Elite Beauty School

This place is a piece of crap. The most dirties place I’ve been to. The people do not respect appointments. I’m pretty sure they don’t understand the meaning of appointments. Never go here. Very UNPROFESSIONAL! I would give it 0 stars if possible.

My hair grows out fast and I need a haircut every week. Going to a barber shop would cost me $ 15 a week. I go here now because I can get a haircut for only $ 3 with pretty much that same results. I would give it 5 stars, but the students or workers there likes to talk bad about clients or me in Vietnamese like I can’t understand them.

As a general statement, here are new arrivals from Vietnam learning to do hair, nails and skin. And, more importantly, learning to gossip if they don’t already know (lol). If a guy was serious about it and left a good impression, he could maybe find a bride here if a nice, young woman from rural Vietnam is your desire. You could do worse. The girls here will match you up! You have to learn Vietnamese, though, ’cause most have limited English. And you have to be genuinely sincere and nice, cause the collective intelligence of the Asian girls will get to the truth pretty quickly. Just assume everyone (except you) knows everything here. Don’t underestimate them, they play for keeps!
For a guy, the pedicure nail trim and cleaning was adequate ($ 6). Don’t be silly and ask me about the nail painting, since I am of course clueless about that. The facial was pretty good, almost one hour ($ 12).

3 and a half star
At lunch students eat their sandwich next to people getting their bunions and feet washed lol mmmm. Sandwich must taste tht good…
If u get an experienced student it’s Logical youll get good work less experience and lack of touch it won’t turn out so well tht s how it goes Nails and hair be prepared to wait a while double what a salon would take in time …

$ 4 haircut for students to practice and learn on your head. Came in to trim my hip length hair came out with nearly a shoulder bob. Didn’t ask for it but they needed to keep cutting my hair to even it out. LOl, good thing I wasn’t expecting much especially with my «eh, it’s just hair — it’ll grow back» attitude. Oh Wells, $ 10 dye job is only for touch ups and roots. $ 20 for the head

Don’t expect this place to be the slightest bit professional. Mix bargain and Asian together and you get this place. They do an OK job. Most of the time you either walk out feeling indifferent for just slightly satisfied. It’s not bad if you’re looking for something extremely basic. Don’t come here if you’re looking to try a new hair style or drastic color change.

I give this place a zero! I know going to beauty school I wasnt expecting a $ 20 pedi, but what i was expecting was for the teachers to teach the students about cleanliness and sanitizing their tools. One student was using a tool on someone and my lady went and got the same tool and without cleaning it or sanitizing it started using it on my toes! then, as I was paying more attention to where those tools were being used, they were alll just being passed around and used on each person receiving service! The place was disgusting and dirty with cotton balls and trash all over the floors. I originally was set to receive a facial too, but after i saw how dirty this place was i didnt want any dirty tools or hands near my face.

This place is crap. It’s where really cheap people go to get serviced by students.
It’s the typical immigrant small business undercutting similar shops to attract volume. Customers get rock-​bottom prices, and the owner gets a steady stream of guinea pigs for the students to practice on.
I think the students/​workers are supposed to park in the back, but I’ve seen many of them parking in the front. This takes away many parking spots from customers of other businesses and exacerbates the parking and driving problems in this plaza.
P. S. The commercial property of this entire plaza was recently sold to another owner. The new owner painted the buildings (except Stater Bros) a horrific orange-​ish color, and raised everyone’s rents.

This place is super ghetto, don’t come in here expecting it to look like Paul Mitchell The School. I have very thick, coarse hair and I get hot oil treatments here from time to time. It’s only $ 6 and every student I’ve encountered gives a really enjoyable and relaxing head/​neck massage when they wash my hair. Mani/pedi’s are also way cheap but I don’t recommend them because they don’t have comfortable chairs and they are very slow since they are under the watchful eyes of the instructors. I’m too afraid of getting haircuts or any dye/​perm services here but again very inexpensive!

Sure the place is dirty but for the price I can’t complain.
My sister LOVES this place for their facials… it takes about an hour and if you have acne like she does, they’ll pop them. She said it didn’t hurt and didn’t leave scarring so she was happy. The facial was only $ 12.
I got the oil treatment. It included hair wash, oil treatment, another hair wash and blow drying for only $ 6! Total time it took was 30 min or so.
My cousin got her hair straightened using the Japanese system and she had shoulder length hair but even so, that took 5 hours. not kidding. They had to wash her hair 3 times and straighten it about 2 times. I love her hair now, its nice and smooth, only downside is that she can’t get her hair wet for 3 days. =/​yuck. Hair straightening cost $ 40 for her hair. For longer hair it would be about $ 60.
I think i’ll come here again every month to get the oil treatment. It’s such a good deal and left my hair smooth.

Have low expectations when you come here. People here are so messy and all over the place, knocking things over, looks like they don’t know what to do (well duh, right?) that’s beauty school for you. What do you expect? Your head is their practical (good or bad) that’s your risk! These students & graduates already aren’t professionals. Prices here are super low :)
$ 4 for hair cuts, $ 10 for color.
I got my hair highlighted for $ 15. (bleach&toned)
They did a pretty good job, getting it to be super blond on the bottom, but on the top it wasn’t left on for long enough so it’s kinda orangey-​brown. but not so bad. It probably would’ve came out the way I wanted if we had more time, but it was wayyy past over due their closing time which was 5pm on a saturday. The lady that did my hair stayed till 7 where she was the only one left. So that’s nice of her to stay back and not rush to go home at 5.
Tip: Cash Only

i had a straight perm and it did not turn out the way i expected at all. yes the price was a bargain but after i went home my hair was breaking in clumps near the roots. i had my hair straight permed twice before and that had never happened to me. so i went back a couple of days after to see the owner and it took me an hour for the workers to let me speak to the owner. she put conditioner on and when i went home it was still breaking. the following week i went to ask for my money back and the people who worked there won’t even let me talk to the owner!!! my advice, if you want to perm your hair in anyway, go to the professionals even if it’s more pricey. the bargain you get from this place is not worth your hair falling out and breaking.
