appointment, I never received any follow-up. This interaction left me feeling uncomfortable and very unwelcome. I understand professionalism goes both ways, and I accept responsibility for not being camera-ready. However, I also believe there could have been more understanding and empathy in handling the situation. As someone genuinely interested in the school, this first impression has unfortunately made me reconsider attending.

    (Spa services review)…read more I'm generally a fan of visiting the Euro Institute for spa services and depending on what you're after, is a flip-flop between here and the Evergreen Beauty College that's about ten minutes away. Here, while it's also a beauty school, has placed an emphasis on building the ambiance that many professional spa services build for clientele. There's the nature-themed furniture and plants in the lobby (maybe from Marshall's or Homegoods), quiet sounds of waves and bells in the spa area, dimmed artificial lights, good air circulation, lots of natural light coming in from the second floor, and overall just a quiet, inclusive-feeling environment. There's also the option to do the spa treatments with a wrap. When you're led to the restroom to do so, there's three restroom stalls and a larger open area to change and put your items in an open cubby. It would've been nice to have something like shower stalls to change in for privacy instead of choosing between taking a restroom stall or changing in the open. The amount of machines, devices, and spa treatment materials used was worth the price. For one of the facial treatments I got, there were LED light treatments, masks, eye coverings, steam towels, steam treatment, arm and facial massages, toner, and other services included for under $60. Both times I went, the students were well-accommodating and balanced between asking questions and keeping the quiet ambiance. There are some features I'd appreciate if they were implemented like online scheduling (can only be done through the phone or in-person), spacing out the spa tables more/having less of them (students easily bumped into other machines or had to navigate around things because of how cramped it was), and the private changing stalls as noted above. Overall, a really nice and more affordable way to treat yourselves or others as a gift. Driving in and out can be a challenge because it's situated next to a busy, major intersection.

I thought I would have my eyes covered with a slice of cucumber at the very least, but that didn't happen. Nevertheless, it was quite relaxing. I left feeling greasy after the oil blend, so would probably try another service next time. Keep in mind that they are students performing the services which means they can't receive tips by credit card. I made that mistake and didn't bring cash. Will know better by next time!

    I'll start off by sharing a positive experience I had at The Studio Seattle, which was getting to…read morelearn from Hailey Henderson. Hailey is as excellent of an instructor as she is an actor. She clearly loves teaching and is incredibly knowledgeable about acting theory and applications. Hailey has high expectations for her learners and is also deeply compassionate, a perfect combination for creating an effective learning environment. I am immensely grateful to have been able to learn with her. Hailey is the primary instructor for The Studio Seattle, whereas Andrew Tsao is the artistic director and founder. Andrew was going to cover the last several weeks of classes in my Acting Foundations 2 class series, and prior to this he co-taught a class with Hailey. In this class, Andrew had us participate in exercises where we would be improvising interactions with a scene partner. These scenes were meant to be highly realistic- we were playing ourselves and had similar relationships to each other as we do in real life. Our objectives and given circumstances were given to us individually, without our scene partner's (or the class's) knowledge. In one scene, Andrew had one of our male classmates play the role of a sexual predator towards not one, but two of our classmates. When his scene partner responded to his unwanted advances authentically, by attempting to distract the perpetrator and leave, Andrew told her that she was responding incorrectly and that should/would in fact "fight". He also told her that her "avoidance" would be a hindrance to her as an actor. In another scene, part of the given circumstances was that one of my classmates had had an abortion. I followed up with Andrew expressing my concern that not one, but two extremely sensitive topics, particularly for women, were chosen for these exercises. I stated that that the nature of the exercises required us to be ourselves, thereby increasing the level of sensitivity and creating a high potentiality for trauma/re-traumatization. I acknowledged that while actors do work with difficult content, we get to choose and consent to this, which was not an option in this situation (since we did not know our scene partner's backgrounds or objectives). I stated my expectation that content will be more thoughtfully chosen for these exercises moving forward and that learners be made more fully aware of their options. Andrew's initial response acknowledged that he could have been more thoughtful in ensuring everyone was aware that they could opt out of the exercises. He did not address my concerns over the nature of the content itself, other than implying that more experienced actors would have been fine with the content (I have since heard from multiple other acting instructors that this is not at all the case). I responded by saying that I appreciated his effort to improve transparency around opting out of exercises moving forward. I again stated my concern over the content itself, particularly as it relates to women, and expressed skepticism that more experienced actors would have been fine with the content. Overall, I felt like my concerns were dismissed. Andrew responded by disinviting me to continue attending classes at The Studio Seattle. Based on my experience, I'm of the opinion that Andrew Tsao is not interested in feedback as it relates to the safety of his students, particularly women. For this reason, I would caution any woman/female person against taking classes at The Studio Seattle.
