This salon is great. it’s small compare to national city but the customer service is great. oh men. I like the student I had (Taylor) I think that her name… first appointment, I had a perm. second appointment, I had my hair dye… this student I had. It seems that she knows what she’s doing n act like a pro. seriously. hahahha. oh men. when I was getting my hair done. I feel so great n relax… very relax.

This is to my Esthetician instructors.
You are greatly valuable to this school, not only do you have exceptional teamwork but you have incredible professionalism. Mrs. Lynda, you have a way of making learning fun, especially teaching adults and let alone women. Mrs. Denise’s, you are so passionate that when you speak it is infectious! I hope you two know teaching is what you need to be doing, this is a skill not many have. I appreciate all you do and thank you in advance!

I am a student currently attending school since early February. I have to say that all of the Unilocal reviews were pretty spot on. From the admissions process to my second month in Discovery I have a great deal of confidence in my school and my peers. The instructors are passionate not only about the Cosmo industry but also about teaching. Through the tears and celebrations the instructors and staff make sure that everyone has a fighting chance no matter how hard they have to work to get you there.

I was an esthetics student here and I RECCOMENED the program and school. My instructors were amazing and really put their heart and sole 100% into esthetics and it made for a wonderful experience. Thank you ms. Denice and ms. Linda! Bellus is so lucky to have them!

I’m a student at Bellus Academy. I was asked to be a model for one of the estheticians for a facial. Although she just started and isn’t able to take clients I highly recommend Alicia once she us. Of all the massages and facials I’ve ever received this one surpassed the rest by far. Alicia is so amazing that I fell asleep. Thanks for my massage and facial.

Welp, I’m a student here. But I just wanted to give a shout out to my beautiful friend Bijian! I came in as a client the other day because I wanted to change my hair to make it less annoying, so I gave her the task of making me blonde again and she did it and I still have hair! She made it look lighter, one even color, and it wasn’t a gross tone. It’s still not done, but it looks awesome and it is close to my natural blonde! She does good work! Awesome job, lady! :D

i had a choice between marinello in el cajon and bellus academy.
after very carefully inspecting each school and asking what seemed like 100s of questions to their recruiters, i chose B.A.
why?
1) when i went on a tour of MARINELLO, i felt rushed and irritated. the setting was very loud (obnoxious music blaring over the speakers) — the students were eating at their stations — there were food wrappers everywhere, too. the recruiter gave me a long, fluffed-​up speech about their extremely high course completion percentages. i actually did some research and found that on average more students complete their courses at BELLUS. some of them were even transfers FROM marinello!
2) when i went to BELLUS, i felt that all of my questions were addressed and that the atmosphere was very calm.
3) when i compiled follow-​up emails to the two schools, bellus replied right away. after a week, i had to CALL marinello to ask if they were planning on responding to my email.
**marinello may seem flashier and more «with it» but when it comes down to brass tacks, ACTIONS speak louder than words. keep that in mind. please don’t base your choice on appearance alone.**
at bellus, i had a particularly knowledgeable instructor for the esthetics program — she took the time to teach us ADVANCED esthetics along with our regular curriculum. i graduated top of my class with my received 98% and 100% on my practice stateboard exams.
i have been a licensed and working esthetician for over a year now and i truly believe that i couldn’t have chosen a better school to guide me on my way to my career goal. the career counselors will help you out in any way that you need them to. after i graduated and became licensed, courtney donadio took me under her wing and patiently helped me find my job.
**aside from their knowledgeable faculty and advanced curriculum, bellus academy offers a sense of family. when i was diagnosed with STAGE 3-​C cancer, courtney donadio and all THREE of their schools banded together and organized a very large, successful fundraiser for my medical expenses.**
even now, they are still my personal cheerleaders .
and my heart will always be with bellus academy.
