Cosmo Beauty Academy

Hello I am a recent graduate from Cosmo Beauty academy and I absolutely loved it. The school goes above and beyond to individually make sure every student get the education they need. Not only do we get state board classes but we got extended education in all areas hair, nails, facials, and ethnic hair. very clean and you have to follow all state laws. I worked hard when I was there and not only passed state board with a breeze but was also salon ready with 2 job offers as soon as I graduate. Ms. Joe is the best teacher in the world. Thank you ms. joe it’s thanks to all your hard work that I was salon ready. I recommend anyone looking to go to cosmo school to attend cosmo beauty academy!

I did my research before coming to this beauty school. I loved the family feel of it, and the price was very good. I enrolled as a full time student in July and never looked back.
The owner, Ms. Jo, genuinely cares for each one of her students. I call her a superhero because she sees all, and knows each of her student’s weakness’ and helps them to improve in any way possible. She is always available to talk if you ever need extra help, or have any concerns. Even on the busiest days, she somehow gives each of her students guidance with each client. You never feel helpless here, you’re always taken care of. When you graduate, you will always be well prepared to take the state board. Since I’ve been here, everyone to graduate has gone on to get their license.
Ms. Jo only hires the best instructors as well. I thought I knew a lot coming here, but I was wrong. I’ve learned so much that I can take into my future career. Ms. Sol, Ms. Paula, try so hard to help us succeed and go above and beyond. This school is what you take from it. They give you all the tools to succeed, you just have to choose to take it.
The director’s husband, Mr. Gordon, helps wherever he can. What school offers help with parking, going to your car to grab your book if you forget it in theory, and offers filtered water and hot coffee for all of their students everyday? Only Cosmo beauty academy. Everything is always well stocked and clean. I have 0 complaints about this school, and if I did, I feel confident that I can bring my concerns to any one of my instructors and it will be fixed.
I am SO happy I decided to come here, and I look forward to taking everything I’ve learned into my future career.

Careful for this place my honest opinion and witnessed. I’m a recent grad and I’ve waited to write this review cause I was scared I’d get kicked out. First off they water a lot of stuff down at this place, everyone was getting sick here cause even the pennies puncher owners here are watering even the soap down. So no proper hand washing is being done here between all the students and clients. Which is part of proper sanitation in a business. Shampoo is watered down as well as gel products. The shampoo is not the shampoo you think your using either at its watered down when the old shampoo containers are being refilled by the owners husband Mr. Gordon with some bulk Costco brand Kirkland I think Shampoo and conditioner. So as a client your not getting what you think your getting on the label. Which I don’t know Is legally ok. If you can even read the old bottle shampoo label!
As a student if your thinking about coming here, state board class is ok, you will learn the minimum to pass. But in the mean time you’ll put up with a lot here. With Mrs. Jo the owner slash educator. Aka the Warden she is called. Sorry to say, but depending on how she feels from moment to moment day to day. One thing will be ok, and then the next day not. Its sad I feel that depending on how you are view or see here, that’s how your treated. Sometime the Spanish class is allowed to do things the English class is not. Vice versa. Mrs. jO does treat certain students differently I’ve seen her snatch things very angry out of a Spanish student hand and got very frustrated with them cause of the lack of communication between her and the student understanding her. Almost seems depending on how the owner feels that’s what you get and there’s not a think you can do cause she is the owner. And she is always on the floor. She good at state board and she’s CAN be nice but she can be very rude and completely unprofessional to students and customers.
Main concern here though is the lack of cleanliness, as students we aren’t enforced to sanitize area or after each client. They do have a older couple that comes to clean but they mainly just take out trash not much wiping down and sanitation is done here. If the owner waters soap down that should tell you what important to them. Which I feel is a big safety issue and risk to clients and students cause just recently everyone was getting sick germs were spreading cause proper sanitation is not being done. Hand soap is diluted to where it doesn’t even suds up in your hands so germs aren’t being killed properly. Very bad as I don’t think its legal by the cosmetology board to operate a school business salon like this by cutting corners is sanitation.

I started school at Cosmo Beauty Academy September 1^st and graduated January 14^th in those 4 ½ months Ms Donna taught me so much and I learned everything I needed to get my Manicurist License. I am now a licensed manicurist as of February 9^th!!! Its a great school and the teachers and staff are wonderful people!

Figuring I’d try to save a little money I came here for a gel manicure. Since the services are provided by students I expected my manicure to take twice as long which wasn’t a problem. The school itself was very clean with friendly and readily available staff to assist the students. The student providing my services started me right away and was very professional. I greatly underestimated the timing as it took triple the amount as any other place I’ve gone to. The student did a nice job, but when I mentioned my polish looking a bit thin she explained they’re only allowed to do one coat, not two, which I thought was odd. The instructor confirmed this, so I just paid and left. Instead of the usual 2 weeks the gel lasted 1 week the lack of a second coat just bugged me. For $ 20 it wasn’t terrible and it was nice to help someone who is still learning, but this won’t be a regular nail place for me.

I love places where you get great value for what you pay and this is definitely one of them.
Gordon and Ms Jo have been running the school for the past 7 years and they are very attentive to their students and clients. I had initially called for a haircut appointment on a weekday but probably didn’t need to as there are more than enough students and instructors to go around! The student who was giving me my hair cut initially shared some of my nervous energy but she was friendly, eager to learn, and very careful to confirm what I wanted in my hairstyle. It was neat for me to hear the instruction from one of the teachers who was watching over closely providing support while also demonstrating appropriate cutting techniques without being disrespectful towards her work. At the end Ms Jo herself came by to evaluate and do some additional teaching! I felt that every strand of my hair had been thoroughly inspected to make sure they fell in their right places.
The overall vibe from Cosmo is one of individualized care, professionalism, and cleanliness. I was very, very impressed. As a student myself, I applaud the instructors for providing such excellent, patient teaching.

It took me ~25 minutes to drive there for a haircut and it was absolutely worth it, even though the cut only cost 5 bucks! The original price is $ 7, I got some discount for the Labor Day which I found out when I was about to pay. I totally agree with other positive reviews. The owners and students are very friendly, welcoming and professional. My hair was initially cut by the student and then finished by the director, also the owner, who had over 20 years experience in the field. They always communicated with me to confirm what I would like about my haircut: the length, layers, bang, etc. The director also gave her professional advice on how I should manage my hair at home to make the best out of it. They didn’t hard sell their hair care products like some of the other salons, which made me comfortable talking to them. I will definitely revisit them for other hair services in the future. Would highly recommend!
PS: I lost my credit card in their store, they contacted me immediately. They not only have great services but are reliable.

This was our first time at Cosmo beauty school and we were pleasantly suprised. It was clean organize and the instructors were great! My daughter had an appointment to get her hair dyed blue and we knew it would take all day because of her hair length and thickness. She had a student named Debbie who really enjoyed doing fun hair colors. The time flew bye. Even though the school closed at 5:30 we were not rushed out with wet hair. My daughter also got an Amazing haircut. She was blow-​dried and curled. And after 9 hours it looked Amazing! I also got a great haircut and blow dry for $ 5.00! It was the August Special.

I have had cuts, color, mani’s and pedi’s at Cosmo and have been satisfied after every visit. The only con is that their hours do not fit my schedule, otherwise I would use them exclusively.

My daughter and I came in today– she for a full color with a peek a boo and me for a cut & style. We had a great experience and recommend Cosmo Beauty Academy to anyone! Her color came out amazingly well and I love my new style! The floor is overseen by the wonderful Teacher and proprietor Ms. Jo. She teaches and makes sure her students understand before they take over and then she watches closely, but let’s them try too! Overall the best Academy we have been to! Clean, well run and inexpensive too! TRY THEM! You won’t be sorry!

I love this school couldn’t of chosen a better one Ms. Donna best nail teacher. If ur tryn to go to a nail course this would be a great choice!

Wow, what can I say! I am beyond happy with my hair. I recently got my hair done, and instead of highlighting my hair like it was needed, the hair stylist just put high lift on my roots… which in return, made my roots orange and it looked like I had a line going around my head where my roots met the bleach. I looked up on Unilocal,and was willing to give this place a go. I was nervous since my last experience getting my hair done was awful. Yesenia made me feel right at ease. She fixed my blonde, and made it a beautiful, even color, and fixed my hair cut as well. I’m so pleased, and the price was cheap! I will definitely go back here next time.

Last minute thinking. I found this place and was there in an hour. Took a friend of mine their to get a dye and highlight while I goy a fail and makeup done. This was the first time that I’ve been to this place and I was really please with all that they did.
Amy did my facial and she did a EXCELLENT job. I loved what she did and how she was able to answer all questions that I asked. I like when they know answers to questions. That makes me feel comfortable and confident that I am getting what I expect.
Raven did my make up and I LOVE IT! I used a mascara that I’ve never seen before and I WANT ONE! Its not in a tube it looks like eye shadow but its not. I forget what it was called but I want it.
After I was done with me. I went to check on my friend that was getting the dye and highlight done. At first I was a little concern because I wasn’t sure if the girl were confident that were doing the highlights right. Once highlights were applied and they finally finished I have to say that the finish product was AMAZING. I love it and it was what I was expecting for it to turn out. The girls did a great job and Joann came in and did the hair cut. Looked Fabulous. They even add in curls. Love this place would go back.

I was able to support a small, local business, help students practice, and get the best haircut I have ever had for $ 5.60. Being that this is a classroom, you get the attention you normally would not get at a normal salon. I am excited to come back and try more services.

Hello, this is my third review for this place. I went there yesterday to get a facial. I’ve gotten facials before but this time I wanted something different. The guy at the front desk is always a little disorganized. I’ve come to accept that. Nonetheless, shortly after I was greeted by Raven, the student who was going to perform my facial. She sat with me and talked about what I was wanting to achieve with my skin and what options were available. she is absolutely the most professional person I have encountered there and I love it! She was knowledgeable in aesthetics, and treated me like a place of business should.
My facial went great. I chose to do a microdermabrasion treatment. I actually purchased a 6 series. After my facial, the teacher came in and asked how everything went. She also answered additional questions I had. I use image skincare products and I always purchase them from here.
Overall, I recommend this academy for all your beauty needs. I have gotten a full leg wax, arm wax, haircut, manicure, and facials here. I have not had a bad experience. And best of all, you cannot beat the price!!!

I have to say this is one of the best schools around. One of the only schools I’ve seen where the manicuring students are actually taught 3D nail art and they have all the crazy hair colors too!!! I went from boring brown to black and bright purple and my hair was still in healthy status! (and I’ve had my share of schools… lol). I would recommend this to anyone, either future student or future client!

This place is great! The owners Gordon and Joanne are here on premises everyday, instructing, guiding, and taking an active role in the school. The students have always given me, my girlfriend, and my son a good haircut at a very good price.

I absolutely love this place, they squeezed me in for partial highlights and they came out gorgeous. I always get compliments even with an inch of new growth. It takes extra time but well worth it! Just bring a book or magazine to occupy your time, they are priced very cheap and the quality is the same as an overpriced salon!

Although I was scared to let a student touch my hair, the experience was amazing and I would definitely go back time and time again.

I had the best haircut I’ve had in a long time. Unexpected in a beauty school. The student was friendly and helpful but the instructor was unbelievably impressive. She treated the student with respect and used positive reinforcement as well as intricate instructions on how to complete the haircut as I had requested. I will certainly continue to go there for my haircuts in the future. I was not so impressed with the manicure but the haircut blew me away so much that it still deserves 5 stars.
