  Ximena did an amazing job! I went in for a haircut and blow dry and it was perfect. I got layers with face framing and it looks exactly like my inspo pics. She was also very sweet and explained everything she was doing since it was a huge change (I cut off probably over 4-6 inches). Overall was a great experience and I’ll definitely be back!!<3

  I received a waxing service from America Cervantes, she waxed my underarms & did an amazing job I barely felt the pull. She took her time cleaning and prepping my skin for the waxing service. She has a great personality & made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely come back for another service from her. Thank you America!

  I had a microdermabrasion facial done with Gwen. She did an amazing job. My skin felt so clean and smooth. It was my first time and she took time to explain what she was doing. She was very knowledgeable about facials, recommended some things I could do at home, and she was very gentle with my skin. Thank you, Gwen.

  I had such an amazing experience getting my facial done by Ashley Dominguez! 💕 Before starting the service, Ashley took the time to analyze my skin and determine what type of facial and treatments would be best for my skin’s needs. She included high frequency to target my acne, and the facial massages were so relaxing! By the end of the service, my skin looked and felt amazing. I left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and with my skin feeling so clean and rejuvenated. Ashley was very gentle, attentive, and made the whole experience so comfortable. I’m so happy with my results and would definitely recommend Ashley for a facial! ✨🧖‍♀️💆‍♀️

  My experience with Bellus Academy’s PM program has been extremely disappointing. While there are genuinely talented, dedicated instructors at this school, their efforts are unfortunately overshadowed by ongoing issues that I believe administration has failed to address appropriately. One of the most serious concerns involves Mr. Elijah. Multiple complaints have reportedly been made regarding behavior that has caused female students to feel uncomfortable, including allegations of inappropriate staring and interactions. There have also been concerns raised about his continued use of Meta smart glasses despite school policies regarding their use. When multiple students raise similar concerns on separate occasions, those concerns deserve to be taken seriously, investigated thoroughly, and addressed transparently. Students are paying thousands of dollars for their education. They should not have to attend class feeling uncomfortable, unheard, or concerned that repeated complaints about an instructor are being overlooked. A school has a responsibility not only to provide an education, but also to create an environment where students feel respected and where legitimate concerns are handled seriously. What makes this situation especially frustrating is that Bellus Academy does have some excellent instructors who genuinely care about their students and their education. Unfortunately, a few ongoing problems—and the apparent lack of meaningful action surrounding them—can damage the reputation of an entire school and overshadow the educators who are doing their jobs well. Bellus Academy has positive qualities, but the PM program needs stronger accountability, better communication, and, most importantly, an administration that listens when multiple students repeatedly raise concerns. Students should not have to wonder how many complaints it takes before an issue is taken seriously. For anyone considering enrolling in the PM program, I strongly encourage you to ask questions, speak with current students, and thoroughly research the environment before making such a significant financial commitment.
