Hollywood Institute

"Yesterday was my first introduction to this particular beauty school services and they did NOT disappoint! I was referred to a particular barber (Michael Epps) by my daughter who used the school services recently. Upon my initial intro, I explained to him specifically what I wanted done to my natural short hair. And he executed to almost perfection! I was more satisfied at this school than I’ve been using my regular barbers during the year. Most of all, the inexpensive cost can’t be beat!! Everyone should give these STUDENTS IN TRAINING” a chance for these different services offered. But remember, some are better & further along than others. For example, the barber I mentioned says he’s been doing hair for 30+ years. But he just needed to get his license to become “official” in the workplace & society. Finally, because the cost at these beauty schools are minimal, lease be sure to tip graciously as your heart is led."

"I went in for a silk press. I was a little nervous because I have gone to the same stylist for the past 3 years. The staff were very welcoming and friendly so that definitely helped my nerves. It took a little longer than usual but I didn’t mind given that it was a learning experience for the student. I feel horrible for not remembering her name but she was very nice and she did a great job. I have fairly thick curly her. She managed to get it washed very well and she made sure it was completely dry before she began to flat iron it. Definitely visiting again."

"Excellent experience once again. My hairdresser was Alicia and she was very professional at her work. Ms. Verna the instructor was amazing in her direction to the students. Great job you all!!!!"

"Today has been our second but not last visit to Hollywood Institute. I can not think of anything but good to say about this place. Miss T your students are so great ! Our first visit to this school was to take my daughter and her cousin in for some braids. They were the last appointments in for the night and Alicia G did them braids so fast but most importantly the girls loved them Dutch braids on themselves. Today was just my daughter and she had a mani. She just can’t stop looking at them baby blue gel mani she has on. Idk the girl’s name she didn’t say but she had long braids on. And right after the mani appointment my daughter had her braids scheduled. She met with Miss Alicia again. She did not disappoint with those Heart of Star Braids my daughter requested. She was in and out and her hair looks absolutely amazing ! We will definitely be back for more appointments. I just want to let you know Miss T that your students are learning from the best and their craft is only getting better !!!"

"I had a good massage at a great price, but my front counter experience was less than ideal. I arrived 15 minutes before my appointment, checked in and signed and returned the forms given to me. I was asked to wait; unfortunately, the person at the front counter forgot about me. Only when another employee came to ask what I was waiting for did the front counter employee realize she’d forgotten to give me other forms that had been sitting there since I’d arrived. Ultimately took 20 minutes past my appointment time to get started. By no means was this a bad experience. I feel the front counter wasn’t given the support it needed for the number of people in line. Even a simple apology would have made up for the delay. Instead, they handed me the forms without even looking in my direction. If this is a school, let’s ensure the front counter is appropriately trained for customer service."
