CAMEO College-essential Beauty

02/20/2008 Posted by ch1987

I've been to many day spas and beauty schools. And Cameo is, without a doubt, the nicest facility, the best education and offers the most satisfying treatments. Their services are priced so low that you definitely get MORE than you pay for. Of course, these ARE students performing the services on you. They are learning every day with every appointment and of course the best way to learn is through experience, whether it be a good experience or a bad one. Highly recommended.

Pros: Low prices, relaxing atmosphere, friendly students and staff

Cons: None

In this review it has a section that states how to word and rate any company, business etc. that you want. One of the suggestions is "Compare apples to apples: Burger joints shouldn't be held to the same standards as four-star restaurants" I would like to make sure that i come off the right way. A SCHOOL CAN NOT BE COMPARED WITH A FULL FLEDGE WORKING SPA/SALON!!! I have been to Cameo many many times this year and feel that the comment made by the person saying she would not recommend this place to anyone, is Highly Highly Mistaken. I believe that CAMEO is a wonderful place filled with wonderful minds and hearts! The STUDENTS that are learning do an amazing job with what little training they have at the time!!! When someone comes in to get a service done i believe they view the STUDENTS as employees... They do not work for the SCHOOL they pay to attend the school and get the best education available in the state of UTAH! How else are they going to learn how to be professionals?! That is how any school is.... the student must learn the technique on a live human! you take a chance by going to ANY school!! I would ABSOLUTELY reccommend CAMEO COLLEGE OF ESSENTIAL BEAUTY to ANYONE and EVERYONE!!! GREAT JOB GIRLS... and the few GUYS!!! The more people that go in for services the better the students will be upon completion!! If it was your Son or Daughter that was going to school in this field would you support them? I would!! and I DO!!!

Pros: Great prices, Fun people, amazing services.

Cons: Parking is tight.

I happen to think that Cameo College is a fantastic place to go and be pampered at a reasonable price. I enjoy the services I receive on a regular basis and would recommend Cameo or a Cameo graduate to anyone. I will say not every experience is the same because some students are farther and more experienced in their education but they were beginners once as well. They have to learn some how and that happens to be on those that CHOOSE to experience the services from a SCHOOL. I have witnessed patrons that have come in and expected experts out of the LEARNING students and break down any confidence that the students may have in their selves in seconds because they went in with too high of expectations for a SCHOOL and took all their frustrations out on the student. I Just happen to love the fact that I am contributing to their education and helping them progress in their talents even if the services aren't at a professional level at times because they aren't professionals...yet- they are students. Anyway, I love Cameo and recommend it to anyone unless you don't understand what the definition of SCHOOL and STUDENT means. Which basically in a nutshell means that there are no guarantees but I would say more often than not, I have received professional QUALITY services from a supervised STUDENT.

Pros: Great prices and quality work!

Cons: You may get a less experienced student, which is still okay... they all need to learn. Also, very limited parking.

Cameo College is a fantasic place to go to get almost anything done!! The do anything from cuts and styles to skin specialty treatments! The students are great at what they do, ambitious and most of all KIND. Of course it is a college... meaning NO garentees, NO promises, & of course just like at ANYother business, restuarant, store or spa; you have the chance of getting a sour sally, or ditzy dana. Over all it is a relaxing atmosphere in the day spa and an upbeat friendly atmosphere in the salon. This is a great way to get a bit of a cheaper price while helping the students at the same time!

Pros: You actually end up getting more and paying less!

Cons: some people tend to forget, it is a SCHOOL, so there are no promises.

My experience at Cameo Spa could not have been more unpleasant. While the students are very nice, they are completely unqualified to be performing the services they say they can perform. Also, while it is posted all over the website, as well as throughout the entire salon, “supervised students” means absolutely nothing. The time estimated for any treatment, minus the spa skin care, will take a minimum of double the time. While acrylic nails are “guaranteed for two days,” mine started falling off after two hours. I had to pay $70 to have them soaked and redone for my sisters wedding, and the owner of Cameo refused to even pay me back for the horrible job done by her staff/students. I was offered no compensation and told that had that been the case, they would needed to see how bad they were. (a written statement from another salon would not have been proof enough, along with a bill from the very same day) I would NEVER recommend this place to ANYONE. The services are very cheap, but so is the quality. You will pay MUCH more getting their mistakes fixed. I would go so far to say, I would never schedule an appointment with a cameo spa graduate, if the school feels their students are ready to work on paying clients, they probably allow them to graduate with the bare minimum knowledge as well.

Pros: Cheap Prices

Cons: Cheap quality, Unqualified students, Mistakes that will cost a ton to fix, the list goes on .

Cameo College has a beautiful Day Spa in connection with it's esthetician program. I've been there for facials and spa pedicures several times. The environment is pleasant and the students are always very professional. Don't be discouraged because it's a school, this place is a smokin good deal for pampering.
