  This is a review for hair color at the school. Em and Lexi were excellent. They gave great attention to detail. My hair turned out just exactly how I wanted it. I went for a tint touch up and also got a gloss on top of the color. I definitely will use Bellus again and it's wonderful to have your hair look great and to have saved the cost of the very expensive hair color process that would be expected at a high-end salon.

  I was a student here for two months, until the headmaster pulled me in an accused me of bringing a weapon I don’t own to school, with the explanation that 5 people reported me. As a newer student I didn’t even know 5 personally, and after an investigation was done I got no apology, and was never told who accused me of something that heavy. My other friend here dropped out due to racist remarks made by a teacher. My other friend at the time had a terrible bleach job that was discolored and damaged their hair, and when I asked where they got it done, to no surprise it was Bellus. Not to mention the racist and homophobic remarks I’d constantly hear from other students. This is a terrible school ran by incompetent people, and if you’re looking to get your hair ruined with no apology this is the perfect place to go. The harassment I went through at this school was unlike anything I’ve ever gone through, and I was never even refunded. This school put me through trauma, took my money, and it seems like I’m not the only one. If you’re going to a cosmo school to get services done, make sure you go literally anywhere else other than Bellus.

  I had such a great experience at Bellus Academy with Carlo and Jasmine! They did a balayage on my hair and it turned out amazing. Carlo was really detail oriented and made sure everything blended perfectly, checking his work along the way which I really appreciated. Jasmine was just as great, she was super attentive, helped make the whole process feel comfortable, and had such a good eye for what would look best. They worked so well together and really complemented each other, definitely a dynamic duo. I’m so happy with how my hair turned out and would 100% recommend them!

  I had such a great experience with Chelsea L at the manicure and pedicure spa at Bellus Academy! She did an amazing job—super detailed, professional, and made the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable. What really stood out to me was the value. For just $48, you’re getting quality work that honestly rivals (or even beats) a lot of nail salons charging double or more. With prices going up everywhere these days, it’s refreshing to find a place that delivers great results without breaking the bank. If you’re looking for a clean, welcoming environment and someone who truly cares about their work, I highly recommend booking with Chelsea. I’ll definitely be coming back!
