Sometimes I wonder if these people even went to school. I had two people working on my hair at the same time. Feel free to use your imagination. Theres no consistency. They constantly pulled on my hair, kept burning my scalp with the hair dryer and brushed my long hair like I was a rag doll. They stood in groups to gossip for the 3.5 hours I was there. They are rude and swear in Spanish nonstop so you can only wonder if they are talking about you. The girl working on my hair Erane M. Dropped hair color all over my top n pants, she didnt even say anything nor was she apologetic. She tried to upcharge me after coloring my hair. Yea ok...LEARN MANNERS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS! TRY TO USE FULL SENTENCES AND PROPER GRAMMAR.I WILL NEVER EVER COME TO THIS PLACE AGAIN!!!I have to leave one star, but if I had a choice it would be zero..
I came for the same color I recieved from them 4 months ago. I was told they would have to bleach my hair. I didnt get color because she didnt know what I was talking about and apparently neither did I. My request was made clear after my changed service was complete. Student was good and other work to help in weak areas. Sad that school does not teach more about African American hair care. All care is designed for European hair or relaxed hair.
I came in to get tape in extensions installed by Ms. Deanna and she had me sit in front of her class as a demonstration. As always she did amazing on my hair! But overall, everyone at the school were so welcoming. Great atmosphere, super professional. Also, an amazing school to learn in, super hands on and resourceful. I’d def recommend anyone to come in to get their hair done as well as learn. I’ll be coming back for sure! :)
Nothing but good things to say about this place. To begin with, the instructors are amazing. Deidra, Diana and Cheryl were so nice and welcoming. In their students work and also, making sure they match the perfect stylist with the right clients. The first time I went Jada did my hair. She was amazing, super friendly and bubbly. The second time it was Rahniee. I had the best experience with her. She did an amazing job on my braids. Super friendly amazing talent. Her social skills were everything. My son got Merissa. He got his top dyed and the sides faded with a lining. She killed the color and cut. Great job ladies!! Looking forward to my next visit.
I was very pleased with the services provided by the John Amico School in Oak Forest, IL. I had medium 2-strand twists installed on my natural hair by a student named, Aprile. She did an excellent job!! When I return again, hopefully Aprile will be available to do my hair.
I’m a regular client at John Amico visiting once a month for service. I’m always extremely satisfied.Last week i went in for braids. After i paid the cashier for services $70.00 my assigned student told me that she requires a upfront tip of $100.00. & $125. If i wanted to pull braids up into a ponytail .I notified the supervisor and left with no braids
We have loved to serve our client during the CV19 times. Since July of 2020 we did not have any breakout with our students. Plus we never had a client say she was infected at our school. All the protocols have been followed by our staff and students. We thank the thousands of clients who visited us and our entire student team for their support and caring. Our new student bodies have been growing in Esthetics and Cosmetology. In our 57 years of operations we are so please with our students commitment, success of their graduation and career path licensed. The support from our clients has been outstanding. THANKS TO ALL! John Amico
I came in for a wash and blow dry! I had a great time with my stylist Rabel. She also curled my hair and it looked perfect! I was so excited to show off this style at my birthday party (even if it was online) and I got so many compliments 😄. Rabel is so easy to talk to and is very knowledgeable about how to work with hair.
I used to LOVE this place but ever since Covid, they have cut business hours and the students are getting worse and worse. Walking around on their cell phones, have absolutely no sense of urgency, and you are treated like a number and an inconvenience.Yes, there are some caring and great students and workers but the lack of professionalism is very apparent. Feels more like a social club for the students these days than a business.It really is a shame.Yet another visit, 20 plus students standing around and not taking clients at 2 in the afternoon. Call first? Did that. No one would answer phone.They need clients but how do you expect that if you arent even taking them at 2 pm?
John Amico is an amazing School of Hair Design. I have had nothing but the best customer service, and amazing student stylist. Jayda has been the best stylist. She can do ANYTHING!!!.. My hair turns out perfect every time. I absolutely love her. The students are patient and take their time. The instructors ensure that the students are taking care of the customers request. Please give them a try, youll be happy that you did.
I had my first visit to John Amico a few weeks ago. The young lady gave me a first time discount and directed me to Tatiana, a current student. I was very pleased with my experience with Tatiana from beginning to end. She took time to explain every step and was honest about how dry and damaged my hair was. She choose products that made my hair look healthy and shiny and I absolutely loved my haircut. I plan to return very soon!
This is one of the best hair schools Ive been too!! Ms. Caress (not exactly sure how to spell her name) and Taylor gave me a pixie cut and I feel a certain type of fancy, fierce and free. I look good!! I walked out feeling so good and I havent felt this way about my hair in a very long time. Taylor was very professional and kind as well as Ms. Caress. Ms Caress was Taylors instructor and she patient and imparted her knowledge into Taylor with such grace. The students made the environment comfortable and inviting. I just felt like I wanted a change, searched hair schools near me and just so happen I was in the area. I didnt have a lot of money and honey I scored big time, only paid $18!! Those girls know how to do hair up in there! Im so pleased.
If I could give no stars I would. I began the program back in May 2021 and on the first day I wanted to withdraw. The staff are very rude and there is a lack of communication between the staff and the students. The expansion campus located on 147th practically falling apart. Students are left to share equipment and supplies. John Amico himself is a very careless individual and students are treated as numbers. I do not recommend investing is this school for any program.
John Amico Hair school is an excellent school for future hairstylist and nail techs! Their program is phenomenal and it’s been a great learning experience so far! Also, the students do a great job on their clients. I would recommend this school to anyone trying to get their cosmetology license or if you need your hair done properly.
I recently went to John Amico school of hair and design an had a great experience. The service was excellent, And the result was great. The girl that did my hair was great and funny too. Her name was LaDasiah Aldridge and she’s really talented and deserves to be in the program.
I heard really good things about the school from a friend. I got a card from her for 50% off services for a new client, so I thought Id give the place a try. I had a Keratin treatment done, which was great- and the fact that I had that new customer discount made it even better! The last time I had a Keratin treatment done at a regular salon, it cost me $300! I actually think my hair looks better this time around than at the regular salon! Ill definitely be going back there for other services and Im going to check out their spa school, too. Everyone was really nice and super helpful. Ill be telling my family and friends.
I am a student at John Amico and I absolutely love it. The instructors are talented and make it their priority to help us. We learn new skills and techniques everyday and I love that the school is diverse. My peers are also very helpful and the experience here all in all is amazing. I 100% recommend anyone who wants to be successful in beauty to John Amico.
Im a student at JA School of Hair Design Im in my second week going into my third week and every teacher and John Amico himself is very polite and nice I’m always excited to be in school because I am always looking forward to learn something new either from a teacher or classmate. Thank you so much everyone 😊
I LOVE the haircut and style I got there today. My stylist Amanda was very personable and made me feel comfortable with her. Told her to cut as much as it needed and basically do what she wanted and it came out beautiful! Very happy with the length and I woke up the next day with my curls still intact! :)
I’m a student currently here at John amico and my views on the school has definitely changed. I love the educators but the school I don’t so much have the same love as the beginning. There a rule that says we can’t wear hoods but the school gave us the option to buy 10$ blankets with hoods on them 😒. Also there’s a new clock in system that I don’t like we have to scan a QR code with an educator and there not always available or there busy I rather use the clock. I’m also on the marketing team and haven’t felt like I’m apart of it. I just hope things don’t get worse cause my experience here is just going downhill. If you are planning on coming to this school talk to the students so you can get a real idea of how it is here.
My first time at John Amico School was a great experience. I had TaTiana Smith cleanse, condition and style my hair. She was very professional and showed that healthy hair was her concern. She spoke about some excellent haircare products of John Amicos. I would recommend TaTiana for your visit. Shes my new stylist and does an awesome job!
John Amico has been nothing but the best since I started in March 2018. I really appreciate all of my educators for their help with everything as far as helping me with clients or personal things. We really are like a big family here. I encourage anyone who wants to become a licensed cosmetologist to enroll into John Amico School Of Hair Design.
My family is fairly new to the area, and we were told about the John Amico School of Hair Design. I brought my family consisting of 4 females all with long hair by bus! We had a wonderful experience in addition I was also fortunate enough to actually get my very first haircut from the Master John Amico himself. I got a really good, precise long layered haircut which is exactly what I had requested. I have received numerous compliments on my hairstyle however I have not gotten a hair cut since my visit to John Amico. Thanks for a wonderful family experience. Sincerely Traci Henderson
My daughter, Monae, attends John Amico Hair school and this is one of the best decisions in her life. She always had a great skill in doing hair but attending your school has perfected her craft. I normally do not let anyone do my hair but I’m very confident with her doing my hair due to the great staff that assist her when needed. Thank you John Amico.
Hello I am Moneki Hall I started John Amico in Oak forest 2 weeks ago and I love it!!! As of now I rate myself 4 out of 10 only because I am new at this but I know that this will change in the upcoming weeks. We have learned so much in this short time. My pm class is the bomb !! I am so excited………….
The time I visited this place was to get my very first Keratin Treatment,I had it done by such a beautiful friendly girl named Hazel I totally recommend her I was amazed by the great job she did she left my hair looking beautiful silky smooth I loved it! It lasted a good 3 months I am a very pleased with her work. Im not the kind of person that writes reviews so take it from me! :)
I came to John Amico and get sew-in maintaince. I got my hair washed and my tracks tightened by Ashante Vaughn. She was very professional and quick! I thought I was going to be there for half a day but I was only there 2 hours I couldnt believe it! She got my weave completely dry and styled and curled my hair perfectly!🤩 I will definitely be back to have Ashante wash and style my hair again!I just loved my hair and got so many compliments on my style!!!
Hi, Im a new student at John Amico school of hair design. I enjoy helping people look their best. I will help create a new look for you. The school is full of truly talented students; teaching the skills needed to have great success. I look forward to having you come see me for services. See you soon!
I’m an esthetic student here at John Amico and my experience here is amazing. I love waxing and doing lash extensions and eye brows. My goal is to open my own beauty studio and with the help from this school it’s definitely possible. Come try my amazing hydrating or anti aging facial treatment. You won’t leave disappointed
Overall very satisfied with the product I purchased. The only reason it isnt five stars is because they doubled billed my credit card before I had a chance to call they reversed one of the charges. So keep track of your credit card bill in case they do the same thing to you.
My name is Precious! I am currently a student at John Amico school of hair design. Doing hair and making people happy has always been one of my passions. I know a little about hair and know how to do a few styles. After graduating I will be sure to know how to master every style in the hair Industry!
I love this school! They have the flexibility of learning. It’s not only about hair and makeup it’s about learning all the different techniques, how to apply products, and what products work for what skin types. We learn how to be patient and have dedication and most importantly professionalism. We learn skills we need to have to achieve a career. It will be hard at times but it will be worth it at the end .
This review is a longgg time coming. Sorry Susan. I had my sister in law bring my two young daughters in to have their hair done for a wedding I and my husband were standing up in. Susan gave me her personal cell number and asked that I send her pictures of what my daughters were looking for. Their hair looked beautiful and my daughters were extremely happy. I have not forgotten how great you were Susan. I would highly recommend this school. There is a lot of talent in there. Sorry again for the delay.
I recently went to John Amico School of Hair Design. Kennedi Manuel is the best!!!! She is very friendly and knowledgeable. I had never been to a hair school to get my hair done before, but Kennedi made me feel right at home. The school it self has some issues with organization, including the front desk. I believe when clients arrive it should be some type of directions and the front desk shouldn’t assume everyone has been there before. They should have some type of price list that’s tells you the different stuff that is offered and a price list, that way you know what you wanna get. The lady at desk wasn’t very friendly! But once having contact with Kennedi she made me feel better about coming to John Amico. She knows her stuff when it comes to hair, I was very pleased with her and definitely I will be back in two weeks to see her again. Over all the students at the school, Kennedi sure is a leader and some students need to follow her lead when it comes to customer service.
Update: 10/15/21 - I had my hair done again. I get the Five Step which always transforms my damaged hair completely. Im always happy with both the service and the services. Everyone is super nice and helpful. Definitely recommend!Went to a Beauty Event and was pleasantly surprised at the beautiful, well-appointed school and professionalism of the staff. Will definitely be going here for all the services they have to offer! Love the reasonable prices too!
Had a Groupon. Initially there was some confusion when I walked in, however, the instructors ensured that I was taken care of. I had 3 students (Bella, Sylvia and Maha) and 1 instructor Ms. Jackie take care of me and all I can say is my hair is fabulous! Its softer and falls better than it has in years. Ms. Jackie gave me honest opinions regarding the health of my hair and addressed all my needs. The students were friendly, honest and knowledgeable about dyes, cuts and conditioning. I would go back and have encouraged others to try John Amicos.
John Amico is a good school! But, my stylist is the very BEST! Kennedi is a GREAT hair stylist! Shes into growth and maintenance of natural hair. My oldest daughter told me about her. And I will be forever grateful to her for the recommendation. Kennedi is very sweet and personable. She ask questions and give professional advice about caring for your hair. In my opinion, Kennedi is a better stylist than those individuals licensed to do hair. She takes good care of my youngest daughter hair. My daughter refuse to get her done by anyone other than Kennedi! I know shes graduating soon but, our relationship will not end after her graduation. Were a Family now and Im going to follow her wherever she goes!
I am a student at John Amico of Hair Design.... I enjoy learning all the haircuts and watching my work come alive, it truly is an amazing school to attend. We do scalp treatments, haircoloring, roller-sets, and more....Its money well spent and for cheap prices, so if your interested, stop through and come see for yourself.
I’m finally in enrolled in John Amico School of hair design and I am so excited. I’ve been here for only a week and I’m learning great things about the hair and scalp that I never knew. I specialize in braids, so when I came here I thought I knew a lot about hair. Until I starting going to class. I learn something new everyday and I’m looking forward to mastering everything.
I have been growing my hair out for years and finally decided at it was time for a change. My stylist Gristella (GG) was so sweet and made the experience so nice. She listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered beautifully. I am so happy with my haircut and I feel she did a wonderful job. I also talked with Mr. A, and he is the sweetest man ever. He is so authentic and genuinely cares about the clients. It was a wonderful experience.
I went to John Amico for the first time today and I will NEVER go back! I sat for 2 hours and there were people who came in after me that left within that time. I know that Saturdays are busy in any hair salon, but 2 hours without someone even acknowledging me was time considered wasted. There were stylist sitting around doing nothing and one even had a attitude I could smell from my seat. I had to be refunded, and then and only then did they want to find out what the problem was. It was too late, they werent about to waste anymore of my time. This was the worse experience ever. Im sorry but John Amico is not my cup of tea🤷🏾♀️
My mom Alita is a student here. Her skills were already amazing (maybe Im a bit bias) but the growth shes made has been remarkable. Always professional yet so down to earth really brings her own unique style to everything she does. Thankful for the opportunity she has and cant wait to get hooked up when she attends the hair show here in Atlanta with the school.
I loveeeeeee Kennedi Manuel she gives me an awesome experience every time I come there! She’s so polite and always makes me feel comfortable. I love how she makes my hair feel silky and bouncy I always request the (Kenni curls) they always lasts I’m never disappointed after leaving her the she’s BEST THERE! I will ALWAYS recommend customers to her
I’m A Cosmetology Student At John Amico , I Started July 6, 2021. It’s Been About Two Weeks And I Improved On My Curling Skills, I Learned There Are Many Different Curls I Didn’t Know About And I Feel Myself Getting Better. Hopefully In A Few Weeks I’ll Be Better At Braids Next
Each time I’ve visited I had nothing but the best experience! I got my hair colored and cut correct for the first time by Tateona. Having my hair washed was my favorite of it all. Her and the teachers are absolutely amazing. The way they work together share and help each other and you never come across attitude it is definitely worth the time and money.
I always been interested in the beauty industry and I always drove by John Amico, but I was hesitant to go in because of all the other beauty schools I went to and have not found them interesting. When I found out my grandma taught there I finally decided to carry her legacy and join the esthetics program. Makeup has been my main focus, but going to this school taught me so much different things about how to take care of the skin academically, and also hands on experiments. If anyone is hesitant to go to this school I recommend that you give it a shot because I guarantee that you will finish with tons of knowledge! Proof ? Follow me on IG @ beyond_fierce__ for most of my work my amazing teachers taught me. While working in the esthetics program it definitely made me curious about the other programs such as cosmetology, so I guarantee I will come back for more!
My Co worker Karina O brought to my attention to come visit her for a facial due to my large clogged pores I consume during work and lets say it was the best decision I could ever done. Karina and the staff were very professional and educate me how to take care of my skin. I will definitely be coming back for another facial and future services, feel free to stop by John Amico youll thank me later.
I’ve have known about this school since I was 14 years old and I had a tour with Mr. Amico himself and fell absolutely In-love with the school and the environment of students and staff. Since being here I’ve learned how to color and lighten hair and also got to learn how to perfect my braids .
Ooooooooooommmmggggg! My services that was provided by Ceaira Reed was outstanding. My first time getting lashes and I was a little nervous because of other bad family and friends had. However, sitting in this amazing womans chair. She made me feel comfortable. She has great conversation with personality along with personality. She made me feel amazing and with the encouraging words. Ceaira Reed you rock! It was well worth it. Will see u soon!!!!!
I am currently a student of John Amico and I love attending school here because I have the opportunity to do something I have a passion for. This school offers a variety of classes that arent seen at most cosmetology schools. The welcoming environment at this schools makes you want to come back everyday!
I am a student here, and I love atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly and very supportive. I was going into the school, with little of knowledge. Now that I have been here 4 weeks I learned so many new things. Everything is hands on, even on the first day we got to work and was hands on. Come into John Amico and come get the experience that I receives!
I was once a student at John Amico . I can say it’s a good school but over populated . I moved and I am back home so I decided to go back to school . I’ve called everyday since October 5th and no call back once . Yesterday I received a text message , which I felt like was very unprofessional saying that she’s been calling me and she’s busy so she’ll talk to me when she can today . Why would you text someone , and use exclamation marks ? I’ve waited and waited but honest the financial department will always be rude and use the power they have to call back and to restrict who they want . I really hold John Amico himself as a nice and a man with a sweet spirit but the people that work for him are not the same . It’s very rude . Some days I even called twice . I really makes me less excited and I feel like I’m constantly wasting my time . It’s not right to treat people like that . The teachers in the school are great but the financial department has always been unpleasant since my first time attending but now this is past unprofessional . I had to ask myself . Why would I go to a school that treats prior and potential students like that , when it’s there actual job . To be lied too . She never reached out as she stated in the text below .
In the spirit of desperately needing TLC on my hair & finding a great groupon deal to help me achieve it, I decided to try out the place I always drive by. So glad I did! I received great care from Camille T, Amanda C, and two instructors (I have super fine hair which is a challenge to say the least, so the extra sets of eyes and hands really helped me feel like the best decisions were being made). I finally got the highlights I was after - wish I had thought of going here sooner before spending tons of money at high end salons only to get the opposite results. I highly suggest the biominoil treatment (did wonders for my super dry, wacked out post- partum hair) & Im loving the Comeback shampoo that Amanda suggested - this stuff feels amazing on your scalp! Even though I docked a star for the not-so-warm & fuzzy Ms Cheryl at the front desk, and for being majorly pressured to write a review from the chair, before my hair was even done.... umm... :-o I will definitely return for future work on my tricky locks. Also, to all those who lack patience & understanding, I dont suggest going on a Saturday ( I was there for 5 hours) unless you have your day free. You have to remember these are students - give them credit. They are working hard, learning a lot, and need to take their time - trust me youll be glad they do! Excellent work you guys, cant remember the last time I LOVED MY HAIR!!!!
So far my experience here has been more humble and comfortable than I could ever imagine. Ive not only learned so much in these past 10 weeks and have really developed skills I never thought Id be good at! Ive also met some really amazing people that I couldnt see myself with knowing! I wish everyone the best of luck in their future careers after going through the entire program! Im so excited to see what path I end up taking after this one 😊
Wanted to go blonde & was super nervous about it. Everyone there made me feel super comfortable and my nerves turned into excitment. I had Amanda color my hair. She was absolutely amazing. Super happy with how it turned out!Great work & great customer service. Will definitely be reccomending to my friends!
I went in for a basic facial because my skin is undergoing a lot of changes that I didnt understand. This wasnt by far my first facial but definitely the best Ive received. In the past, Ive paid top dollars for services from licensed professional and I was shocked that a student was able to perform and educate me the way that she did. The ladys name was Cearia Reed and she informed me that the weather has a major impact on my skin and that explains why it has been so dry. She recommended that I use sandalwood and frankincense oils because they helped with dry skin and also wrinkles and scarring. She also encouraged me to come back and I will being doing just that!
A++Hi Im Shell. I received an awesome service at the JA spa a couple weeks back. My first time getting a Brazilian wax and Vagi-facial...very different from home self care. Very different. But the after sight omgoodness...I just may have got a husband (j/k). Ladies just try it at least once. And lets not forget the one who performed the service... Ms Lita. She was very informative explaining step by step. Lita has a genuine gift of being people person. Keep up the good job.
I am a first time consmetology student and I am loving it. I have learned Curls, up-do’s and air formations. I am getting better each day. I am really proud of my class for having perfect attendance since we began our cosmetology journey. I look forward to seeing what else John Amico school of hair design will teach me.
My experience at John Amico Hair Salon was not the best. I couldn’t even stay there to get my hair done. The place is looks worn down and outdated . The bathrooms are terrible . I seen plenty of ants as if there is a festation of them.I was talking to other customers and they felt the same way. He really needs to do better. I am very truly disappointed and dissatisfied. I don’t think I will come again.
A huge Thank you to the stylists Amore and Sylvia for the awsome color snd highlights and Shala for the perfect Style!.I started using John Amico products 5 years ago hoping it would help with my breakage, hair loss, and brittle ends and with complete amazement my hair after all these years is thick, long, and shiny!! I just turned 50 with thicker and healthier hair I had in my late 30s early 40s. My suggestions ladies is John Amico products.
I will be keeping everyone updated on my classes and success. I love what I do what I do and when I ask in the styling salon, I will create a new you. I look forward to having you come to me for services. I rate my education at 5 stars. I don’t go to school; I come here because I love what I will be doing for the rest of my life. See you soon.
Hi, Im a student three weeks in at John Amico Im finally going to complete my Dream I started so long ago!! I Love hair and am very passionate about hair. I will keep everyone updated on my progress in school and look foward to having you come to me for service in the near future...😘
My daughter currently attends your school. She couldnt made a better decision for her FUTURE... I like that you have great professional staff there teaching your students the right way. I love what Im seeing everyday my daughter comes home to mastering another skill and learning something new. This is a GREAT school
So my time a John amico is slowly coming to an end! Graduation is around the corner for me and I’m so soExcited. This school has taught me many things that I know a lot of other school did not have to offer. I’ve excelled in many skills such as color/highlights with Ms. Ann & extensions from having extra classes with Mr. Rebuen… but anyways !! Come get your hair done !
Gabrielle Papierski did an amazing job on my cut and color! She did an outstanding job on my balayage, she listened to what I wanted and did exactly that. Not only is she an amazing stylist she is an artist!!!! I highly recommend her to all my friends and family. There will be no other student that will compare to what she can do!Thank you Gabrielle!!!!Jessica Blumenthal
A friend andd I went there for first time facials and we absolutely LOVED IT!! The trainees and trainers were patient and very nice. The lady that did my facial CEARA R. had good customer service. I was very indecisive about which facial I wanted but she took the time out to explain the different facials there were. She’s ?very professional and educated on what she does . IM DEFINITELY GOING BACK TO HER and I would highly recommend you go to CEARA R. as well !
I am currently a student at John Amico in the esthetics program! I love what I am learning! My passion is individual eyelash extensions, which is what made me come back to school to better myself in my career. I love being back in school this was the best decision I made!
I am a student here at John Amico and I am recommending anyone who wants to get a service done to come to me. I am great with natural styles as well as children’s styles. I encourage anyone who wants to enroll here to come and be apart of a great experience of learning hands on.
Hi, I am Alexis and I am a part time night student who is enjoying her time here. I am currently learning how to do relaxers and different perm wraps which was hectic, but I am getting the hang of it. I can’t wait until I learn more things that I hopefully would love and enjoy doing as well.
This is my first week of cosmetology school and I have learned so much! This is a passion of mines and Im extremely happy that I chose to make the career change from nursing to cosmetology. I learned how to do a figure 6 and 8 curl, spiral curls, and collision curls to perfection. I am so happy that I followed my dreams and am now apart of a lifelong family. I am now at the end of level 2 and I have perfected my blow drying air formation.
I go to school here now and I have learned SO MUCH! I am super excited to learn more from these amazing teachers! Also I’ve noticed how they treat their clients like family it’s a comfortable and inviting environment! Can not wait to see what else they have to offer!

I am currently a student in level 5 and I am on the floor full time. I love working on new people and challenging myself when I’m learning something new. John Amico is an amazing school and I’ve learned so much in this short period of time. I’m looking forward to graduating and showing my skills to the world.
I am a student at the oak forest campus. I’m in level 2 now. My teacher has helped me so much to become an amazing stylist and professional. I want to have my own business and Ms. Ann created a business project to help us understand where we can start with that! I cannot wait to get to level 4 so I can work on clients and help guide them in their hair journey!!!! I love it here.
Im a new student at John Amico School of Hair Design. This first week has been an interesting and enlightening time. Im in class with a great bunch of ladies (were expecting our first guy to join our class next month), and our wonderful and inspiring instructors. Love it when Mr. Amico pops on us too. Lol. Im truly excited to continue my education here. Cant wait to hit the salon floor! Dec. 9, 2017 im now approaching the 4th week of level 2. Its been good. Ive learned some new techniques, enhanced a few old techniques. Eager to continue to expand my skills and knowledge. Yay!
My experiance with John Amico school of hair design has been a very postive one. I am still looking forward to the day i graduate. So far i have learned more then i have at other beauty schools. I would recommend this school to those willling to learn. This school give me lofe and motivation
I only came here because of a Young Lady named Nevaeh. She braids my hair on a regular. Shes very Professional and Kind let alone her Amazing skills with braiding hair. She also braids my daughter hair. So the 1 Star is for her because shes a Star ⭐ at what she does. But the overall place its self I didnt like. I wish she would have enrolled in a different school. This place is not professional at All and very pricey for a place who has a bunch of students in there learning. That dont get paid for any of their work. They only get credits for their work. So dont waste your money here unless youre going to see Nevaeh. I know for a fact shes a legit styles. Thank you Neveah for the almost job 👍🏽
I’m Diamond , and I currently attend John Amico. I really love the fact that when I started I couldn’t even perform doing a braid. I am a level one but I’m learning a lot from my teacher and my peers. I love learning new things and I’m very excited and looking forward to graduating and earning my license.
I really enjoyed my experience at John Amico Tateona was truly amazing, every part of the process was so nice I think the wash and conditioning was my favorite part the products really made my hair feel so clean & wonderful I loved it so much and the fact that the prices are so convenient Just makes it so much better, I absolutely can’t wait til my next appointment
Im currently in school at john amico. I rate myself at five stars and really enjoying my experience in this school. I will keep everyone updated on my work and progress as I goThrough and complete my courses...Im currently on my second month improving and succeeding going through each course efficiently.
I am currently a student at John Amico school and I absolutely love it. I started a month ago with little to no knowledge on braiding or updos. Within a month however I’ve learned A LOT new different braids and techniques with the help of the lovely Mrs. T in the beginning as a night time student and Mrs. Dianna and Mrs. Sharon who thankfully I also got as a daytime student who gave us the rest of our education that we needed! Could not be luckier to have TEACHERS WHO CARE about STUDENTS EDUCATION.
Hi my name is Grecia Ayala I am currently a student at John amigo, started September 24, 2019. I am pursuing a career in the beauty industry, I love coloring hair, braiding, styling, etc. I cannot wait to finish school but in the process I will love for you to come in and let me show you my talent.
I am currently a student & I definitely enjoy the learning experience I have with my educators. I love coming to school & having my teachers available to teach me new techniquesUpdate: I enjoyed my experience at John Amico, I’m currently about to graduate within this week & can’t wait. 💕
Hello Stephanie. This is Ms. Sheva. Just wanted you to know I am enjoying my hairstyle. I have received several compliments on this style! There may be a few new clients coming your way😊. Continue to do an amazing job at school! You have such a rewarding personality and tenacity about yourself! Talk with you soon. Take care!
The only reason why this school has so many good reviews is mainly on the fact that they give you free products to give them 5 stars. School is very unorganized. I met a lot of great people and clients at this school but as far as education wise it was a hot mess. Im currently looking into better schools.
I am currently a level 2 going to school at John Amico, it is honestly a wonderful experience for me. I have never had such an opportunity with so many options to choose from and even learn everything. I grew up with a passion for cosmotology, and now going straight into it out of high school has been one of my greatest achievements so far.-Ortensia Ontiveros
John Amico is a great school to attend they help you learn everything their is when it comes to doing hair they also make sure that you are successful and give you all the tools you would need in the real worlds. They make sure that you are salon ready when it come close to you graduating. I Highly recommend This School

2022-06-10I love my John Amico School of Hair Design experience, from top to bottom! I love the staff! I love the students, who are sweet even when nobody is watching, and I love the products which happen to do miracles on my daughters’ hair. I’m all smiles from the moment I walk in until I walk out!

2022-05-28I came into John Amico unhappy with my hair, and two great students Oliva and Jayla helped me leave with a smile on my face! They we’re efficient, kind and help such a great conversation with me through the time I was styling my hair. I was toning my hair, and whenever they were unsure they would always call over their educator Ms. Diana to make sure that everything was correct so that I can leave with the best possible result! Very great experience!

2022-07-27The student who helped me was very nice and pleasant. However, there was plenty of empty chairs and it took over two hours for a shampoo and cut. Had gotten garbage stuck to my shoe from the floor, and there were not enough capes for all the clients. I requested around 3 inches and it looks like they took off at the minimum 7. Had to pretend I had a doctors appointment because the teachers kept walking away and talking amongst themselves. I wish the best to the students but I will not be back here and am very disappointed.

2022-05-21If you’re interested in cosmetology, I HIGHLY DO NOT recommend this school. Staff is Extremely unprofessional, you will not receive the education you’re promised. The teachers are the worst people you will ever meet. 1500 hours is a long time to be miserable and to waste. And $20,000 is a lot of money, so spend it wisely. Please choose a much better school. If I could give 0 stars, I would have.

2022-04-30I dont blame the students at all. if anything, they deserve to get better quality products to use-- especially on peoples hair. I understand using lesser quality products and such on mannequins but peoples hair-- they should be using professional level products.I liked my hair cut but in terms of hair color, its a costly risk and I recommend against doing any sort of bleaching or hair color. I get that theyre all students at the end of the day and theyre learning but this was especially heinous considering an instructor was approving each step.it was pretty obvious that even the instructors were like 😬😬😬 despite that I was unable to get a refund for just the gray hair color that never stuck. I wasnt even asking for a full refund despite how busted I look now. I just wanted a partial refund because the gray/silver never happened. I paid about $160 and I was only asking for $55 back.I can guarantee you that I will probably be able to tone my hair out at home and with a semi permanent dye I get from Sally’s.In summary:1. there isnt enough teachers for the amount of students there.which is kind of ridiculous considering theres a ton of students paying tuition.2. their in house hair color products are garbage. I feel like box dyes are better than whatever they useThese students are paying tuition and im paying for the products... theres no reason to use cheap products on people.3. you will be there for an unreasonably long time because there arent enough teachers4. Facilities are pretty outdated and im shocked that the owner John Amico hasnt updated their facilities at all. It has a church cafeteria from the 70s written all over it.Again, these students are paying tuition, they should have a better a work environment.5. you wont be able to get a refund even though you didnt get what you asked for.even if they skimped on products and failed to get a colorI suspect that the owner John Amico is making a significant profit off of student tuition just trying to get a solid education and customers assuming theyre going to get a pretty decent hair job. I do not get the feeling that he puts students and employees first. It gives greedy owner and under supported staff and student body

2022-06-14I wish I had a Ms. Jamie when I was in school. The students find something very comforting in talking to Ms. Jamie. They trust her and love having her around and close by. She is so polite and kind to everyone. She really lights up the room with her smile.

2022-05-20OMG I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I SAW TODAY AT JOHN AMICO. A teacher and student was arguing loudly in front of EVERYONE and the teacher actually bumped the student hard and maliciously. Like I seriously cannot believe that happened. I am so disappointed. This school has fallen apart so badly since I first start supporting. Like it’s just straight ghetto now. And my hair was terrible

2022-05-255/25- Second visit in a year. Idk what I did to my hair from the last visit but I was a hot mess express. Today I got my hair done by Brianna. She was amazing she was good to talk to too. Between Brianna and ms. Diana they did an amazing job fixing what was a mess. Absolutely love them. Always refer people to themI went in today hair was pretty rough. Erika fixed me up and made me feel like a whole new woman. I can not 1. Thank her enough for what she did and 2. Give a good enough review for her. She really is amazing. And then on top of the amazing work she did she continously checked in on me to make sure my head was feeling OK. Absolutely amazing. I know once she graduates she will continue to do incredible work!!
