  • The Marinello School of Beauty wouldn't be my first choice since we live on the complete opposite side of town and the drive down there was rather intimidating to say the least. I'm sure there are many roads to this school but my Garmin GPS drove us through a neighborhood with barbwired homes that the owners still didn't feel comfortable in so they reinforced their windows with metal bars! It was 11am as we made the pilgrimage to the School and I couldn't keep track of the number of homeless people I saw but will say we passed 3 different people sitting on curbs drinking 40's and no matter how long I live here, even in Vegas this still seems wrong to me. I've seen my fair share of Slums and homelessness but my poor step daughter grew up in a totally different environment and she looked over at me and with shock/concern exclaimed "OMG where the hell is this place? I can't believe Mom signed me up to come here knowing it was in this part of town...We better not get mugged cause there is no way I'm missing Prom!" I laughed and told her we would be fine as I've seen a lot worse neighborhoods in my time (although not by much). Sorry I went off on a tangent again. we were there for hair and makeup and that really should be the focus of the review: The student the mother knew ended up playing hookie that day. After explaining to the receptionist 3x who we were, why we were there and yes we had a reservation the daughter ended up being placed with someone named Yolanda. She took a look at the Carrie Underwood style hairstyle and said sure I can do that. I wasn't allowed into the cutting area of the school but told the daughter to scream if she needed me. Two hours later and no yells from the back & I've read the Magazine I brought with me cover to cover and have to wonder just what in the world is taking so long? My kid went in beautiful and only needed a spit shine/polish. It took a few minutes to remember this is a school and the people working here aren't pros yet. Make sure to have at least an extra hour to kill or you will run out of time real quick. The daughter did emerge almost 3 hours later looking gorgeous and smiling ear to ear so I'm guessing she loved her look. The receptionist lost control of the lobby around 14:40 hours as one mother dropped off 5 kids under the age of 6 or 7 and went and sat in her car to talk on her cell phone. I know this as their horseplay was driving me nuts. In fact it was so bad it chased me outside and there was the mother talking to her boytoy on the phone in the car next to mine. Was never so happy for AC and a working car stereo! The price was cheap, the experience was scary yet entertaining as in will we survive or won't we kinda way. My daughter did have a few complaints the first being about the girl having to redo her hair three times as the professor lady wasnt happy with how Yolanda and her other students had done something with her hair. Her face also came out about 3x as dark as the rest of her neck and shoulders and I had to wonder if that was a result of their not being used to working on someone with her pale Irish complexion. I explained another time to her this was a school the people are learning and to give them a break because they made you even more beautiful than you already are. That eased her down but... Of course the mother was not amused as the daughter and her prom date stopped by her restaurant to show off their outfits and hairstyle She noticed two of the curls had already come undone from the design. I swear I left the top up on the ride home so it must have either been the boyfriend with his windows down. OK so to recap. Its in a bad part of town/ghetto. The treatments are cheap but you end up paying for it in time and stress sitting in their lobby with some interesting and sometimes scary people. I'm sure quality isn't top notch across the board but remember they are students and not pros. If you aren't willing to take a gamble. Go to a real salon and pay for what you want.
