ITS Academy of Beauty

My daughter has natural chemical free hair, instead of the student saying she didn’t know how to roll her hair, she convince her that she can use flat irons to do so… My 13 year child came out looking like she was from the early 70’s. She cut her bad ends so uneven and then the price with higher. I was disappointed that the instructor wasn’t there to really guide them an show them different techniques. The school in Irving is good but Arlington is a NOOOOOO. SO in other words, do NOT go to Arlington

If you are planning to go to school here make sure you are prepared to throw your money away if you have to drop for any reason, they have all these hidden fees that you don’t know about and most students don’t pay attention to what they are paying because they trust the financial aid person. They are stealing the poor students money I was a victim of is so watch out!

I went yesterday evening, which starts at 5:30 PM. I got out at 8 PM cause i don’t get any hairstyle. I just get chemical relaxers and deep conditioners here.
I called in the morning and the lady who answered the phone around 11 AM said all the beauticians were busy. I called back and she said that they were all still busy and there were 2 customers waiting? On a Tuesday morning? I just stayed home and popped my Stouffer’s Cordon Blue Pasta in the oven and started watching Basketball Wives on my iPad. The dish was gonna take 85 minutes to bake so I wasn’t gonna be able to make the morning hair clinic.
I called again at 3 PM and found out they start taking clients at 5:30 PM. Mrs. Freddie is the evening teacher and she is a no nonsense person. I like that. She even recommended that I stop using Paul Mitchell’s Shampoo One and switch to Paul Mitchell’s Awapuhi. I bought some at Sally’s Beauty Supply today. I have the utmost respect for her because she is a professional. She recommends and she speaks and carries herself in a professional, non ghetto manner. She is a breath of fresh air! She checks the students work as they progress.

As I write this review I am only half way done with my visit… I will NEVER come back here… The teacher is the most horrific person you will ever meet. She was rude. argumentative and continuously mad rude comments because I have natural hair. Claiming that she couldn’t work with it. because of her I missed another engagement That I normally would have had plenty of time to get to. The only good thing about my experience was Vanessa a student that also does hair on the side. She did a great job on my hair after she had to redo what the teacher did to my head. I will be using vannesas services with out ITS. She is amazing.

Don’t go here if you have natural hair ! I went in for roller set. The Anglo-​Saxon woman who washed my hair freaked out when she realized I didn’t have a relaxer. Then she said «I don’t think it is possible for you to get a roller set with this type of hair». After she finished washing my hair (as if were a dirty sponge) she took me to her station and tried to detangle with a rat tail comb. I informed her that a wide tooth comb was best and reluctantly she switched combs, but complained so much that an African American woman who also knew NOTHING about natural hair came over and detangled the devil and his advocates out of my head. Then after half of my fro was on the ground she asked if I was «tender headed»… before I could fully utter my response she said «Yea you better not be with hair like this! «.The African American lady ended up doing the actually roller set as well because my hair was too «tough «for the other lady to deal with. The roller set itself was decent… very, very, very, dry, but decent. Thank god it was drizzling when I left… I really needed some moisture. Lastly when I signed in for my service originally they quoted me $ 6.00, but when it was time to pay they added on an extra 10.00 dollars because I had difficult hair and they needed to use more detangling spray! They should have told me about the increase before they proceeded with my hair and before I gave the lady a $ 5.00 tip !
* I have «4a/​4b» (shoulder length) curls for those who use the hair typing system.

I had an awesome haircut by a student. This is the first time I ever had a haircut at a beauty school. I have been getting so many compliments. All I can say is that this school must do a super job training their young people if my haircut is any indication.
