samantha rivera: My experience here as a student was just okay, leaving Aveda I truly still feel like i know nothing and that the curriculum isnt that helpful, I was in the esthetician program and learning the ingredients in skin care products was very helpful. Everything is just around the aveda products itself and I do understand that I did sign up to a school with their own skin care brand, but now leaving the school I dont even know what to buy to start my own facial business. I wish they taught us more than just the"aveda way." as I just graduated two weeks ago I still feel unprepared and useless in the beauty industry. While being taught The theory portion it was all through a zoom call with other institute around Florida and I feel like I was learning nothing because learning from another teacher on Zoom is not easy as they are just going at their own pace and only really stopping for their own class. I had a hard time being able to listen to the Zoom call as most of the time the other teachers at the other institute would just talk extremely fast and it felt like they were just throwing out information more than actually teaching. At aveda, I felt like an unpaid brand ambassador and they seem to care more about how many products you sell and doing your quotas than your education in itself. You can get your moneys worth somewhere else. The student financial aid was always a disaster, and could never get anything right, they ignored my moms emails constantly and when I went to go talk to him about my moms emails he said and i quote "i saw it, i just didnt want to reply" and the person behind all of our hours and licensing was never any help and failed to answer emails and that was a complaint by many students. I had higher expectations going into aveda because I know it is a well-known very popular brand but I just feel like I left the school know nothing. I was extremely excited to start this chapter when I first started off at aveda, but the more time I was there, the more drained I was and kept questioning myself about why i chose this career path for myself. Definitely do your research before going to the "name brand school,"
Rozalyn Pyser: This lady profiled me and thought I was some rich kid because I told her I just bought a my first home with my family. She up charged the hell out of me for a 5 minute hair cut. I should have told her that I was homeless for 7 years and just got out of a women’s homeless shelter and been saving for this hair cut for months. That’s the truth. She cut my hair in less than 5 minutes and then was trying to sell me for 30 minutes on products I can’t afford. I wish I walked out of there when she insulted my hair and talked over me the first time. Oh yeah she also talked over me EVERYTIME I TRIED SPEAKING. It was an awful experience. I could have cut my own hair how I wanted and saved $70 and a lot of tears but I wanted to treat myself. Ive been crying for 2 days over this awful haircut and awful experience.
Michelle Carmona: 10/10+10. Issara always makes me feel so confident when I leave. She listens to what I’m looking for and delivers. I’m very particular, but with her I literally say it once and never again. After my first 2 appointments I can take my beloved lash nap and know I’ll wake up with the perfect set. When it’s time for brows she slays them every time. I couldn’t recommend her and Blyss Beauty enough! Additionally, the music, the ambiance and overall experience when you go in is like the perfect girls day. If you haven’t been, you’re cheating yourself. I’ve been going for almost a year and it’s the best decision I’ve made.
Fredericka Starr: This was the best facial I’ve had in a long time! Jess is so sweet, professional & knows her stuff about skin. The atmosphere was so relaxing, 10/10 across the board….my next appointment is already booked!!
