Marinello Schools of Beauty Salon

Recently I wanted to try something new with my hair and I was trying to avoid paying an excess of $ 100+ for just a shampoo, condition and flat iron. While Brainstorming I thought of trying a beauty school. I searched local schools in the area and came up with Marinello. I made my appt. with ease. I was scheduled or paired up with Dejiona. She was very nice and personable. While I was skeptical of anyone new I have to say that the service provided by Dejiona and the staff at Marinello not only matched my expectations but managed to exceed them. That is a hard thing to do because I very particular to say the least.
Dejiona washed, conditioned me and then did a blow dry with flat iron. First to set the tone her instructor came over and put me at ease with her knowledge and guidance. I trusted my student/​stylist because I know she was well trained. I had an idea of how it would come out and my hair looked like Olivia from Scandal in a good way! Her styling was on level expected from a stylist who has been in the business for many years. So «Good Job». I will definitely recommend and return to Marinello.

Well, If this review was for the student stylist it would have been 5 stars. The woman that did my mother’s hair was soo amazing, but this review is targeting the supervisors/​trainers. They were soo rude and not at all warm and inviting. As a mother of a newborn and newlywed efficiency & promptness is so important. They double booked my mother with another naturalista and a two hour hair do took 4 hours. So I left and got my nails done and returned and both ladies had incomplete styles. after we’ve been there for soo long, the rude little trainer with locs told me I couldn’t keep my mother company. It wasn’t the problem with the rules it was more so her tone. She talked to me as if I was not a customer, but was holding her up. She paraded around being rude to others so I didn’t take it personally.

I took the time and read some of the reviews (good and bad). I have to say every single time I have come to the Marinellos Hayward campus has been a great experience. For example, last week I had an appointment at Marinellos but decided to cancel at last minute big mistake because I decided to go to a «Beauty Salon» close to the school and was so disappointed with there service. I paid $ 81 for my service elsewhere. Thanks to Charmaine at Marinellos for fixing all the damages caused by this other place. I always thought if you pay more you get better service, WRONG this time, I paid a lot less and the service was wonderful. I guess some shops need the same supervision that theses students get. Too bad that every time I go the persons helping me are seniors almost graduating. Today I spent the best $ 25 ever. I am going to stick with Marinellos Hayward campus to get my hair done.

Good price for fair treatment. 26 $ for a color, my hair goes to bottom of shoulder blades so they charged me 36 for another tube. Alexandra went the extra mile for my blowdry, which I loved, and I appreciated the advice and fun convo! Shawn did my retouch for 21 (5 $ diff) and was great too.
Hayward location is spacious, loud, but there’s usually students available even without an appointment. Overall, for the price, great service, acceptable product.

Won’t be back! Got a pedicure from Kali, she didn’t know what she was doing! Keep running off, couldn’t paint my nails without painting my cuticles and not cleaning it off. I was there for 3hrs for one pedicure!

Tannell did my hair and brought it back to life! She also provided me tips on how to care for it myself.
Then I brought my two daughters in and she did an awesome job with them. Additionally she had so much patience while doing their hair.
We love her, and will be back!

You get what you get for the price. I love getting my nails done, but the last time I went I spent over $ 100 at my regular spot. I just can’t afford that so I decided to give this a try. I got a fill, and it wasn’t horrible but wasn’t great. They couldn’t take off the gel polish I had, because the students can’t use drills. So it took almost 2 hours. If the students had the proper equipment the time would be cut in half. My fill cost $ 7.00 which is a steal. There was no pampering or warm towels, lots of talk and gossip from the students. But like I said you can’t beat the price. If your low on cash but are in need of a nail care this is your spot.

Tannell did a great job on my gel manicure! I will be back! She also does a bomb wash, blow dry, flat iron, and cut! Go visit her tues-​fri evenings!

TANNELL IS AWESOME! She is extremely professional, very friendly and does an awesome job. I went in for a wash, cut and style. She made sure I was happy with every step of the process and I love my haircut! I will be going back to her again for sure!

First time was 2 weeks ago and it was amazing! I have really long hair and was looking for a cut and color. They gave me to Angelica. Sweetest girl ever! did a really good job with the color I wanted and with the cut. Definitely recommend her for sure!

Hi there,
This is my PLACE to get my hair done! I really like some of the students there, especially the student Keisha, she’s wonderful! She is good with all types of hair, especially African American hair, and she is very nice and sincere. It is also great, because I cannot find any other hair place in Hayward for African American hair, so it is a relief to set a regular appointment with her. There are also a lot of other students capable of doing African American hair, which is nice. Lastly, the pricing here is a bargain, you can get the WORKS for a good price!
There are a few downsides though. The front customer service is a little bit inadequate, the teachers seem a little bit unapproachable, and you my need to take out a good portion out of your day to «get things done.» BUT, I do enjoy the convenience of it being located in downtown Hayward, that they are always available to take appointments, and that they are open all day long – literally. Lastly, it is always great when you can find a student you really like and can follow once they graduate and get a salon job close by.
Thanks,

Kristie is awesome she cut all my dead ends & trimmed my bangs. Curled my hair with hot wand. I’m very happy. Will definitely will be back in 6 weeks. To have my gray touch up.

Today I stopped in for an express men’s facial. I was immediately greeted warmly by the front office staff. I explained to her I had an appointment with Nadia Lewis and right away I was introduced. Shortly after I was taken into the back room Spa area. Nadia exemplifies professionalism and charisma. I felt comfortable and informed the entire time I was being given the facial. After the facial Nadia explained to me a régime I should maintain to keep my face looking great. I will be back and recommend Nadia Lewis for all future patrons.

This was my first time ever going to this place. People have always recommended me to try it but I was too chicken to have“students” do my hair. I finally built up enough courage to schedule an appointment. I made sure the receptionist knew I was an African American with natural hair only wanting a trim, wash and flat iron. To my surprise I got a student who knew alot about natural hair (she was a natural herself). I was at ease. Jamia did her thing! I was so happy with my results. She made me feel comfortable and had me smiling ear to ear. My hair looks so good and silky– I’ve been getting complements left and right! I know my hair has bounce but now I purposely walk to make it bounce even more lol! Thank you Jamia. I will definitely be booking you girl!

Jessica, who graduates on Tuesday, did an awesome job w my trim! I was a walk-​in today and she was able to squeeze me in while waiting for a client who was running late for her appointment. The girls here never disappoint. Thank you!

At first, I was a bit iffy about getting acrylics done here, but they turned out amazing! I waited about an hour but it was well worth the wait. Jasmine did my nails and was super nice and careful. I am definitely coming back. :)

Honestly, it’s a hit or miss. The first time I came here I got this really good girl, flat ironed my hair perfectly, gave me a nice trim. Second time I can’t I got my hair dyed ombré, the ombré came out nice but I didn’t feel like my hair was straight enough…
Came after that the girl did really well… but was so unprofessional. Fourth time I came the lady could not get tangles out of my CURLY hair. Sorry not everyone where’s a weave you gotta be gentle and comb it out… she was very hasty neglected to condition people properly was forceful etc…
This place is affordable and I’m too lazy to flat iron my own hair so here we are. If you have more options, go somewhere else .
Unprofessional, unorganized etc.

First time there and I went to get a color done in my hair. I was very pleased with the work done in my hair, done by Mayra Chavez :)
I have been to another beauty school back in Modesto and the work was terrible and took forever. Marinello Beauty School is laid back but a very classy atmosphere, and the work done around there just by looking around is outstanding. Definitely recommend this place and am coming later on.
Thank you ladies of Marinello Hayward!

I have visited Merinello twice now and have no complaints. Definitely have to come with an open mind and patience.
The first appointment I booked a couple months ago was for an ombré. The students always double check with the teachers before they do anything which is reassuring for sure. They did an excellent job! It turned out great.
Second appointment was just for a trim and some layers. Yet again, no disappointment.
Be upfront with them, make sure the student AND teacher understand what you want. And don’t leave until you’re satisfied!

I love this spot the two times I have been here have been great! The service is prompt and very friendly. They even squeezed me in today when they could have just said no :)
I got a hair cut from Jasmin the first time and the service was wonderful! The second time I saw Ana. She is doin my roots and I am very pleased with her work! The instructors are helpful and available! So no need to worry they will help your stylist get it right :)
Having students work on your hair can be a scary feeling but the risk isn’t really a risk. The instructors are well educated haircraft ladies :)
I haven’t gotta baby other services here YET but I will be trying the deep conditioning treatment.
:)

I’ve been coming her for hair cuts because it’s so cheap and I don’t need much done other than a trim. But on Friday ⁷⁄₁₈ I came for a hair appt and gel nails. First it took them 45 minutes to have someone ready for me when I had made an appointment!!! Why make an appointment when you’re gonna make me wait anyway. Hair cut was fine it’s just a trim.
I also forgot to mention that after waiting 45 minutes, they had me pay before the service. And they asked if I wanted to leave a tip? Ummmmm. THE SERVICE HASN’T EVEN BEEN GIVEN TO ME YET. How was I supposed to tip?!
Now let me tell you about my nails. First, she didn’t clean up my cuticle as regular salons would. She did the bare minimum, so basically my cuticles are still there. Then they used a regular base polish and not gel! And the uv light they used wasn’t even working right so we had to use a different one but it wasn’t til my top coat! ALso, it wasn’t even applied nicely, there are bumps and the sides suck.
Anyway, the next day, saturday, my index finger was already chipping. Tuesday night my index and middle fingers on my right hand peeled off!!! I called today, Wednesday, to ask to get it redone. They didn’t want to because it’s been a few days! AND she said that yes gel does peeled off! I’ve gotten gel nails before and they stayed A MONTH. gel is not supposed to peel off at least for two weeks. So for them to deny me service is not right. They agreed to redo the gel with just those two fingers… –_​_​_​_​_​– NEVER HAVING MY NAILS DONE AGAIN HERE.
Note that I have came here a lot of times for hair cuts. But only the second time for nails. Because the first one disappointed me a few years back as well. They don’t clean your cuticles nicely. I understand they’re students but they’re very scared to touch your cuticles.
