Astute Artistry

"This company Astute Artistry is so unprofessional and scam artists! After being patient with them due to Jamie Kothe being sick, If that was even true! I was receiving laser treatments from them. and I only had (2) treatments done, and I was supposed to receive 7 treatments in total. I spoke with the owner Lisa Glickoff who promised me once Jamie K was feeling better that she would resume my treatments. Which was a lie! After several calls, emails, texts and no shows at her office or no ONE responded. Them two ripped me off out of hundreds of dollars. Even if they offer me a refund it would had been ok! So now I guess I have to wait until we go to smalls clams court. I would not even recommend my dog period. Please don't let them rip you off."

"I am a student at Astute Artistry and I am loving it. I have the honor of having Lisa G. the owner as my teacher. I have learned so much but still learning a lot more. She is a great teacher and makes sure each and every one of her students understands the material before moving on. I would recommend this school to anyone who is interested in makeup, film, fashion and a lot more."

"I am a professional Makeup Artist that has taken classes at Astute Artistry. After completing the class I began working for Lisa. She taught me a lot and I am grateful. I encourage people to come to Astute with an open mind, ready to do the work and motivated for their future. You truly get out of it what you put into it. I also noticed that I was mentioned in some of the reviews... One in particular... Dena. She was given a FREE class that we did a random drawing for. She didn't have to pay for classes so she can't say she was scammed when she didn't pay for her education... and as far as Bianca goes... I'm still affiliated with Astute Artistry. But because I have worked hard at my craft, I am working in films so I'm not there everyday. On a more positive note... I am excited about what the future has in store for Astute Artistry! Now is the time to take advantage of what this school has to offer!"

"So I will start off by saying this. I don't know anything about makeup, I don't know much about hair styles, I don't know the first thing about facials, manicures and a multitude of other girly things. Not because I don't want to know but mostly I don't care. That being said, what I do know is when something looks like crap and something looks awesome. Astute Artistry makes things look awesome. I have worked with them over the years and I have seen nothing but stellar work on their part, particularly in their special effects and Halloween body painting. I have been to all of their Skin Cancer Charity events, Halloween parties and I used their services to paint me for Halloween. Let me tell you why my Halloween costume was awesome. Lisa, the owner, personally did her work on me and I was a swamp monster. She spent a solid 4 hours painting my body from face to my waist. After I left, the following happened 1. I freaked out a kid at CVS because my costume was so terrifying. 2. I won multiple costume contests, so my made my money back and then some. 3. Lisa cleverly drew the illusion of six-pack abs on my stomach... which was probably the most impressive feat of the night. 4. Ordering food late night at Taco Bell was never more entertaining All in all, Astute Artistry really does live up to their name. They did an amazing job with my costume and I have seen them only improve over the years. Lisa is an awesome person to work with and I had fun the whole time. If their makeup training, hair styling, massage therapy, or any other eyebrow related services they perform are even half as good as the Halloween costumes, you are in for an awesome ride."

"I bought their Groupon's eyelash extensions and boy did I regret it. From the moment I stepped foot into the place I second guessed myself. I wanted to leave immediately but I had already paid for the service so I decided to stay. I ended up having to go to another place to get my eyelash extensions removed and my natural eyelashes were so damaged after only one week. I also learned that the people there are not even licensed to do eyelash extensions so you can imagine how mad that made me. Astute Artistry is probably one of the worst businesses I've dealt with. Their facility is very small and dark and looks dirty. The girl who did my eyelashes was on the computer when I arrived and she took me and started working on me without even washing her hands. There was a class going on at the same time and the instructor invited the students to come and watch as I was getting my eyelashes put on without even asking if it was ok with me. This made me so uncomfortable I wanted to scream. At the end my eyelashes didn't even look any different at all and whoever saw them didn't notice a difference either. Before I left they told me that if I write a good review about them online they would give me discounts on future services and I figured this is probably why they have good reviews on here because otherwise it would make no sense. Anyway, I hope this helps someone with their decision about getting any service from them."
