2025-11-01I had my manicure done by Mia at the college of beauty, and I was so impressed by her attention to detail! She gave me a beautiful fall inspired look with matte orange nails and a glossy flower and leaf accent, the contrast was stunning. She took her time to make everything perfect, and it really shows. Highly recommend her work

2025-12-18I just had the best facial of my life at Saddleback Beauty Academy with Geneive, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. As a student, she brought such care, professionalism, and skill to every part of the treatment. You could tell she genuinely loves what she does and takes pride in her work. The experience was relaxing, thorough, and left my skin feeling amazing. What really stood out was her attention to detail and how she explained each step of the process. And the price? Absolutely unbeatable for the quality of service. I’m already planning to bring my wife in for an appointment with her. If you’re looking for a fantastic facial at a great value, do yourself a favor and book with Geneive while she’s still at the academy. She’s going to have a very successful career ahead of her, and I feel lucky to have found her. Thank you, Geneive!

2025-12-19I took my 10-year-old son and myself for haircuts at Saddleback Beauty Academy and we were both thrilled with the results. My son got a cut from Frankie, and it looked great, exactly what he wanted. I had my hair done by Kat, who was incredibly sweet and thorough. She explained everything she was doing and made sure I was comfortable throughout. She apologized for taking extra time, but I completely understand that patience is part of the process when you’re at a beauty school. The students here aren’t rushing through, they’re learning, and that means they need time and instructor guidance. Honestly, the attention to detail shows in the results. If you’re okay with a bit of extra time and want to support future professionals, I highly recommend this place!

2025-11-26Simply love the attention and time my haircut took. From the beginning of our chat, to getting my head washed, and seeing my lovely new haircut was an wonderful experience. The students and teachers work together to make sure the end results are what customers want! I was so relaxed. Thank you for such great work!

2025-09-18Roberto was my stylist. He listened to me as I explained the kind of cut that I wanted. He asked questions about how short I wanted my hair cut. During the cutting process I could tell he was focused on my hair cut but at the same time engaging with me in conversation. I felt that this experience was relaxing. Best part of this experience, was that I left with exactly the hair cut that I had asked for. Thank you, Roberto and Saddleback Beauty Academy
