Now when I open my closet I am in love with every piece I own, and I have confidence that everything I own is really going to battle for me and making me look healthier, more in focus, younger, and more positive. I should mention that while I love casual, quirky, fun styles (which work well for me) as a business owner it is very important that I also have enough pieces that convey that I am a professional at what I do- Linda explained this very well to me, and I feel that I am on my way to better first impressions and more confidence in both my business and personal life!

Linda takes the time to get to know you, shows she cares about you as a person, and has given me the knowledge and helping me build confidence to apply the color and style analysis to begin the process of choosing items that are best and not settling. I have done color analysis many times, but this is the first time that someone got it right! I highly recommend this process - in the end, it will save money and time to avoid making purchases that aren't the best.

First time guest and I had a good experience. I called and made a reservation for a haircut later…read moreon the same day and they had availability. Receptionist was polite when I arrived and about 2 minutes later my student stylist came over and introduced herself. She brought me to her vanity mirror and chair setup and I was able to put my things down. We chatted briefly about how I wanted my hair cut and then went to the wash sink chair. I had shoulder length hair and needed about 2" cut and some shaping to get it back to the layered chin length bob that I like. I have naturally wavy/curvy hair and expressed that it would be shorter when dry. Stylist was careful and thorough and 40 minutes later my hair was all cut. Took longer than a haircut elsewhere but that's the trade-off with a student training. A few days have gone by and I am pleased with the cut and the length. Two things made me hold back on giving a higher "star rating": I didn't see any teacher or supervisor making rounds or checking in with the trainees, and my hair was gummy after I left because the stylist either didn't rinse out the conditioner well enough or put too much styling product in. I understand it's a school environment but there's room for improvement in the hospitality side of the experience. Overall for a $9 wash and cut I am satisfied and would come again.

They will learn as much as they want to learn. I'm excited to see what they do with their new permanent makeup courses.

I cringe at the cost though so when possible, I'll hit up a cosmetology college or beauty school. They usually have young techs with an eye for trend, older teachers who can do 'traditional' styles well and great great prices. Last month I was home for my best friends wedding and I looked up Adam & Eve beauty school on Yelp. I called an set-up an appt for an updo... was going to get my make-up done too but, I opted for Mac instead because this school is pretty simple and didn't have make-up supplies (read: I would have had to bring my own for application). My updo... I told them I wanted a retro updo and... I kinda got it. The problem was, by the time they were done, my hair was so stiff, it felt like it was plastic. That's just not me. I ended up taking it down only shortly into the reception and was much happier when I relaxed their style. However, their curls did last all night and my altered version looked good. I'd go back as it only cost $15 for an updo. However, next time, I'll know to tell them light on the products and explain my natural preferences more. :) Honestly, I'm so bad at my own hair that if I had a beauty college close, I'd go to have my hair done for simple nights out! They also do cheap hair cuts. Might see ya there!

This school is a complete joke and utterly disrespectful and "ghetto". I visited this so called…read moreestablishment with a friend for services last week and I was appalled! The lack of professionalism and respect towards paying customers and guest. During this visit I overheard a grown man "instructor" with a mask tell a young lady that she is only here to add bodies to her roster, insinuating she was some sort of Hoe. I was flabbergasted by that comment and I'm hoping she addressed this with management and with her parents. How dare he tell this to a child!!!! You can clearly tell that this "school" has high school students attend with no formal training or respect. The amount of profanity and disrespectful language that was coming out of these kid's mouths had me in complete shock!Management clearly does not care about the education or well being of the students and it clearly shows that they are in it for the money and should definitely be reported to the board of education.something is not right with this so called "school" There were 2 male barber students who clearly exemplify what an ideal student should be and the others should take notes! An older male student attended to my friends service (flat iron)and showed compassion and respect during her time. I thank him for being so professional. As for "Transformed" itself, this school needs an entire makeover along with etiquette training for their students. I will never return to this location and I hope and pray that these students/children get the proper education they deserve!
