I had a perm done by student Ms. Katie Tran, she was so good and I am very happy for my curly hair. Katie is very professional, knows what to do the best for her clients. She is an amazing gifted artist!

Omg….Katie Tran is amaaaaazing!!! I have been to her twice and both times I was so happy with how she did my hair!!! I received so many compliments…. she is magical at anything beauty!!! Do yourself a favor and book her for an appointment… you will not be disappointed!!!

I was impressed with this place versus another beauty college I went to in the past. My boyfriend and I went here for facials. We loved our experience.

Dont go.... Just dont! If you are debating on going, like I was, then just dont go. Spend the extra money and go to someone with experience. Im really saddened to say this because I know everyone has to learn however when you ask for a certain color (showed pictures) and it is NOT even close to the color you asked for and when you ask for a certain cut (showed pictures) and what you get is something I could have done my self with a pair of scissors and a bowl then you know you made a huge mistake and it is too late the damage has been done. Now I will need to take my daughter to a professional to see what they can do to make it a little less embarrassing for her. I do wish all the best to the students however I wont be recommending anyone to use their services.

Like this place very much, the young lady who took care of me was awesome, love her work I schedule future appointments with ms Sanchez .

5 dolla extra for French tip.

My facial was amazing! These guys do such a great job training their students. I am returning for a another facial!

Brenda Avalos is a wonderful hair stylist and is friendly..accommodating..and commited to good service

Ive been here before .. drastic changes. For color and deep conditioning put too much chemicals in my hair feels like hay... cheap products. Not worth $50

I started CAofB back in July 2018 and I am so glad I chose this school for my beauty career goals and needs. Being a Sassoon certified school and the opportunities we receive as students for education due to Wella, has been extremely valuable for me. I highly recommend this school for its education and opportunity during as well as opportunities after graduation.

Thank you so much for all that you did for Baileigh. What a amazing school and experience.

They refuse to shut down during the pandemic and risk everyones lives. Hand sanitizer wont bring back a family member. They say its up to the students to decide if they want to go home. Absurd!

STUDENT REVIEW WITH HELPFUL TIPS FOR CUSTOMERS : I am a student in the cosmetology program at this school . This school will go above and beyond to prepare you for your stateboard exam . We are also a Sassoon partnership school so we learn precise color and cutting techniques along with classes in current hairstyling and coloring techniques . We get trained in Brazilian blowout, Japanese hair straightening, mens clipper cutting and more . The reason this is such a great school is because you get to focus on both creative technique plus being able to prepare for state board, most cosmetology schools in the so cal area seem to focus on one or the other . We have an amazing extern ship program that offers in salon training to prepare you for the real world after you graduate . The school also has a career placement recruiter Michele, who is amazing and she will do anything she can to help you find the perfect salon to fit your needs and personality . Coral in the office is so warm and welcoming and will answer any questions you have about enrollment and will go above and beyond to help you get your career started . I honestly love the staff here . They have helped me reach goals and have helped me start a career I love !! If youre thinking about going to school please give this place a call !Tips for clients (from a student perspective )We do accept walk ins, but if we dont have enough students on the floor that day staff cant guarantee a spot, youll have the best luck making an appointment a week or so in advanced.Please remember we are students and we are still learning, so if we take a little longer than normal on your hair its because we want you to look and feel amazing and we want to make sure that we are doing the procedure correctly !Our coaches on the floor are accountable for more than one student at a time and our school takes pride on the integrity of your hair and skin, so if they suggest something different for you its for your own good ! We want you feeling fabulous not sad !!!!Also I graduate in August and if anyone would like to come get their hair done and feel great ask for TONI !!!

I go to school here now and I have pros and cons about this school. A pro is that its the closest school I have found. A con for me is that my teacher is Asian or Chinese idk but I am having a difficulty learning because I have a hard time understanding her. I wish she could pronounce words better. Other than that shes a hard worker.Oh and the office doesnt help you much. Its a good thing I knew how to do my fafsa already but she didnt even help me much she wanted me to do everything at home. If I was new at it I would of been lost.

I enjoyed going to school here! Coral is by far tge nicest person who is very helpful. I love Mrs. Tina aka Christina

Where to begin, this place is awful. I witnessed several code violations, im surprised that state board has not shut them down

I love the students but some of the staff can be unpleasant. Especially Natalie, she is so rude and I cannot stand talking to her. They need somebody new at the front desk, someone who is a little bit more respectful to others & a people person cause she is not.

Amazing work done and not overly expensive .I love them they are so nice perfect place to go and help them get experience at the same time

STUDENT REVIEW (esthetician):horrible experience!!My experience at this school was not what I thought it would be. My freshman teacher I had was amazing and goes out of her way for students I love her but, the senior teacher (Mrs. Christina) is the most unprofessional teacher. For starters she plays favorites and you can tell when she is having a bad day because she takes it out on students. I had an incident with her where she became upset with me because I reported issues to the director about her and she did not handle the situation in a professional matter at all she got up in my face and was harassing me getting way to close. She also yelled at me in front of the directors in the office which they did not step in to help in the moment and there was no disciplinary action. All they did was have that teacher not talk to me. Like are you kidding me. As a school youd think theyd take it a lot more serious since their students do PAY to go here but, they did not and do not care at all. They basically swept it under the rug and forgot about it like they always do. On top of it all that they had the audacity to tell me she was probably trying to hug me without even asking me what happened when they didnt even see the incident!!!!!! and FIVE other students witnessed when she aggressively approached me and got waayyyy too close. I should’ve sued for what happened to me but it was my last week so it wasn’t worth it but I would’ve if that wasn’t my last week. What a way to end my experience here getting harassed just because Mrs.christina didn’t like me.Over all she is very unprofessional and needs to no let her bad days effect working with students.The school also needs to do something about their ceilings because they have dirty stains on them and their towels are old and a lot are ripped same goes for gowns, theyre old. A lot of things need to be fixed and CLEANED and just an fyi when the school had a toilet flood they used the same towels we use on clients to clean it up!! GROSS!! I just don’t understand where all their money goes. My course alone was $10,000 for ONE person and esthetician only imagine about 50-100 students constantly graduating and enrolling. Where’s the money? Cosmetology is $18,000 if I’m correct. Shouldn’t it be spent on new supply’s for students if old ones are coming apart?? Hmmm... I’m not the only student at this school wondering this, teachers have said the same..

This review is based on 2 visits to this academy. I had a balayage, cut and nails done a few years ago and I was SOOO happy with the outcome. 1 year later I attempted another balayage and it came out absolutely opposite from what I requested. It was more highlights than anything else and the color was NOT what I wanted. The teacher left midway thru the treatment, so the consistency of what I was asked wasnt correctly coached on (in my opinion). I dont plan on returning here in the future.

Im a graduate and couldnt have found a better school to attend! The instructors are outstanding Ms.Cyndee is awesome and makes sure youre on point. I had no problem passing State Boards first time around! THANKS CAofB!

They are all very nice

Love the students and staff!

Worst experience ever!!
