This school rocks!!!! I was so desperate to start a new career in something and did not know what I wanted and could not afford a lot. The school admission helped navigate me through financial assistance and took me on a tour of the school. Everyone was so nice. The school is laid back but very professional. I eventually enrolled and never regretted going here.
They even guided me through prepping for the State Boards and finding a job when I passed. I know that no matter what I need I can count on Linda and her team to help me. Thank you guys so much for your help in my new career.
Got a super sloppy gel polish manicure. The polish is all over my skin and cuticles. The instructor kept telling the student what a wonderful job she was doing, so I didn't feel comfortable pointing out the mistakes. My eight year old niece has painted my nails better than this..literally. Also, the place is super disorganized and not even remotely relaxing.
nails done by ana (she's not very personable) that's going to be important when dealing with customers. I know they are students and learning but 2.5 hrs for acrylic nails and they look horrible lmao $16 (i could care less about the money) but all that time wasted. i wish i would have went to a professional.
I had a lady named Susie do my full set for me and she was very nice and sweet. It was her first time doing a full set and i could honestly say she did it soooo good!! Mrs Gladys has definitely been a great instructor for her. Mrs Gladys was also there watching over Susie and even giving tips on how to make my full set come out even better. This was my first time getting a full set too and it was a great first time experience. They were very friendly and we had a great conversation while getting my
nails done. Thank you ladies!!
I had the pleasure of going to Parisian Spa Institute in two different occasions. The first time, I had a fabulous esthetician, Makisha. I have gone to different spas over the U.S. and she is top notch. Better then some estheticians at high-end spas! I went to Luz for my nails and she is very detailed oriented. And one the teachers, Gladys, went above and beyond and assisted the nail technician to put a beautiful design on my nails. These students are great assets to any business they join, after they complete school!
Finally I graduated and I learned a lot from MS Gladys and she is so professional and she knows what she is doing !!
I already got a job and I am so grateful for everything for what I have learned from my instructors 💖💖💕
Updated Review With Screenshots!!! If you are honest you are a "bully" or "not nice". Reviews are meant to give an HONEST review and though she has continuously threatened me I will not be told I cannot be complete HONEST. Let me just say this woman is a liar. I have actually done a tour, spoke with her staff and of course ran like hell when u asked the students that were there if their experience!!! She is upset because many of her students complain of forced reviews, not learning anything and being forced to work at her "spa" for credit which is illegal, you MUST be licensed to receive compensation in Florida, and part of the reason I left her spa. The other part was not me but the individual she had working there that was treating people like they were her slave many others quit after I left.. I moved on from that but two of my cousins and three of my friends regret everyday they went to this SCHOOL. Only ONE was able to survive in her chosen field after graduating from this school. Additionally, if you look at any of the negative reviews she is extremely defensive, the reason? She doesn't like to be called out. She tried to tell me I couldn't say I wouldn't pay a dime for her "microblading course" if it's anything like the young ladies I've met that can't polish a nail after graduating from here. When our school (Regency) closed this school was suppose to be an option for teach out. People like me would rather go to a school where you LEARN AND LOSE ALL HOURS then get a half ass education at this school and keep the hours. I haven't had time to respond in months because I have a life, I'm a licensed nail tech, certified make up artist and I've almost completed cosmetology at Paul Mitchell * A REPUTABLE SCHOOL* due to Irma, I have time today, save your time and worry and go to a real school by the way I joined Paul Mitchell as a recommendation of one her own instructors! 🤔At least someone is honest!
My best friend and I were going to join this Institute in October 2017. However, I am not only appalled but I am disgusted with the comments. Not so much of the negative feedback but the responses from the owner. You are so defensive and you do not take criticism well. You praise the positive feedback but are so hostile in a nice nasty way towards the negativity. Everyone will not like your institute and thats okay because you will not please everyone. But the way you've handle the feedback was very immature and unprofessional. You just lost two potential students based on your responses. We will definitely be looking elsewhere.
Sincerely,
Unimpressed and Disgusted
I was a Parisian Spa Institute nail tech student and finish my nail tech program with several jobs offer before I was finish school. It was a great opportunity for me to learn and do what I enjoy to do with all the nail art design and knowledge I got from my Nail program instructor: Ms. Gladys, who is very knowledge & professional about acrylic along with all the answer when I came to her with too many questions.
Thank to Ms. Jamie who always make sure everybody keep the school clean and professional looking.
Thank to Ms. Donna who is very friendly and fun for us to enjoy to came to school.
Thank to Ms. Linda who has fantastic memory (she still remember me a year after I went check out the school on the first time and came back a year after that to enroll) Ms. Linda always try her best to help the student with all the support she could and make school time fun as she could.
It was a great time when I was at school and I was enjoy everyday to came in as I still miss those time. Hopefully I will be back soon in the future for another program.
Thanks again for everybody who as very respect and fun when we were in school together.
Here are some pictures of my nail art when I was learning at Parisian Spa Institute.
I was going to enroll in this school today. I didn't like a couple of things about my tour very different than other schools, almost like the guide didn't know what to say. She will just show you where the teachers are at that time and ask you at the end if you have any questions. I was more interested in the school because it is very close to me and has small classes. I just had one question I have a lot of friends that went to different schools and they were trying to give an answer but every school is different I wanted to double check. I had signed for a follow up call in five days from the tour. Never received a call so I called today because Mondays are closed. I am divorced my ex can not come into this country so for my son to see his father its more expensive I have to accompany him because he is 7 years old. He doesn't see his dad often last time will be four years ago this summer by the time I plan to let him visit only for a couple days but due to the drive I would miss a week. Thats not considered a family emergency so it will not be excused was the response I received. "That's like babysitting" is what she compared it to. I take it to heart maybe because of my situation but I consider their bond an emergency I just can't afford for them to see each other every year. Deportation for driving without a license is not like babysitting. Its more like losing your family missing everything without dying.
I was leery about having beauty services done at a school, but all that was put to ease at my arrival. The students and instructors were all friendly and professional. I had a haircut and facial done with no wait time and felt extremely pampered. Thanks Oksana. Even the owner, Mrs Fontenot, came by to check on me and get feedback. I was so pleased , I went back last week for a spa pedicure. Thanks Ms Ramirez. Keep up the great work ! See y'all again soon. Yvette Lattimore
We came the Friday before Christmas Eve, with an 11:30 appointment for two mani-pedis and a full set of acrylics with one. One mani-pedi didn't start until 2:00, and the other started at 12:30 but they "did not have time or availability to do a full set" although I was told that they work quickly. The only reason that this review was even three stars was because we were given a free massage (not the greatest) and the student that worked with me, Patrice, was excellent, attentive, and friendly, where as the instructor that worked with my grandmother kept walking off to do other things.
In reply to the owner; yes, I would have much rather have you not taken my appointment, told me you were over booked. I see you hate Groupon, from your reviews to other purchasers of it, so why sell to Groupon? We only buy groupons to try out but the service we recieved wasn't even worth the small price we paid. So thank you for showing your true colors, as a "refined institute" as you told me during my visit. It's safe to say we won't be returning, oh, and reporting you to Groupon for the way you treat your customers. Thanks for wasting FOUR HOURS of my birthday
I truly enjoyed my experience at this school. I was in the evening classes, and it was truly like a family. There was only about 4-5 students in the evening, which meant loads of one on one learning with our instructor. I was in the skin program, and my teacher, Ms. Hill is such an inspiration - she is so knowledgeable and uplifting to all of her students. I learned so much from her in my time at the school and am so thankful for her support and words of inspiration.
I also love how the owner of the school, Ms. Linda, continuously tries to improve the atmosphere, the services and advanced classes offered. She is very dedicated to her students to make sure they are offered all of the very best.
Ms. Isabelle was also absolutely wonderful! She was there from day one until I graduated, cheering me on and being supportive.
I highly recommend this school - the evening classes are wonderful and you'll get so much one on one training and education. You won't regret it!
