Educators of Beauty

I’ve been a client at Educators of Beauty twice in the past year and Anna was my stylist both times. I was super happy with the services she provided: touch up color with low lights on the first visit and a haircut with root touch up and lowlights on my last visit in March. Anna (with Trina’s support) took great care of me and made my hair look healthy and lively. Bu-​bye grays! I loved the haircut, too. Hoping to get back in before she graduates in June.
Which brings me to my soap box. I saw another review up here and I’m disappointed to say the least. This is a SCHOOL salon. To walk in here and expect it to be as fast as a normal salon, well, that’s just wrong – especially anything involving color and a hair cut. To call out and give a STUDENT a bad review on social media is wrong. Complain in person to the management at the school and let them resolve the problem. Don’t take it to Unilocal.Please!
For those of you reading this and considering if the a school salon is for you or not, please read on!
The most important thing to keep in mind when choosing to frequent a beauty school salon is that it’s going to take longer – sometimes a lot longer– than at a regular salon with a licensed beautician – not a student. The benefit to the client is the highly reduced rates of the school salon services and the feel goods that you are helping a student learn and perfect their skills.
I’ve been to the Aveda Salon School in Chicago and it is a comparable experience to the Salon at Educators of Beauty in Rockford in that there was a lot of waiting and it took longer than a normal salon. But I went in there with that expectation, because that is the only expectation one should have in that situation.

I’ve been there in the past and never had issues. I recently went and got Anna, do yourself a favor and stay away from her doing your hair. She chopped my hair really bad and her instructor Trina did it even worse. They kept saying I needed it and avoided what I even wanted and kept telling them not to do. Very ignorant. Anna took almost 5 hours, barely even checked on me, and left hair coloring after «shampooing» my head. Overall horrible service from them 2, but the rest of the girls seemed just fine and capable of doing a fine job.
