Ms Robert’s Beauty Academy

I usually come here if I want things done that’s not to difficult. The wait sucks sometimes but for what you pay I can’t complain. I haven’t had a bad experience here since I’ve been coming for at least 10 yrs. I would recommend it so with that being said let me get my braids done!!!

I have been going to Ms. Roberts since the day they open and I never really any major problems with them; It was only one time my hair got messed up which is awesome going to a beauty school the only con I have is it take too long you end up being there all day! But other than that everything is else is fine and I would recommend this place to anyone who doesn’t have the means to be able to afford a regular licensed beautician.

I am very impressed with the instructors. They support and encourage the students to do there best. I am however disappointed with the clients… they forget it is a school and the students are learning. I have seen some great work come from these students. They are hard working and professional young ladies trying to learn new skills… thumbs up to them

This is the WORST place to get your hair done! The owner is a total bi*ch, the students are not supervised like they are sussposed to be. I understand that the students are in training to be licensed beauticians, but they will mess you up if you don’t speak up! My daughter is not tender headed and can take perms well. The girl that did her hair burned my daughter and made her cry. The last time I went there, I wanted a little bit of hair cut off my back and sides. She almost made me completely bald and left the hair at the top. When I looked in the mirror, I was disgusted. Now I have to wait until my hair grows out before I can do anything with it. I will pay more and go to a regular beauty shop. They will not get another penny, nickel or dime out of me. Lesson learned. Never again!

I get my hair styled at Ms Roberts Academy in hillside and @ 1^st I was sceptic because they were students. They are being monitored by instructors that takes time out for each individual. They take great care of my hair and uses only the best products. The entire place is very clean including the bathroom. They don’t mind answering your questions regarding your hair. The instructors are very nice, such a warm & friendly environment. Needless to say I’ve been going there weekly for eight years.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…

I’ve been going to this school every two weeks for the last three months. I only go for a manipedi and every experience I’ve had has been delightful. The technicians have been so very pleasant and considerate. There are always a teacher observing the students as they work. I’ve never had to wait more 10 mins for someone to start my manicure. The manager is very nice and constantly walking around checking on the customers.

I understand this is a school, but this place was AWFUL. I expected it to be a bit like the Aveda school – the people there are learning, but are professionals, and there are instructors nearby. Not at all. I got a facial and manipedi. The facial was ok, but the towels they used had a lot of hairs stuck to them (gross!!!). They didn’t have any good quality nail polish, and there weren’t many color options. The polish I chose wound up being really old, and the girl who was doing my nails didn’t tell me until it was too late (I wasn’t paying attention when she was doing my toes). She should have told me and suggested I pick a different one. She took *forever* and got nail polish everywhere. I honestly could have done a much better job myself. The polish was so gross and gloppy that it never dried completely and smeared before I got to the car. I had to take it all off when I got home. It was absolutely not worth anything. Terrible experience.
The place wasn’t set up to take clients, and it was dirty and uncomfortable. A bunch of students were just standing around, flirting and messing with each other the entire time I was there. I don’t understand why they had *nothing* to do for over an hour.
NEVER GO HERE.
