I came for a facial here to try it out. I have to say, I was very impressed. The reception and treatment areas are spotless. The students are very knowledgeable and professional. It’s unbelievable what you can get for so little money.

I was visiting my grandparents in Illinois and I had heard about this school from my friend Lauren (she is an instructor there). I figured I would stop in to say hi to her and get a facial, as I am a mom of 3 little boys and dont get a lot of time for myself. I booked enough time for a facial and ended up coming there 3 times for different services. Each one was more amazing than the last! I got a facial, spray tan and a hair color. I was in awe at the professionalism from the students! The next time I am back in Illinois, I will definitely be there to get more services done!

My friend Courtney and I went in for facials Wednesday night and our Estheticians were students Erin and Tiffany. They greeted us with smiles and were amazing! They both helped us determine our skin type (mine is normal) and helped us with skin care products that would best suit us. I am pregnant and they were knowledgeable and utilized the correct products specifically for me. I felt very comfortable there. Their instructor, Miss Lauren, was wonderful too! She introduced herself and helped us check out. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an affordable and amazing skin treatment! I will definitely be coming back!

Was tired of paying over $130 dollars at my regular posh Oakbrook salon for color and cut and looking for an alternative. Had visited a few schools providing these services and stumbled upon this one which was practically in my backyard! Hidden gem. I didnt know it was here. I was nervous about letting students work on my hair but my fears subsided when I saw how serious and professional the students were and how closely supervised they were by their instructor, Matt, who was very knowledgeable and experienced. He suggested a few minor changes that were spot on. The facility is clean and beautiful, looks like a high end salon. I had my stylist, Gia copy what my regular stylist had been doing but I feel confident enough to try a different cut next time! Will definitely return. Cant beat the $33 dollars I was charged for a quality cut and color AND got more attention and suggestions about my hair than I do from my regular salon. Looking forward to trying their other services. Just remember to allow a little extra time because the stylists are students in a teaching environment. They are a small school and the stylists are busy at peak times, so best to schedule an appointment or call ahead if you are a walk in to see if they can take you. Tip: The color turns out just a tad darker than samples, which I was told, but still gorgeous. To the school: Please post price list on your website.

Fatanstic Experience! A friend of mine (Lauren) works at this location but I decided to check it out separately and write an unbiased review. I went in for a haircut, and my apologies, as the girl who cut my hair her name is slipping me at the moment, but she did a better job than my regular barber! Prices are extremely reasonable, Ill definitely be back! Thank you!

I came in here for a facial Friday morning.. and I am so in love! The place is so beautiful inside and clean, and the person taking care of me (Brandon) was so great with me. He explained everything I had with my face and told me what and why he used the stuff he did on me. I was there for about 45minutes.. I almost fell asleep lol. I will be returning and bringing my mom and aunt with me.

I have been looking to get my legs waxed so I stumbled upon this school. I have never been to a school to get a waxing service done but I figured for the affordable price, I would give it a try. I went on a Thursday night and was assisted by Mallory and Tiffany and they waxed my legs. I have had my legs waxed before by a professional, and they both did a better job than her and they were students! I met with their instructor Miss Lauren beforehand and she asked if it was ok if two students did my service and I said absolutely. I thought it was so nice of her to ask me beforehand to make sure I was comfortable with it. I will continue going there for my waxing, as they were quick and very professional. I never thought a leg wax could be fun, but Mallory and Tiffany made it fun for me!

I went in for a facial at night and Mallory was awesome. The school was very clean and she was very professional. The instructor Lauren checked to be sure my service was top notch and was very knowledgeable about products to try. I will be going again.

I am SO impressed by this school. What a BEAUTIFUL establishment! I am a nail salon owner for 10 years and I am impressed with this school, the cleanliness and professionalism I encountered is BEYOND words. Something I can whole heartedly say from going to schools for my continued education hours and experience is that I am very confident in what I saw.The students are comfortable in an atmosphere of relaxation and education. The instructor, teaching took his time to oversee the consultation of my daughter and her wishes of what she wanted to achieve. He had total confidence with Ashleigh (The student of the school) and she had NO problem asking for his guidance, knowing no judgements would be given. I observed him teaching students and he was engaged while instructing them and you could see they were comfortable in watching him and learning. Ashleigh was professional in EVERY aspect of the appointment. I would highly recommend this establishment for a person who wants a career in cosmetology or to go and receive a service from this school.

High quality work done by interesting and fun staff. Id give it a 5 except for the fact that because these are students, they take longer--expect an hour. But it is well worth it if you have the time!

Before I went on vacation, I decided to go in a for a leg wax. I wasnt sure what to expect but the student was fantastic and they didnt miss any hair! I believe that their instructors name was Mrs. Lauren and she was really great and helped the student when she got stuck. I will definitely be going there again.

Not recommended!Granted it is a University and all the service providers are students (which is why the rates are lower) but even so...The sheets they use on their massage/facial beds are stained and smell badly!It is hard to relax when the walls separating the little rooms dont go all that high and you can hear everyone in the studio discussing their life affairs, especially employees discussing another day at the university, their co-workers and clients matters.
