Great beauty treatments for less!

by Allisa

The Career Academy of Beauty is a great beauty school where all the services are preformed by students. They get practice and you get great beauty treatments without those hefty salon prices. And if you're looking for a fun haircut, CAofB student Lizette is awesome!

Pros: Helping beauty students learn and practice at cheaper prices

Glowing skin

by facialjunkie

I went to Career Academy of Beauty in Garden Grove for a Vitamin C facial. My skin is still glowing ask for Lumi.
I was a previous student at this beauty school back in 20002 and I continue to have my facials done there. For the price your getting a high end spa facial for 80% less than what a spa would charge and these girls are not in a hurry.

Pros: excellent service

Overall Marvelous

by atchley82

I went to this school for a weave and a cut, and usually am very picky about who touches my hair, but a coworker or mine insisted that she wanted to do my hair...so with reluctance I went...and with great surprise walked out with a great overall color instead of highlights which would have damaged my already paperthin hair, and a very age appropriate haricut...my student stylist is Marie and she showed great professionalism as well as the ability to keep her clients entertained and happy. 5 gold stars for my nite favorite student...will definitely recommend Marie to friends and family.

Pros: Great Student Stylists

Quality Work at Reasonable Prices

by Career Academy of Beauty

Natalie took the time to figure out my color and since someone had lost my card decided that I should add something to the color. I got great results and my color is fabulous. I've been going there since 1999, I think, and most of the students have been VERY good. I was really impressed with Natalie this time!!!

Pros: Best tint touch up

Great Beauty School - Like a real salon but Inexpensive

by GeorgieGirl

I have been going to Career Academy of Beauty for about 10 years now. I started going there because of the high standards in hygiene. First nails, then facials and then hair. I have had almost every kind of service at this beauty school and now take my teenage daughter. I always recommend it. All the students that have given me services there are really good at what they do and are always nice and friendly - especially Martha and Michelle (who work at the front desk). I have had such great hair cuts and highlight services that people have asked me where I get me hair done. My daughter just had a Brazilian Blowout Hair treatment. It looks fabulous and feels great. Mandy and Lorena did a great job. I'm having it done on my hair next week with the same ladies. On top of it all - the services at the school are very affordable! I highly recommend this school as a salon.

Pros: Great work done in all areas - like Pros

Cons: None

Beauty Services

by JoanieT

This is a beauty school with all services done by the students. I recently had a hair touch up and am very satisfied at the attention they gave.
Also had a Vitamin C Facial and my eyebrows shaped at a prior visit. I've tried several of their services and can honestly say that they give excellent services overall.
My sister started using them years ago and convinced me to give them a try. I've been their patron ever since.

Pros: Great attention to detail

Love CAofB!

by ksteiner310

After losing my job and searching multiple schools that did not help me one bit, I was beginning to feel a bit hopeless. My friend recommended giving CAofB a shot, so I immediately set up my appointment to check out the school. After a brief meeting and tour, I was starting to think maybe something good could actually come out of this. Im 21 years old with no job, no parental assistance, no credit, and CAofB made it work for me. I have now been enrolled for almost a month, and I have never been so happy and proud of myself before. CAofB really works with your schedule, and offer a few different schedules to fit the needs of practically anyone. The prices are extremely reasonable, and the staff go out of their way to assist you and make it happen. Without CAofB, I honestly do not know where I would be right now. I am so thankful to have found the school and some really great friends as well!

I go once a week aqnd treat myself!

by Anastacia 2

I love getting a facial I can afford! Student Dae loves what she does, you can feel her passion during the treatment. Her night instructor Ms Christina is wonderful and she cares about each client and student.

On the hair side of things Ms Kathy and Ms Tina have years of experience to share with their students when it comes to consultations. Mr Perez enjoys his work and takes interest in his students progress. I get my hair highlights done here and have never been disappoint, my weekly trip is for a shampoo and style, I feel fresh for the weekend.

Student Janet really knows how to straighten with a nice back comb to fluff up my heavy hair. Natalie takes over on days I want lots of curls and when I need a mood change I ask for Molly, she has a great positive attitude.

Bottom line, I love this place! I can afford to change my look and feel better on a weekly basis!

Pros: open both days and nights, fun to watch new trends

Cons: it gets hectic in the morning when they first open

Amazing Place!

by hapybirthdaygrl

At Career Academy of Beauty, it doent feel like a beauty school it feels like a salon. its the same effect but better. You know your helping a student reach goals and also giving them some practice. Everytime I go in I never wait more than 5 minutes. The services are so wonderful. The way you look and feel when you come out is unbeliable for what you paid. Its almost as if it's a steal. All of the students are unique and fun. So sweet to everyone. I would have to say without playing favorites. I love Delaney. She always does exactly what I say nad she tells me the truth what is good. I truly am thankful for her. If you go here to get a service, you will not be disappinted! I Love Career Academy of Beauty!

Pros: Great Work at Great Prices

Cons: There are too many stylists to choose from there all good!

a big fan for years.

by ablaul

Large heads of hair no problem. Cowlick, a gray patch resistant to colour dye or you just wanna change up you looks. the instructors overseeing the students leave you looking just as good as any other high end salon. Cut color weave reverse or otherwise normally goes 120. to 160. Ca of Beauty out the door less than 40 dollars. the school is loud with music and the students are all experimenting with their own hair so its quite the scene. facials (they use dermalogica) waxings, been going there since 94.

Pros: salon results at beauty school prices

Cons: may have to wait a little bit

Bargain Prices and Excellent Beauty Care!

by Happy Hair

After comparing the quality and prices of services
to the "fancy" salons there remains no doubt
that the Career Academy of Beauty is a great
bargain. I have saved hundreds of dollars
in recent years by having my hair done at
the Career Academy of Beauty.
The quality of service is just as good as that of the
high priced salons where I formerly wasted my money.
Martha is very kind, caring and knowledgeable about
recommending the appropriate products and services
for your particular hair style and condition.
Mr. Alfred, who used to do Marilyn Monroe's hair, is an excellent instructor and hair stylist
who is always patient and willing to share his expertise with any student who needs help with a haircut or hair color.
If you want to save a bundle of money and get quality
hair and beauty care, then the Career Academy of Beauty on Valley View is the place to go!

Pros: Best prices for haircuts and hair color

Cons: none

A Great Place - I Always Feel and Look 100 percent Better

by RCM100

First off they remembered my name when I walked in. After a friendly greeting I was whisked off by student for a color and cut. There is always friendly conservstion and professional service. The teacher stoped by to say hellow and inspect the students work. They take time to do the little things to make great color and cut just perfect. You will feel and look 100 percent better. That is enough turn any grump into a face with a giant smile.

Pros: Great location and beautiful interior

And I think all the new up dates to the school itself is great especially the windows. Tipping big is a pleasure because these students work very hard, thank you staff and students.

The Career Academy of Beauty is the best beauty school in Orange County. Crystal was my stylist and she was professional, personable and knowledgeable. Going to this beauty school not only do you have the stylist but you have a professor looking over their shoulder at all times . . . you can't go wrong.

It is so affordable and the staff is professional.
