Clary Sage College

Don’t go here unless you want your hair to look worse than before you got it cut. The girl I got was having an anxiety attack about cutting an inch off my hair. The students at clary sage are barely trained when they start cutting hair and it totally shows

I’d never been to sage until my friend told me about it, so the day before my wedding we go to do our nails there. The girls, were nice the atmosphere was pleasent but man it took like 3 hours to get my nails done; (the young girl doing my nails was very nervous, and in the end I walked out of there coming home and redoing my nails I’ve never been back since. I don’t know about there other offers on services, I still may give them a try (.massage) but as for nail jobs I’ll definitely stick to doing them myself

I’ve had my hair done here and since they are students it’s not the best quality but they’re students, it happens.
Although, I’ve gotten massages twice and I drooled the entire time. so peaceful and much needed. did I mention it was priced very reasonable? I’ll definitely be back!

I recommend this place every single time someone says they need a place that is good and will cut their hair for a reasonable price. I love these students here and there was only one time that I found my hair cut to be maybe not perfect, but it wasn’t anything that a pair of scissors at home couldn’t quickly even out. Their hair coloring abilities here are awesome because they’re still learning and they’re always super excited to try new things with hair color. Doing my hair, wherever I go, always takes at least 4 hours (I have a lot of hair… it doesn’t look like it… but I have A LOT of hair) and none of the students I have ever gone to have ever gotten bored or frustrated with it.
I’ve always gotten a massage here before and it was SOO NICE.
This is the only place that I will go to get my hair done, one because these students needs willing people to allow them to practice on and I’m not one of those people that gets overly emotional about my hair. Two, your hair process is always being monitored by an instructor as well and so if you start to feel stressed out about something, they will correct it for you.
I absolutely recommend Clary services to you, whatever the service is that you may be using.

I am currently a student here at Clary and have also have had many services performed. I’m in esthetics, and out services are wonderful. Very relaxing and the facials make you feel like a new person.
However, if you are going for hair — be prepared to spend some time. Keep in mind these are students and they don’t have the speed that people do in the professional world. Always voice if you aren’t happy, or want something done different.
You have to be cautious anytime you come to a beauty school — buy Clary is definitely the best!

Let me preface this by saying that this review is only for my most recent experience here. I have used Clary Sage before for a haircut, and it was one of the best haircuts I ever got. That being said, my experience this time wasn’t so great. When I called to make my appointment, I let the person know I wanted to do it around my lunch break time. She told me to come in at 11:00 and it would probably take between 1– 1 ½ hours. It was about 10 after 11 when they came to get me. The person doing my hair was very friendly. I showed her two pictures of what I was wanting and explained to her exactly what I was looking for. Her instructor came over and heard my description as well. It took almost 2 ½ hours for the whole process and the end result was not at all what I wanted. At that point I was just ready to get out of there and I was worried it would end up being worse, so I left even though I was unhappy. My haircut (which was supposed to be longer in the front, shorter in the back with stacked layers, instead is basically a long layer and a short layer all around). It doesn’t look anything like I had hoped it would. And now I’m going to have to go pay someone to do some damage control. I’m not saying you shouldn’t use Clary Sage, but I’m saying if you do, be prepared to strongly voice your opinion. I wish I would have.

Someone gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure here. The student who did my pedicure skimped on or skipped several steps completely. She didn’t massage my feet at all, applied lotion only on my calves (not on my feet!), and spent about two seconds using the callus remover on my heels (did not use on the balls of feet or outside edge of big toes). Then, the polish job was pretty sloppy. She left a good deal of polish on my cuticles. I could have done better myself at home. To top it all off, the pedicure took forever. Even thought she didn’t do much, she was constantly stopping to talk to the other students in the room.
The student also told me she had recently accidentally sprayed alcohol instead of water all over a child’s head before a haircut. I get that mistakes happen, but you probably shouldn’t be telling your clients about them. Not exactly confidence inspiring.
I’ll cut them a bit of slack because they are just students and not professionals… yet. (This is why I avoid beauty schools in general.) At least it was free, I guess. But I’ll certainly be going right back to my usual place next time!

I came recently with a friend for the spa pedicure. The pedicure was okay; I feel like I’ve gotten a more thorough cuticle cleaning at other places. I think the pedicure prices have gone up since I’ve last been. Now it’s $ 29.95, which I thought was ridiculous since you can go to a «professional» for those same prices. However, at this place, they let you KEEP the nail polish you choose. and it’s OPI brand!
At the last minute, we decided to add manicures, which they were really nice to accommodate for. The manicure was $ 14.95 and you got to keep the nail polish (or it was $ 5 off the total price if you did the manicure and pedicure and used the same nail polish). Gel manicures here were also $ 14.95, but you don’t get to keep the nail polish.
The students were really nice and professional. You could tell they were trying. In case you were worried about the quality of your student’s work, the teacher has to sign off on the work of the students when they’re done.

I love this place and come here every month for a beauty day. The people are so nice and they do great work. The prices are very good. I recommend the 60 minute massage… it’s heaven!

Finding someone to cut your hair is always a struggle when you move to a new city. Even more so if you’re as indecisive as I am. It took me long enough for my hair to be meet Locks of Love length requirements (I always grow it out and cut it to donate it).
I was at the point where I just wanted to get it over with when I came across a Groupon for Clary Sage College. My sister-​in-​law went to cosmetology school so I understand the whole student under supervision situation at beauty schools. They gotta learn somehow, right?
The Groupon deal offered a ridiculously low price. I bought two; one for my mom as well. The College has really nice and clean facilities. The building looks brand new. They have a waiting area as soon as you walk in, in front of the information desk. We checked in and decided to look at the products and things they sell at the store. They also have a café!
We didn’t have to wait a long time, only a couple of minutes. They thoughtfully sat my mom and I together. This was extremely helpful as she struggles with English so I could easily aid translating what she wanted.
My cosmetology student was Jennifer Turrell. She was SO nice, immediately engaging in friendly conversation. I appreciated her talking me through what she was doing. A wash was included in the deal and it was so relaxing.
I brought a Ziploc bag with me to put the donating hair in and Jennifer swiftly measured and cut it. I think she was nervous at first but she got the hang of it. She moved on to the haircut them. I brought a picture of what I wanted: layers and bangs. She approved and went on with it. She didn’t require much supervision in my eyes but her instructor still made the rounds checking in on her.
I don’t remember the name of the girl that cut my mom’s hair but she did a great job too. She had an incredible challenge since my mom’s hair is ridiculously thick. They style your hair at the end. I was completely satisfied with the service and will definitely return. I asked Jennifer for her card; she might have already graduated by now but I shall find her!
Also, they offer an array of beauty services including massages, nails, waxing… check out the pic for a list and prices.

The massage was great, but the facial … wow. It was my first and I might be hooked.

Outstanding and very reasonably priced massages ($ 50 for 90 minutes) by licensed therapists. Esthetician services are performed by students and I have had very good experiences. I have difficult hair to work with, so I was less than impressed by the girl that cut my hair. Student services are all overseen by instructors. But the massages are 5 Star Value!
