This school is better than any salon I’ve ever been to in Boston , my hair looks absolutely incredible, the service was fantastic, warm and welcoming, I felt cared for and payed less than anticipated. An absolute gem !

WARNING: DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL FOR ANY SERVICES THEY DONT FOLLOW FIRST AID AND ARE UNHYGIENIC!!!! (I paid the price at the doctors 🙁

I came in here as I had never got my nails done in my life and didn’t want to pay a huge salon price as I still want to understand what length color/ style I liked for the time being. The issue upon coming here I was told there would be nail students upon arrival I was let known there was none and that they could do gel for me. I had looked on their Facebook for their past work and had noticed they did beautiful charm work, upon request to have French tips with charms in the appointment booking I was told in the salon they couldn’t do it and in fact they bring their supplies from home and post the pictures on Facebook for publicity and it wasn’t the actual nail art they have…. The reason why this review is a one star is although the workers are nice they cross contaminated me with an open wound. The woman doing my nails cut open my cuticle so deeply it wouldn’t stop bleeding instead of applying pressure she simply pit alcohol on it and kept working upon dipping my nails in acrylic powder my nails were still bleeding and my blood had dropped onto the powder and she PIT IT BACK INTO TJE CONTAINER FOR FUTURE USE. I ended up getting a nail infection and having to go to the clinic to get antibiotics. I wouldn’t trust a school or any of the students who graduated if the hygiene practices were so bad as both a healthcare provider and someone who used to be around cosmetology constantly this place is nothing but a red flag they can only
handle straight hair and gave me the most mediocre blowout, a severe nail infection, and gaslighted me when I did not like both the hair and nails AND had to pay extra. Save yourself the hospital bills and NEVER go to this school to save a petty penny. There’s a reason no one books here. This is how you get a severe disease cross contamination of blood is not something to take lightly.

OH MY GOODNESS ELMA!!!!!

Where do I even start? Let me start off with saying SHE SAVED MY WEDDING!!!!!

I went to Oxigen J. in Orient Heights and got my hair and makeup done by Lina. I was very unsatisfied with Lina's make-up service to say the least. (Go read my review in Yelp for more details)

For my wedding I was pushing my mom to go to a hair salon, like me, for her hair and make-up. She wanted the cheap way out and decided to go with East Boston Beauty Academy. When she called she was hooked up with Elma.

Elma went to my home in Revere, on a Saturday, and did my mom's hair and make-up. My mom looked so amazing!! She said when she looked in the mirror she couldn't believe how beautiful she looked. My mom's hair & make-up came out so beautiful. Her favorite part was that Elma made her nose look thinner and pointer. (My mom has a really wide nose. lol)

I came home from the Salon and almost cried at how beautiful my mom looked. Elma very politely told me I looked very beautiful and offered to put fake lashes on for me. (Lina at Oxigeno J. said I didn't need lashes) Elma was shocked that I had no lashes on and said for my wedding I really should have them.

So I sat down for what I thought was only going to be lashes. I noticed Elma was doing more than lashes and I'm not going to lie I was very scared since my face was already very caked. My face was left pale and with painted eyebrows by Lina. Elma had to add highlighter, blush, and eye lashes she even brushed out my eyebrows to make them look more natural. After I looked in the mirror and I was beyond happy with her work. Elma made me look like a princess. I regret not doing everything with her to begin with. She even helped me get dressed!!!! I will forever be grateful for Elma you have no idea. Thanks to her my mom and I were beautiful on my wedding day. Everyone complimented my make up and I made sure to tell them that it was all THANKS TO ELMA!!!!!! I wish there was more I can do then just write a review so if you have any ideas send them my way!

If you need hair and make-up for an event call/go to East Boston Beauty Academy and ask for Elma. Hopefully when she graduates the school is willing to share her location or number because she truly is the best! She's the sweetest person I've met!

ELMA GRACIAS POR TODO!!!!!! Me salvo mi boda y gracias a usted me sentí como una princesa!!!

The people here are so nice!! I came with my class and we all got free makeovers, and everyone was so kind and patient with us. The atmosphere is also lovely, so if you are ever in East Boston and need a makeover, this is the place to go.
