  I had a great experience getting my haircut and blowout with Liset! As a student, she was incredibly sweet, professional, and attentive. She took her time to make sure my hair turned out exactly how I wanted. Based on my experience, it's clear the academy does a great job training its students, they're given the skills and consistent support/supervision to provide a high-quality experience. The salon itself is beautiful, clean, and has such a welcoming, professional atmosphere. The music was a great touch too and made the whole visit feel relaxing and fun. I'll definitely be coming back!

  Today, I came into Bellus Academy for a Brow Tint and Wax. I was serviced by Tera G. who did an amazing job. She was timely, attentive and very knowledgeable about the service. Each step in the service, she explained what she was doing and showed me the progress she made towards the completion of both services. She advised me to come back into 4 weeks to be refreshed. I was highly impressed! Will be coming back to get this service again. If you mention my review at the El Cajon location, you will get 50% off your service! My name is Desiree J. Please note, this special is for new customers only.

  I had came in with dead ends & was a little nervous because it was my first time coming into Bellus Academy. I was welcomed with much kindness and had Selena do my hair. At first, we were just going to cut off the dead ends to try to revive my hairs health but I had decided I wanted to cut my hair ( which was about 12-13 inches long ) into a bob ( chin length ). Selena was very understanding and helpful as to which products would be kind to my hair, very knowledgeable on how to blow dry and use heat without damaging the hair and very precise with the cut. She is very detail oriented, careful, gentle and made sure I was comfortable with the amount being cut prior to cutting it without making me feel uncomfortable or like I was being judged. I appreciate the amount of trust she put into my decision considering in the past I’ve gone to places to cut off a large amount and instead of adhering they would try to talk me out of it based on personal opinion. But I knew what I wanted, communicated it to Selena and was shown much love and support. She said it was my hair and therefore I get to decide what to do with it since I’d be wearing it and she was happy to help. The end result made me very happy and the overall experience was more than pleasant. I’d definitely recommend coming to Bellus Academy.

  I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to Rana Alyafeai for the outstanding facial treatment experience she provided. From the moment I arrived, Rana made me feel comfortable and welcomed. She took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the treatment and carefully reviewed my health history and any recent procedures I had undergone over the past 20 days to ensure the treatment was tailored specifically to my needs. The facial itself was exceptional. She expertly applied the appropriate products and treatments, performed a deep and detailed cleansing and exfoliation, and followed with a relaxing facial massage. The experience became even more enjoyable as she also massaged my shoulders, neck, and head, helping me completely unwind. The warm towel treatment at the end was the perfect finishing touch. When I left her office, I genuinely felt like a new man—refreshed, relaxed, and rejuvenated. I have visited many places for facials and skincare treatments over the years, but none of them come close to the level of professionalism, care, comfort, and attention that Rana provided. I give Rana Alyafeai my full support and highest recommendation. She is truly outstanding at what she does. Without hesitation, I rate my experience a perfect 10 out of 10. Thank you, Rana, for making this such an incredible and memorable experience.

  I got the pleasure of being taken care of by Rosa. I came in wanting to achieve a challenging style/color, not realizing the true condition of my hair. Not many people go into the process of doing my hair confidently, but Rosa was very confident and knew what she was talking about and doing, she expressed some things about my hair I didn’t know myself. My biggest thing for these past couple years has been how uneven the tones in my hair are, Rosa executed my color correction and my heart health perfectly. I came out the salon happier than I’ve ever been about getting my hair done, it’s never felt or looked as healthy as it does and she was even able to flat iron it! Which is one of my biggest hair challenges, she went into it with confidence and consistency and my results came out so amazing. I will definitely be making Rosa my new hair girl. Highly recommend asking for her specifically, very trustworthy and I can for sure leave the fate of my hair in her hands
