Jamie gave me a hydration facial and was incredibly professional. My face felt amazing afterward — especially after a shave, it felt so refreshed. The facial space was clean and smelled wonderful, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!
Came in for a quick wash and conditioning treatment, great place! The teacher Diana was super helpful, super nice to talk to, and the student went on to tell me how much they’ve learned from her and how she’s so fun to be around. She seems like a great teacher for these students
DO NOT COME HERE. Save your money and go somewhere else!!!!!! This is by far one of the most unprofessional schools around. They promise you a textbook, but you never receive one,only temporary access to an e-book that you don’t even get to keep. They also advertise that you’ll learn waxing, lashes, brows, and other services, but they barely teach any of it. New students start every two weeks, so nobody is ever on the same page. On my first day, they were already talking about chemical peels instead of starting from the basics like every other school. Everyone looks lost because nobody explains anything, and students are constantly left to figure things out on their own. Once you become a senior, you spend most of your time sitting around doing nothing while the instructors seem uninterested. They take hours from students, there is no organization, and everyone is frustrated. After spending thousands of dollars and countless hours, there isn’t even a graduation ceremony or any recognition for completing the program. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!!! There are much better schools that actually care about their students and provide the education they promise.
Instructor Leslie is so unprofetional and very disrespectful she has no manners and is not very welcoming at all. The girls on the floor are lovely. Its a shame they have an instructor wich so much bad energy. This institute will be better off with out her!
There's a lot to unpack here. First let me just say do not go here unless you plan on teaching yourself the majority. While there are some great instructors, the place is a rotating door of staff which already says a lot. But from a student perspective there are so many shady things that go on, I paid my tuition half using a pell grant and the other half self pay. The forum they used is TFC. which has its own log in. I paid it in full and when asking for my transcripts a surprise fee they said I didnt pay. On top of that theyre scamming the department of education and students by invoicing a 900$ supply kit with minimal items majority purchased from what looks like the dollar store. As well as charging for a full blown text book. However. They only give you access to the online one. Not a physical one you can keep. But you can only access it for 2 years so youre being charged for something you dont even own. Getting a hold of anyone in order to clarify these is a joke. Waiting weeks at a time for one response and you might get one that day. But be prepared to wait for the conversation to continue. Nothing but a bunch of people trying to avoid the sinking ship that is that school.
As a Student- DO NOT ATTEND HERE! Let me tell you my experience- first off, everything they promise you in your tour and orientation is a straight lie. I was promised an education with lashes, makeup, hair, nails, etc. Here is the reality- you will learn hair with multiple curriculums going on at the same time (means no one is consistently learning the same thing at any given time, you learn lashes as in you get a zoom teacher and no supplies to practice on, makeup? Naw that is another zoom class and you never get to practice on any real clients- now nails? Yes you learn basic manicures and pedicures and be prepared to have more nail clients than haircuts because it’s a cheap service and gskin doesn’t want to do anything to bring in more clients for haircuts. Be prepared to do everything on your own when you don’t have a client (what little clients come in) because there is no day teacher for seniors that actually teaches you. The school manager/day teacher constantly lies and uses retaliation and intimidation tactics to bully students who bring up valid concerns and questions. The trick is that gskin cares very little about you as a student graduating and learning- all they want is to sign you up as soon as possible- get your tuition money and by the time you realize that this school is a big bait and switch - your stuck here because you can’t get a refund and they won’t let you transfer your hours to another school. Do your own research and look at other schools who offer a quality education rather than this sham of a “school” for the thousands you will be paying in tuition. 11/19/25- we have no color, no developer, no shampoo, no conditioner, no toner- our teacher is canceling clients because the office manager and corporate refuse to do anything. As a student you will learn nothing here and get no experience and the owner and director could care less. 11/12/25- again no SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER, color, toner, or developer for our clients… this is the 5th time we have no supplies for weeks and all we hear is excuses from management. This is unacceptable- where is my $23k tuition going?? My teacher is forced to cancel clients because we can’t Frankenstein color on clients. The office manager cannot do her job. This place is not safe for clients!
The kits they give the students here SUCKK!! $16k tuition and we get absolutely nothing valuable for learning. Also most of the education material is self taught. Teachers are switched out every other week from quitting.
