Centralia Beauty College

"Had my haircut and beard trimmed by Raven at the salon. She did a wonderful job wonderful person work with. I will be contacting and having Raven do my hair again thank you very much."

"I love coming to CBC for a quick Mani or even the Day of Beauty. The staff and students are always fun and friendly! I have been coming here for over 30 years!"

"I had a mani/pedi for the first time at Centralia Beauty College recently and had a great experience. Olivia did my manicure, and though she is specializing in hair, she gave me a great manicure. Leslie is passionate about nails and lashes, and she did a great pedi, and she was not satisfied until it was PERFECT! Both ladies followed safety and sanitation guidelines, and we had such fun conversations. I know these ladies will be sucessful in their future careers. I will certainly be back to have Olivia balayage my locks! Please try the school for your next service. They're so reasonable, and it gives the students the practice they need. Don't forget to tip well! They're worth every penny! Update: Leilani did a shampoo and deep conditioning treatment on my hair, and it felt so soft and it shines like new. She took her time to ensure it was a complete coverage, and she is a joy too work with. If you want special-occasion makeup, give this girl a shot. She's amazing! Leslie continues to do my pedicures, and I'll continue to see her until she graduates. She's fabulous!"

"This review is my opinion as a student. I personally have very mixed feelings about this school. Some of the instructors are the sweetest and coolest people and I enjoyed being around them so much. But, when rhea took over I wasn't as happy or as comfortable in the school. She really enjoys picking favorites, which sucks for all the other amazing students who are also doing great work. To have the owner only praise or even acknowledge one or two students that she very clearly favors. I also noticed just how unprofessional she can be with students. More than a few people had rhea call them outside of school hours to belittle and berate them on things she disagreed with. In the beginning she seemed very cool and passionate, but as time went on her true colors really did show. Also the school doesn't provide fresh water to students, no drinking fountains or water dispensers. Only water bottles that we have to purchase. As cosmetology students I had hoped to have access to fresh water to refill my own reusable water bottle, especially since hair stylists really need to stay hydrated while working sometimes hours without a break. The School wasn't horrible to attend, but I definitely wouldn't go back willingly ever again."

"I highly recommend! What a treat! We walked in w windblown hair, straight off the train and left totally pampered, relaxed and refreshed. Leslie did an especially great job cutting my fine straight hair and waxing my brows. Instructors helpful but not hovering. Leslie was very sweet and conscientious. If I lived here, I would be Leslie's regular! I would have given a 5* but there was no way for them to confirm credit on my unused dated gift certificate. No big issue. Prices and experience were tremendous!"
