Loraine’s Academy

This place is very badly organized and run. And trying to get an appointment with the ‘spa’ for a facial is an exercise in frustration. Pay a bit extra and go to a professional! And forget their price list… apparently the price for a color touch up depends on who you talk to, and the person I talked to wanted more than double what their price list stated!!!

Graduated over 15 years ago from this establishment, which helped me earn an amazing career. My career continues to reach new levels, styling hair for celebrities, television, newspapers, print ads, who knew? They are careful to encourage and nurture one talents.
Lorraine’s is a clean and welcoming facility. The teachers and staff are extremely friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and most important willing to share all information that will help you get Licensed. Lorraine’s continues to bring in modern equipment, technology, techniques, treatments and staff. One can excel to great heights.
I have kept in contact with them over the years, invited to speak to current future cosmetologist. They care about every individual. You will not be disappointed. Invest in your future, learn a great trade or treat yourself to the many services at Lorraine’s Academy. Weather you want to be pampered or get a career this is a great place to go. You can not go wrong.

There’s always a Silver Lining to every trial. I’ve been a FAN of Lorraine’s Academy since 1981. The great news is that there are so many happy people being served there that they still have the same chaos at the front desk as has been the usual since it’s opening long before 1981~ in fact 1966 to be exact!
One thing to remember is it is a school. People are LEARNING and when you go there, you are the teacher in a way. The students are guided of course by the very TOP instructors available in the industry. The owners make sure of that!
A Glitch here and there has to be expected as these are students who want to CARE for people. They are there to find out their strengths and weaknesses. Required to try out varied aspects of the profession you may meet someone working the front desk who is happier in the laboratory mixing hair color.
No it may not be perfect but, the price is right and sometimes when we are meant to learn something ourselves, the teacher shows up for us, too. Lorraine’s is not just a place for students to learn a craft but also an opportunity for we as customers to learn patience, gratitude and understanding.
When the student is ready the teacher will come. I encourage any one to visit Lorraine’s Hairstyling Academy~ for some people it is the BEST experience of their lives and it happens for them EVERY week! Go ahead~ you never know what you might learn.

Me and my best friend had a wonderful experience at the new LA Spa. I had an amazing back facial and my friend loved her European Facial. Great, nice, beautiful and wonderful place. We loved our girls day out and can’ t wait to visit again!

So I called there yesterday and the girl I spoke to scheduled me for a haircut tonight at 6:00pm. She did not give me her name and I didn’t ask. I get there at 5:50pm tonight after work. It’s crazy busy, and chaotic, dirty, there’s a long line at the front desk. When I get up there I tell the lady I’m here for my appointment and who it was supposed to be with. She says, Oh, well _​_​_​_​_​_​, went home already. I said, Ok well I scheduled my appointment yesterday so??? She was like oh, well, we don’t have it down so I guess you’ll just have to come back some other time. No offer to put me with another person, or offer to reschedule me. She just looked at me with a blank stare. WTF?! I just said well Ok, I guess never mind then. I was really hoping to get a cut since it’s almost Christmas and I can’t afford to go to an expensive salon. Guess I will never go back there again. ;(
