I'm a little biased, being a recent alum of SFIEC's esthetics program, but I really can't find anything negative to say about this school. I really feel as though I received a top notch education...

OK, so I will definitely go back, since my hair is easy and short, and I am a man. Stylists usually use trimmers on the sides of my hair and in back, since I keep my hair cut short. Apparently using...

Let me start out by saying that I would never have anything permanent done by students- no color, cut, waxing, etc. It's simply too risky. However, I have gone here for blow outs and straightening...

this has to be by far the worst cosmetology school and salon. The employees are terribly rude, the teachers don't supervise enough, and they are NEVER on time! If you need a day of beauty dont just walk, but...

Be patient, speak up, be clear and remember they're learning! I've had good experiences here. Pedicures are done in a stainless steel bowl, so you know you're NEVER going to pick up some fungi here!
