Powder Springs Beauty College Salon

So Happy that I find out about this place. I have always had a happy experience with the service and students I highly recommended this school for all of there service. I highly recommend doing a foot detox. You will be very surprised what you see that will come out of you.

I usually go to my cousin, who is a professional, licensed beautician for my perms and color. I reluctantly went to PSBC for this service on yesterday only because my cousin had the flu, and she had recently been in a car accident. I had to get my hair done from somewhere, so I decided to give PSBC another try for this service.
The only thing that was a little disappointing about this visit was the wait. I had to wait an hour and a half before I was called for my service. I didn’t have to wait during my last visit.
It was a good thing that I had something to read to keep me entertained because I was not interested in watching a marathon of «Criminal Minds».
A student named Stephanie did my hair, and she did a great job! My scalp wasn’t burned by the chemicals as it had been in the past. Of course, she is a student, who is still learning so she got help from the instructor, Mr. Douglas, and from the assistant instructor, Bianca.
Now, about the head instructor, Mr. Douglas or Mr. D as he is affectionately called. I’ve read the other reviews about him. Here is my opinion, Mr. D is a no nonsense instructor. He seems to really care about the students, and the clients/​customers that come in, and he does what he thinks is best for everyone. He is eccentric, and his hair is different every time I go. He lets the students experiment on his hair, so on one visit his hair may be braided, on the next visit, his hair may be colored and permed. All in all, Mr. D is A-​OK!

Hit or miss, usually a miss :-(
I really want to like this hair school because my first experiences were great. I have natural (no chemicals added) hair and Blessing (a former student) was a pro braider. She has since graduated and over the last year I’ve been about 4 times (including today).
Each experience goes generally like this:
— I call before I go to confirm someone can braid my hair
— I get to PSBC and typically no one is at the front desk — so I put my name on the list and wait — no hello, no welcome, nothing, just waiting for about 15 — 30 minutes.
— Eventually the head teacher comes in for the roll call and typically had bad news. Today I was informed that all students were busy and it would be another 30 minutes. It would have been nice to know that when I walked in, it would have allowed me to decide if I should just come back the next day.
— I vow not to come back, but it usually do… why?
Pros
— IF they have a braider at school that day, they are typically good
— Very reasonable prices
— free wi-​fi — so at least I don’t feel like my long wait was a total waste
— good music — usually some sort of smooth jazz
— nice students
I’m not sure how to make my experience better here. If you decide to give it a try, pack your PATIENCE and BYOE (bring your own entertainment)

Went there to get my nails done cause on the website it says they do gel nails. Do not waste your time they did not do gel no more I think they need to update their website obviously it is out of date. I ask if they could take off my gel and then put on acrylic but they would not touch them so I left. I was very upset to say the least!

I stopped by the school yesterday. when I was young I would get my hair cut at a beauty school on Smyrna and it was wonderful. All I needed was a trim and had a picture of the hairstyle I had before. Ok, so I walked in and my first thought was… this place looks pretty dumpy. The man at the front desk was nice and I told him I was nervous about someone else cutting my hair.(my hairdresser has a broken ankle) I showed him the style and he said that they could make it look the way on the picture. Now, he did say that I might want to go to another place but he really felt they could do this. He also said that he would get his best student to cut it for me. The girl came up and he told her what to do… she looked at me and started walking away. she turned and looked at me and I had to ask her was I to follow her. I had my purse and sweater ans was looking around for a place to put it and her again she just looked at me… I said «oh well, I guess I will just hold it». She put the cape on me and I showed her the picture several times and asked her while she was cutting id she needed to see it again. she said no, she would let me know if she needed to see it again. The instructor came over maybe 3 times and did not come back. She did not cut my hair facing her mirror and I was getting little leery about that. It tool her awhile and she would hand me a mirror and ask was that OK? I was the only Caucasian in the place in which is not a problem but I really do not think they know how to cut my type hair. Long story short… when she was done she gave me a mirror and asked if it was OK. OMG!!! People she chopped it up so bad that I was devastated! What was I to say to her… are you going to glue it back on? When she took my cape off… I had hair all over my shoulders! REALLY! How can you do that because capes cover the shoulders. She did not say a word… I gave her a tip I DID NOT WANT TOO but… and walked out. I had to get all of the hair off of me she did not even try to wipe it off. I have cried and cried about my hair… I cannot do anything with it and I will tell anyone… DO NOT USE THIS SALON! I posted my experience on Facebook and you would not believe the people who have been there for different services that where very disappointed with them.

There is something truly wrong with the owner or manager of this establishment.
I just saw his update — where he accuses me of lying about an instructor being there and says he spoke to me twice.
There were absolutely no men there the day I visited — and I am no longer ‘rooting’ for their success because this man is liar which means he’s probably unscrupulous as well. A young African-​American woman was at the desk (she performed services too) and a different young African American woman performed my service. There was a young Caucasian woman and a Hispanic or Latino looking woman performing other services. That was it.
What earthly reason would I or any other person (if you have time — check out the filtered reviews) posting reviews have to lie on this man? Talk about delusional and defensive.
If he responds again — which I’m sure he will — I’m going to try my absolute best to take the high road and ignore him.
Like my granny once said — the world is filled with cherries and nuts.
