I attended Josef's 2009-2010! Josef's gave us the skills, the mindset and the experience we needed as well as the creative outlets to be successful hairstylists behind the chair. I have been working as a cosmetologist since leaving school and have owned my own salon for the past three years! Mr. Joseph Oliveri is a legend and there is no better hair school out there than Josef's!

I went in for my usual hair cut. I have color-treated hair so I asked my cosmetologist not to use heat with my hair, wash with cold water etc. So, she washed and cut my hair just fine... she asked me how I styled my hair and I told her I prefer as much volume as possible but then she pulled out a flat-iron and told me the instructor told her to straighten my hair. I was hesitant but agreed if she added a heat protectant. So she flattened my my hair, I assumed she would add volume after, but she asked me how I liked it, as if she was finished styling. My color was ruined by the heat from the flat-iron, and I had told her I preferred my hair volulumized so I was very confused that she thought squishing my hair was even an option. I told her I didn't like my hair straightened and she got very upset and defensive with me. This made me upset as I've never had a problem with the cosmetologists at this location before. The whole experience was very distressing and now I have to reapply color to my hair.

My boyfriend went in today to get his hair cut and we are severely dissappointed in the results. They did not do what he asked and in turn cut off most of his hair and left us completely dissatisfied. We will never be going back or referring anyone else.

The staff and students at Josef's are all incredibly kind and very friendly. I got my hair coloured a few weeks ago, it looked, and still looks, fantastic. The girl who did my hair was sweet and I had a lot of fun talking to her as she did my hair. It took a little longer than I was expecting, but it was a great experience overall.

I used to be a student here and learned a lot while here, the education was good however the business side of things has been horrible. They didn't file my financial aid and didn't realize until I graduated. Now I continue to pay the loan I got through them but they will not send any balance. I am now trying to get my transcripts sent for college and have been calling and emailing for over 6 months and have only gotten a text response that they sent them in yet it has now been 2 months and the school has not received. Their filing system is in boxes down in the basement not on a computer. I'm not sure how they can stay open when they can't seem to manage the business side of things.
