So I scheduled an appointment «TO
TOUR THE SCHOOL». Bellamy, was who I was to meet with. So I get there a few before 9:00 and wait for her. She comes in and introduces herself and walks in her office so I am left wondering «do I follow orrr no» when another lady says «you can go in» so I go in and sit. She pulls out some papers (Bellamy) and says welcome back and «I know you have seen these papers before.» And I sort of stopped her and say «this is my first time ever being here.» She says oh okay and starts handing me paperwork for cosmetology, I say «um I am here for the skin care program». I stayed calm and sweet but that is a little frustrating that she has no idea who or why I am here even after talking back and forth and setting up a tour meeting. So she gets out the correct paperwork and has me start filling things out (I’m assuming they just need it for filing purposes) and then she tells me I need to fill out the fasfa, mind you I have mentioned to her and another lady sitting in the room that I was there for a TOUR! So whatever I sit at the computer and start filling it out and she asks if I have my high school diploma on hand, no I don’t. So I keep filling this out online and get to the tax portion. I’m sorry but if anyone can remember tax info off the top of their head, props to you! So I tell her sorry I can’t finish this without my tax forms. She kinda just stood there not saying anything so I got up and say in the other car infront of the desk and she asks if I have my diploma on hand (again) along with my social and Id I said I have my id but nothing else. At this point I am getting frustrated but remaining very professional and collected. Bellamy seemed a bit turned off that I didn’t have those things and says «well yeah cause we need them to make copies». I said well I don’t have them. So she hands me a paper to sign and does not tell me what it is! (Still haven’t take a tour) then she points to the paper and says my $ 100 registration fee is due today. I said «no I’m not here to do this today I am here for a tour. She looked confused or lost and finally says okay let’s do the tour.
The tour included a one minute walk around the school. I literally had to ask «what is this room» as she walked past the room with all the skin care tables. I literally had to ask «so is this where we take clients or?». Why am I asking?! It’s a tour and I should be getting a tour and description of everything! Not to mention the student kit you pay $ 350 for, I was only shown the brushes.
So, to be honest, my feelings for the skin care program at all are completely turned off. I don’t think I’ll be returning here for sure.
I felt she was very unprepared and unprofessional. Made me feel extremely uncomfortable and awkward. Honestly it was a complete waste of time. An hour I was there for nothing.
Tip: when someone has an appointment with you take a second to re read what they are coming for so you don’t make them feel completely unwelcome.
A plus side, the school was clean and looked really nice, to bad.
I just learned Carl was the women sitting in with me and Bellamy and I am shocked to learn she was the OWNER. And let it run as it did. «/

When I started g skin I loved it. Thank god I graduated 1 month ago. This place is the most unorganized place. They are constantly out of products, the teachers that were there before were replaced with teachers from marenella which recently was shut down. I paid for NECA certification which they decided to do away with so in short I’m just out that money. I’m very disappointed to see what has happened to this school. Btw Ms sherry the new senior instructor was very helpful

G Skin and Beauty Institute on Warm Springs road is my favorite secret place to save money and be pampered.
They provide a multitude of services, esthetician, cosmetology, and nail techs. I have gotten my haircut here and have tried a couple of their facials (pumpkin, oxygen and microderm). They are students, after all it is a school, but I don’t have any complaints so far. The facials are pretty straight forward, about an hour long depending on what you are getting done. The hair can take a while longer, if you go here you have to prepare yourself to be there for a while (I bring a book). I am not afraid to ask questions while getting my haircut, so if something doesn’t look right I will ask and the student usually grabs an instructor to double check. I have short hair so sometimes the cut is tricky.
The menu of services is pretty large and the prices are very reasonable. You can use a debit card to pay but if you tip, you can only tip in cash. They are open for student services Wednesday-​Saturday. And they have late hours during their weekdays.

I have been meaning to write this review for a number of months. I have been a student at G Skin & Beauty in Henderson for just under one year. In this time, my impression of the school has gradually evolved from «like it» to «love it!!» Nobody has asked me or paid me to write this review! (Orig review written Nov 2014 but school changed Unilocal listing, erasing all old reviews).
When I finally decided to earn my esthetician’s license, I first attended a school in Spring Valley (won’t mention the name but you can probably figure it out) without doing any research. All I knew was that it was affordable and it was close to my home. It was just horrible! Please do your research before spending thousands and committing a year of your life! There was a true lack of professionalism ~ between teachers /​students ~ a terrible parking situation and a severe lack of proper, knowledgeable instruction. It was just a crappy school all around, so I quit after about 30 hours. Not letting my dream go, about six months later finally found another school with an esthetics program in Summerlin. It too lacked many of the attributes I sought– however, I signed a contract and I figured «just stick it out and get my 900 hours.» We were without our text books three months after beginning school; no makeup kits, constantly without the necessary product to perform popular procedures on the public, supplies, you name it — the school was struggling financially which was confirmed by an abrupt closure /​lock out in late December 2013 when the Las Vegas Constable changed the locks, essentially leaving 106 students without a school, as the owner did not pay rent. After searching for yet another replacement school in Las Vegas I found that I had four options, and none of them were anywhere close in proximity to my home in Northwest Las Vegas. My options were Aveda, Euphoria, Marinello, and G Skin. Euphoria was the front runner until I found out that my tuition would be $ 3,000 more than G Skin & Beauty (and only the Summerlin location offered esthetics — however the Northwest location was planning on adding esthetics to its menu, just not anytime soon). Euphoria, while more expensive, did not offer the schedule flexibility that G Skin seemed to offer. Aveda did not seem to have a broad enough scope of instruction, focusing mostly on its own product line, not diving into microdermabrasion, etc. (G Skin also offers laser skin care training in Arizona, it seemed more progressive than Aveda). Marinello was never a place I wanted to go — seems behind in the times and a bit ghetto. Now, after much consideration and disappointment, knowing the G Skin has been in business for 50 years out of Chicago IL. I would have to drive over 20 miles each way to school, but my gut told me this was the right choice, all considered… and my gut was right! There are two instructors at G Skin who wear the hats of esthetics instructors /​management: w
The general manager is Saundra Carroll — a veteran of the beauty industry who is unbelievable knowledgeable about all things skin. Ms. Saundra has worked in the medical field, has owned her own salon (s), and has worked for G Skin for over six years. She is compassionate toward every single student, treats every person equally, and never turns her back or says that she doesn’t have time to answer a question or offer her opinion when asked. Any time I asked a question, she stopped and turned to me, looked me in the eye, and answered me in a way I fully understood. Ms. Saundra is an incredibly talented kind and brilliant teacher and anyone who gets to spend time with her is very fortunate! G Skin also provides its students with Mr. Paul, who is second in charge of the entire operation (from cosmetology, nail, as well as esthetics). Mr. Paul and Ms. Saundra work very well together, and he too is super knowledgeable, helpful and truly cares about his students and always insures that we have all the tools necessary o be successful from our time at school, to preparing for the Nevada board exams to answering our questions, getting tests completed, you name it. Ms. Saundra and Mr. Paul are excellent of defusing nonsense, which as you can imagine, is impossible to avoid in a place where 95% of the occupants are female.
One last note: G Skin is the only place in Las Vegas that offers its esthetician students the ability to become certified through NCEA (National Coalition of Esthetics & Associations) which, to be brief, is an optional «layer» of education /​studies /​testing that actually turns what would be a 900 hour Nevada esthetician into a 1,200 hour esthetician through passing the NCEA test. The certification gives an obvious edge over other candidates straight out of school, and throughout your esthetician career! Love them

Best place in town for esthetics!!! They do several facials depending on your needs, treatments for acne, back treatments, waxing, hair and nails. You get a professional experience for about $ 24 dollars. I’m never going anywhere else for esthetic services. Ask for Jennifer D.
Don’t waste $ 90 dollars somewhere else or more. They take their time here with your care. She helped purify my cystic acne complexion that’s genetic in my family. I wish I could give it more stars than just 5. They have late hours too and take clients till 8:30 since they close at 9:30. Just respect the fact that it is a school at the same time so an oops of two could happen but I do not care since it’s $ 24. They are open Tuesday-​Saturday and the late hours are awesome since I’m a teacher.
