Best Beauty School Lansing Near Me

Sapana Gupta: I needed a hair cut, went to Douglas J., and was randomly assigned Hayley Lea — and I will *definitely* request to have her next time I’m in town!She was incredibly patient, a careful listener, and very flexible. I usually hate getting my hair cut because I often feel like the person doing my hair has their own vision of what would look good and loses sight of my initial request. Hayley was a very good communicator and I never felt like I wasn’t in control :). I 100% recommend requesting her for your appointment!(In the picture below, she gave me a trim and short layer, along with a wavy/curly blowout)

Tondra Price: I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge Reham!!! She works front desk at Aveda Institute in East Lansing! She is one of the most kind young women you will ever encounter AND GORGEOUS I might add. I feel such joy whenever she is there. An amazing representation of The Institute❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💯.

Nadz Marcelo: Always great service, and they make sure to take the health of your hair in consideration before performing any chemical processing.

Joyus Miller: Morgan A did such a great job with my haircut

Sammanie Prematillaka: My first time visiting here. Mistakes happen but they give their MAXIMUM effort to correct it. I got my highlights done from a very sweet girl but I felt bad to tell I wasn’t satisfied with that as she put so much effort into it. However, I absolutely fell in love with the way how Cynthia re-did my highlights. She paid attention to small details of my hair and now I can’t stop looking at my hair ! I feel so good.Thank you Team Aveda ♥️

sara afzal: I really love this salon and the tea service too. Kelsey is a very hard-working girl and leave no gray hairs nothing in my hair roots. I like her partial high lights too. The professors are very kind and compassionate and caring. 5/5 for this salon. I would highly recommend going ig here.

Brianna Lagunas: i love it here , the girl whodid my hair was named emily and she’s so sweet , she massaged my head and it felt so good , im definitely going back .

Danjel Babayan: Dont come here if you want short hair, Mentor was very aggressive on my head and cutting in a harsh way. Seemed to be in a rush. Maybe one of the worst haircuts ive had in my life! Nothing like the picture I showed the stylist, my "fade" was not blended properly, Folliculitis left on my head (red streaks on scalp) due to dirty, plastic and cheap clippers, My stylist didnt even own her own pair of clippers and had to ask another person for their clippers, never comming here again.

Ahmed Ali: Andy and Coke never miss

Gretchen Brown: Took my daughter for a birthday spoil. Facial and a haircut make you feel like new.Went and had my hair done today, 5/13/23. Quinn Springsteen was my stylist. She did a fantastic job. She is only a couple months from graduation, so run, don't walk to see her.

Sammy Cohen: Kamryn K. Was very professional and nice. Great haircut and great service.

Marisa G.: Aliya was amazing to have do my hair and she did my eyebrows amazing!!

Emma Repp: I loved my haircut from Quinn!! She did such a great job. This was my first time at Douglas J and I’ll definitely be back. You can’t beat the quality and price!!!

Alejandré “Alec” Xavier-Avilés: Alison M did a phenomenal job!!

Skye Bristol: Got a balayage with Lucy Mitchell and she did a great job! Everyone is always very nice!

Mary Stephens: Everything was great. No problems. The student wanted to please the client. Very professional.

Dave Topping: I had the great privilege of having my hair cut and styled by Ms Sierra Pearson, a student at the Douglas J Aveda Institute. This was my first time having my haircut at this or any school and I was a bit hesitant. Ms Pearson, the Aveda staff, and her instructor immediately put me at ease. They explained the process completely and Ms Pearson and her instructor checked in with each other and me throughout the session. Ms Pearson is a brilliant conversationalist and was completely comfortable working with me (despite our differences in age and backgrounds). The haircut was perfect and the experience was amazing. While I don’t live in the area, I would gladly return if I was in the area for any service they offer. I know Sierra will be a success wherever she goes after graduation. This experience completely exceeded my expectations. Thank you!

Anita Stovall: Taylor C. Made me feel very comfortable receiving my first facial. She described every step of the procedure including massaging my shoulders.

Chelsea Withey: Kaitlyn was awesome to work with! Super friendly, listened to everything I wanted & was honest about what could realistically be done with my hair. It was the best haircut & color I've had in years!

Tori Shultz: I had a nail appointment for 8:30, which I was on time to. I filled out the paperwork and then sat down and they informed me my nail tech was running behind; no problem.After about 15 minutes a woman walks up to me and explains that my nail tech has the option to be in anywhere from 8:30-9:30.This is not something they told me could happen when I made the appointment (which is booked for 3 hours already). I canceled my appointment as my time is obviously not valued; I don’t understand why the students are given this flexibility when in the real world you aren’t able to be an hour late to a salon appointment.

Swathi Chitrapu: Angelina is amazing , awesome!!! I went in for a spa pedicure , she is very careful , gentle , patient,. She made sure she wasn’t hurting me- very sweet & professional!!It was fun. Also, the products she used were fresh, minty, heavenly!!!Would 100% recommend Protege to everyone!!

Becky Abercrombie: I've been very happy coming here. They listen to what I want and provide exactly what I need to achieve my goal.I'd like to recognize Erica Sliwa, who will soon be graduating. She is patient, kind and very professional. If I lived closer, I'd follow her to the salon where she will work. Good luck Erica! Your clients will be lucky to have you!
