Capri College — Local services in Cedar Rapids

I wish that I was writing a much different review. I made an appointment this morning to get my haircut. Simple enough? Nothing fancy just overdo for one. I walked into my appointment with my 4 month old daughter in a car seat. I’d like to add that there wasn’t another soul there for an appointment. I’m trying to see all sides, like if I had gone at peak time or had a wild toddler. Heck my daughter can’t even roll over yet. Anyway, upon checking in, I was turned away for services because of my daughter. Because I had nobody to watch her for my haircut. There was a lovely student standing there who offered to sit with her and the lady wouldn’t allow it. I know there is a need for rules but that seems to be an issue that the world only sees things as black and white. I am a single mom who doesn’t have someone on standby while I get a simple haircut. The worst part is the lady who delivered this news did not seem the slightest bit apologetic about it. As I walked to my car and cried, I could see the student looking out the window and you could tell she was sorry. So thank you to you for having some compassion, it was much appreciated. And I really hope this reaches someone who might take a look at their rules and sees there are special circumstances for every rule, for the next mom who comes in and just wants to feel better about herself and support another woman in...

This is based on the Capri College Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The student I had her name was Kat. She was absolutely horrible. The director told her to pay attention, and instead her eyes were everywhere but watching what the instructor was trying to show her. I wanted a partial perm done and she was only able to put 4 rods in my hair and was even struggling with those. The instructor ended up doing it. Kat was there for 3 months and still struggling with 4 perm rods isn't saying much for the instructors at all. Aren't the students suppose to practice on mannequin heads? Then I told Kat DO NOT put nothing in my hair at all when you blow dry it. She ended up putting stuff in my hair anyways and I made her wash it out with shampoo. It ticked the student off but I didn't care. On top of that I had to tell that same student the steps of how to rinse the perm. And then she forgot to blot and I had to remind her, and said I distracted her. I will never bother to do business with the Capri College in Cedar Rapids, IA again. This particular one...

Can go to a professional salon for about the same price and actually come out with what you want… came in to get my hair lighter with a shadow root and came out with looking like I went to Walmart and purchased a box of brown hair dye and saturated my entire head…! After the instructor told the student what to do, I had sent a text to a friend that my hair was going to be butchered… I wasn’t wrong. Stayed 45 minutes after close, the student had another student come over and talk to her while doing my hair which distracted her and slowed down her work. The instructor never really came over to check on the process while the student was completely distracted with the drama. Bleach sat on the back of my head for a good 3 hours. While the sides of my hair only got maybe 25 minutes to process. If that! Left with wet hair, went home and blow dried it and cried. 😑 needless to say I’ve been here many times and I’ve never left with what...
