Glitz School of Cosmetology, Inc.

Fantastic experience: Saved my life

Fantastic experience: My basic facial ($18) with Aundria was great! Very relaxing and my skin feels and looks flawless!

Fantastic experience: Got my nails done today by Julie and she was very professional and kind. I loved my gnome designs and I loved how great my nails came out. Overall, experience was amazing and I would recommend Julie she did a very great job!

Fantastic experience: Got my nails done for my birthday, and brought my daughter along for the fun. We got matching holiday nails and LOVE them. Jules did my nails, and she's FANTASTIC. From start to end she was amazing and so fun. Alizandra painted my daughters nails, and again, she was fantastic also. She was able to combat wiggly fingers even with a design and she was very nice with my daughter. My daughter has already asked if we can go back and have them do our nails again soon, which will probably happen because I've never had so much fun getting my nails done before. Props to Jules and Alizandra who made my birthday and lil spa date with my mini me so much fun

Fantastic experience: If needing a haircut please go see Irma Medina she does an awesome job

Fantastic experience: Will come for my next hair cut

Fantastic experience: Guidance was not present during students performance but the cut is really good

Fantastic experience: I’m a general laborer who went in with a lot of knots but jalane was a lot of help very cooperative helped and tried her best not to hurt me I am skinny lol but she got out majority of the knots as best she could I recommend seeing her as I plan on again soon

Fantastic experience: Thank you Genevieve!!

Fantastic experience: Genevieve was courteous and profession. My upper back needed extra attention and she listened. I will be back. Thank you for great service!

Fantastic experience: I've had 2 massages recently with Yadhira at the Glitz School of Massage and she does a wonderful job. I highly recommend her and plan to request her for future massages.

Fantastic experience: They r so nice and the prices r great

Negative experience: I do not recommend this school, after the encounter I experienced with the owner. I applied to the school in August or September of 2023 regarding the esthetics program. I had everything in order and "was all set to start in October"-- which was incorrect. The owner mentioned the esthetics program was starting in the New Year because construction was taking longer than anticipated. I asked about my 100$ application fee, and if I would need to apply for FASFA again-- She said no, the application fee will be held for the new year. Since it is the new year, I figured I would reach out to the school and was given unfortunate news. The owner mentioned I would have to pay a new 100$ application fee and it's something she has no control over. After I mentioned I would right a review regarding this situation she said, "I don't like starting relations this way-- I was going to offer an alternative solution but after threatening to right a negative review, like I said, I don't like starting relations this way"... NEWS FLASH, no one likes starting any kind of relations this way. Need I mention, the "alternative solution" was only mentioned after I said I was a going to right a review. Now I'm down 100$ (which the owner mentioned, there was nothing she could do about it) for an application fee, for a program that was not running until the January 2024. Super disappointed with this new School in Santa Fe, NM.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend glitz school of massage. I went in there with knots on my back & on my shoulders, feeling stressed and by the time Max Wilson finished my massage ,I was so relaxed I highly recommend Max and glitz School of massage. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: This massage was exceptional! The service was excellent, the atmosphere was professional and very calming! I will be a Glitz client forever and recommend them highly!

Positive experience: Best price for a PMU (permanent cosmetics) course in new mexico: $2,700 for one area + $1,000 for additional areas. Other schools/trainers in New Mexico are charging up to $13,000 for the same thing. They also have you complete two+ supervised services start to finish, which is great to build confidence in cosmetic tattooing!

Fantastic experience: I'm very happy and pleased with Mrs.Selene, the PMA training was awesome thank you!!!!

Positive experience: I was disappointed when the screws fell out of the shampoo chair, it collapsed to the floor w/me in it. The student was going to shampoo my hair and ignore it. I picked up the screws as I got up off the floor. They made a report and comped the service apparently they think that's ENOUGH. No one bothered to call and check on me so I'm going to report this to the BBB and the NM Insurance Commissioner. So if you go be careful check the equipment because they certainly don't....

Fantastic experience: I went for the 1st time. I went for eye lash extension. Tori did an awesome job. She was gentle and very personal. I am very pleased. I saw many returning pleased customers . I am glad I went ther and I will return with tori.

Fantastic experience: Leila pino is the best!!! Everyone is so sweet and caring!!! Definitely will be back!

Positive experience: Rachel did a great job with my eyelash fill. She is also very kind.

Fantastic experience: Nice people. Very professional. I was very satisfied with my haircut by Amber!!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, staff and students are awesome. Highly recommended.

Negative experience: Horrible experience. Currently attending rust leaking from nearly every room in the building. Any time it rains longer than 30minutes the school has to be closed due to leaking. Multiple teachers have quit mid semester for lack of proper equipment, coordination and (hearsay) lack of classroom funding for students, causing more classes to be jammed together not allowing senior students their one on one with the teachers needed. Teachers are now complaining of having too many students to keep track of. 20 students max to 1 teacher on saturdays may be 30 students may be under 1 teacher on Saturday’s. They constantly put their lack of planning on the students shoulders and completely blame us as “we are paying for the program”. Can not get in to see admin even after sending emails and having my case worker call the school. The breaking point is that this school is federally funded!

Negative experience: NEVERRRR think about going to this "school" all what they want is to get $, they charge for everything, if you miss a day they charge, if you don't clock in they charge, if you don't make enough hours to graduate they charge you $250 plus when you miss and you send them excuse thru email they never answer you to have their excuse to charge you $25. It's a BIG MISTAKE get registered at this institution, I can't call it school.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! Amazing

Fantastic experience: My daughter and granddaughter were a part of the Glitz Glam family as a cosmologists and studying esthetician I have had nothing less than positive experiences. From cuts to color, highlights lowlights facials the staff and students are always pleasant. They also have new staff, recruiters to assist with the daunting enrollment process and financial aid that will make it a breeze. I highly recommend Glitz. Go check it out and also inquire about on going classes today!

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and welcoming environment!

Negative experience: Very disappointed that my appointment was canceled and they couldn't even call me to notify. My appointment was made a week out with plenty of time for someone to call and reschedule. I'm very disappointed with the lack of respect for clients schedules.

Fantastic experience: I've been bringing my son here for 2yrs now and never had a bad experience he's so comfortable with the guys now he likes his haircuts and with such easy prices he can always stay fresh

Negative experience: 5/9/22THE WORST! EXPLAINED 3X TO RECEPTIONIST, OVERSEER, AND "STUDENT"... SHAVE (UNDERCUT )BACK OF NECK TO SKIN, TRIM SIDE BURNS AND EARS. Student turned chair away from mirror during cut, I got side glance at her using comb and clippers on sides,THEN NOTICED SHE HAD SHAVED NAKED ABOVE EARS AND UP TO FOREHEAD....SINCE WHEN DO SIDEBURNS CUT 4" INSIDE HAIRLINE AND WHAT PART OF TRIM MEANS SHAVED. I'm 62 years old and had cut my hair myself forever. Sadly arthritis had me chance someone else. I WILL NEVER TRUST ANYONE AGAIN....BTW...WHAT COULD ANYONE DO TO MAKE THIS BETTER (free cut...FML)....IM THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS TO LOOK AT THIS DISASTER DAILY UNTIL GROW OUT...wish I could post pix

Fantastic experience: Students working under professionals, so cheap prices. Got my beard trimmed and shaped by Zeb, nice work

Positive experience: Great service by the students

Fantastic experience: Wonderful service. I have had a mani, nails, pedi, eyebrows dyed there. Pleasant experience each visit ☺️

Fantastic experience: As a recent graduate of Glitz Cosmetology School, I must say I am very happy that I chose to attend this establishment. I drove from Alamogordo to Las Cruces everyday and the learning I received made it well worth it. Once the pandemic hit and the classes resumed via zoom, my instructors were very patient and offered me the time I needed in order for me to gain the skills I desired. The constant State Board practice sessions also gave me the confidence and knowledge I needed to pass both of my exams. I am thankful to Mary Ann and all of my instructors for the education, time and tools I received in order for me to be successful in my career.

Fantastic experience: I always go to Glitz, they have never disappointed me. Got a razor fade, shave and a trim eyebrows. The student was professional and efficient at all tasks.

Fantastic experience: Extremely friendly, professional behavior from both students & instructor. Plus a great hair cut.

Fantastic experience: I went to Glitz School of Cosmotology for the first time recently. Christina did an amazing job on my pedi! She was so sweet and caring! I enjoyed her so much and would highly recommend her if you would like your nails done. I definitely will be requesting Christina to do my nails when I return to Glitz!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this school. The barbers always do a great job on my son's hair. It's the only place I take him too. Everyone's always super nice. Was even able to get a quick trim as he was getting his hair cut. Be sure to get the punch card, been coming over a year and just found out about it.

Fantastic experience: Went today and had a good experience. My Kiddos loved their hair cut. Very professional. Highly recommend

Negative experience: We had a standing appointment for today at 1pm (made last week to extend to the end of August) but upon arrival was told no appointments for today due to free haircuts. While I admire the community service the lack of communication for a regular customer just list them 2 customers. We've been using them for 3 years.

Fantastic experience: I had a microdermabrasion facial and a hydration mask with Geneva yesterday. She was super personable and very professional. I have been to a lot of Esthetician’s and and I felt like the quality of care , product and professionalism was top notch.?? Thank You, Geneva for a terrific all around experience!

Fantastic experience: I always go to Glitz because it’s a good price and I always feel very chill there. I went short on my hair for the first time in several years so I was a little nervous but Darak took his time and was attentive to detail and it came out way better than I even thought it would be! Then Nichole blew it dry and styled it and didn’t even charge me but made it look even more awesome!! I usually have a good experience but this was the best!! I can tell they both enjoy their job and we’re very friendly but professional. Thank you so much!!!

Fantastic experience: Very professional and nice.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome you can get your nails done hair cut anything you need to make you good. The prices aren't bad either good job students.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so very nice and eager to assist. I will be back and recommend to everyone

Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff. And the students are very sweet, excited to learn and do a great job for a great price. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great place!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I went for a face wax and was pleasantly surprised. Great job, Cheyenne! Thanks!

Positive experience: Took my daughter yesterday for a mani/pedi...... The 2 ladies we had were awesome!!! They were attentive. They were friendly and offered great conversation!! Only downside, my daughter's gel mani didn't even last a day.... We will be back.... I'll get get her a regular mani next time

Positive experience: I had a pedicure and a manicure.

Fantastic experience: Great place! I love my haircut, thank you Eli! I'll definitely be going back to use other services.

Positive experience: I took my teens for cuts, one has fine, straight hair and the other has thick, curly hair. They did a really good job with my straight haired one. But they do not know how to handle curly hair! They used a brush and fine tooth comb on dry curls and didn't use any moisturizing products. When it was brought up to the instructor, she gave my kid a blank look and said "Okay?"

Fantastic experience: Love the staff and students here. I've had my hair colored twice and loved it!

Fantastic experience: Loved the facial! Melanie is amazing!

Fantastic experience: Have always received great services at Glitz. The student practitioners seem eager to learn and are friendly and pleasant. Appears to be a happy environment. Instructors are always available if there are questions

Fantastic experience: I enjoy the whole experience

Fantastic experience: Great inexpensive fade for my son

Positive experience: Very welcoming

Fantastic experience: Best cuts and more

Positive experience: Got a shampoo, blow dry and haircut for under ,s10!! Realy nice tech and great service!! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Lovely time the whole family got done together

Fantastic experience: I went in not knowing what to expect. But it was nice environment and the student that observed Gil cut my hair and trim my beard was eager to learn. Gil done an outstanding job!!

Negative experience: To the owner of glitz I was a customer of yours yesterday and I had a really bad experience I went in for highlights and I ended up getting my whole head bleached. The bleach was left on my head from what's 3 hours. I am well aware that you have cameras there so I would love for you to review the time that I was there I was there from 10:30am to 5 p.m.My name is Rachel Silva and I can email you pictures of the results I even had to go back today and I got more processes done and it just damaged my hair even more. I can send you the pictures if you just give me your email address because I wasn't getting anywhere when it came to complaining or to talk me to management about what happened. When I asked to speak to the owner they directed me to a manager who said that they were unable to give me a refund even though the student was not being supervised. Not to mention that I paid $100 to get my hair done.I ended up leaving there today with the same exact hair color I went in withafter having to put a demi on my hair because my hair was so damaged!!

Negative experience: Lmao, this school is a joke. Maryanne, how can I attend school if I had bronchitis which then turned into pneumonia. Would you have liked for me to have come in besides the fact that I couldn’t even get up out of bed without not being able to breath? Just shows just how much y’all care about your students health. I emailed everyday saying that I still was sick and MARIA emailed me back saying it’s okay, just feel better. So why lie to me if it really wasn’t okay? All you guys want is money money money. At least at vista they actually care about their students, which is a lot more than what I can say about your “school”

Positive experience: I've been going to Glitz on and off for about four years. They have good prices and friendly technicians. I come from out of town to visit family and Glitz is the place I go for a little pampering. Honestly my only critique is that they need to work on their front desk and phone customer service. When I called to make an appointment, the individual who answered the phone did not thank me or ask me if I wanted to schedule additional appointments aside from my pedicure, manicure and brow wax. When. I arrived, the lady at the front desk was not very friendly and curtly told me I would need to wait. I was half an hour early, which I acknowledged. I did not expect to be take back right away. The young lady who did my nails was very friendly and made sure that I was happy with the job she did. She even had a instructor double check her work. The young lady who did my eye brows was also very good. When I paid, the same girl who checked me in tooky payment. She did not ask if I needed anything else or thank me for my business. When I paused, unsure if I needed to do anything, aside from sign the receipt, she curtly told me I could go. Long story short, front desk and phone manners could be improved upon. Otherwise, a good place to go if you want a nice mani-pedi for a economical price.

Fantastic experience: Muy Buena escuela

Fantastic experience: Reading reviews from bitter students is laughable considering they have a choice where to get their education. And from any "scorn" clients, it's a SCHOOL! Either way, I'm a proud Glitz graduate! As with anything, you get out what you put in. No one is there to hold your hand but they are all there to guide you. The teachers are amazing and the owners MaryAnn & Oscar treat everyone like family. They're respectful and do all they can to support you through your time there. I still occasionally go back to visit because I enjoyed the environment so much while being there. If you're going to go in as a client and are scared, request a senior student. I don't regret the time I spent there cause they properly prepared me for my career! This is an amazing school and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a career in beauty.

Fantastic experience: I am a student at Glitz and i am truly blessed and thank god everyday for giving me the opportunity to attend this school and to have met all this wonderful people owners and instructors and students of course no one is perfect in any way any school or anyplace we might end up at for whatever reason it all depends on what we all make out of what we have and more importantly out attitudes of how we see everything but for me being a student at Glitz has changed my life in a very positive way I Have learned a lot so far from all my instructors thank all of you so much and God bless you today and always

Fantastic experience: I get my nails done by Emily and she gets them perfect every time. The owner is very friendly and makes sure you enjoy your service. The staff is knowledgeable and really helps the students to provide quality services.

Negative experience: I got my eyebrows done and the lady took off a big chunk of one of my eyebrows. She said she felt bad and she tried to fix it by applying makeup on it. This was unbelievable and i came home later and cried due to the embarrassment I now have to face! (Edit) I got mine waxed.

Fantastic experience: This is a good school owners ,staff and students have all been great friendly and professional! I have personally gotten a facial with Norma and Ashlynn and they both did an amazing job both knowledgeable and very kind I would recommend them for facial! Maryann the owner has always gone out of her way to great me and make sure things are good something you won’t see at other schools.

Fantastic experience: school is amazing teaches you so much more then any of the other cosmetology school in Las Cruces staff and instructors are friendly and caring prices are amazing for students to learn all around amazing school and one of my best choice I made!

Fantastic experience: Where do I start im a graduate student this people are amazing ( owners Oscar and Mary ann and her entired family) they really care about each of one of the people who come.to this school they really want the best for all of us the instructors are excellent people with amazing knowledge when in other schools they teach u the basic to pass the state board exam and if u want to learn more stuff u have to pay to get in that, this school is way beyond that each deparment has the best instructors they get training to teach more than just the required state board what ever u ask to learn they will teach u we practice every day "practice makes perfect" its not only theory its book and hands on which I think its amazing they prepare u to go to the real world we get business classes the owners are always around to check everything its ok we have cameras in the building because they r all about makes us feel secure its been people who took something that doesnt belong to them and the cameras help to keep the integrity of the place its awful to be in a place that u dont feel secure i was never black mail i was here a year in a half cause my time they work with u in every way to make u be successful out there i recommend 10000% this school and this people that work here they r humble and ready to get the best out of you the services are done by students and we r very on top of sanitation thats a main thing plus customer service u can get with the owners anytime they offer you support in any situation they take the time.to know u i love this people they make you part of their family you r not numbers for them my family and i are very grateful to be part of this legacy they are always thinking in how to invest to makes us have the best time in the school thinking of getting a day care for the ones who have kids and rooms for people that come from far to not have to be traveling back and forward we had many students that come from deming alamogordo silver city etc they r always thinking in our safety its like we r all their children so please come to get services here cause u will help all the students to perfectionate their skills come.to study here cause this will be your second home they offer financial aid and many more ways to help u succed when i start i got together with mary ann and she was so nice and at that time they still were not approved for financial aid and i received a scholarship that let me enrolled to the school now im a license cosmetologist thanks to the support of Mrs. Glitz and Mr. Glitz thank u so much

Negative experience: Customer service is super rude especially from one of the instructors. Very unprepared and unprofessional, I went in to get my hair and make up done for a photoshoot and although I understand the students are in training I never expected them to be this bad! It was so bad I canceled my photoshoot. Sad thing is I usually go to Olympian where in my opinion they are taught better, they at least know how to give me beach wavy curls!!!

Positive experience: I got my eyebrows tinted Friday (4/12/19) the girl was nice and the work was okay for being done by a student. I didn't like that not one instructor came and checked the work. So I guess they aren't being supervised by instructors. While I was getting my eyebrows done I could hear the other girls cussing, very unprofessional. **EDIT*** thank you for responding I wasn't aware Diana was an instructor. Yes I understand it gets crazy and appreciate Diana explaining the difference to me. I was also unaware about the way supervision works in your school so thank you for letting me know. I will be back again.

Negative experience: Horrible customer service lady’s in front are rude. The person who did my nails took 3 hours on them started at 4 didn’t get out until 7:30pm also i still had to get my pedi done and the lady that did them was amazing but nail techs need better attitudes he was pulling my hand and was already frustrated and took it out on me!! I wasn’t satisfied with my nails at all!!!! ask if they could fix them the instructor told me there’s nothing that could be done! Practically blamed me for them coming out the way they did. And still had to pay full price on them!! NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN!

Fantastic experience: Miranda was great!! She's earned a customer for life. Thanks Miranda and Glitz!!! Great service

Fantastic experience: I just love being part of the Glitz Family!! Been nothing but a great experience here!!

Negative experience: Seemed like very nice ladies. Good service, EXCEPT a couple weeks after my daughter's pedi, keep in mind we did not take the polish off at all we just let it come off on its own, her toe nail was turning yellow, assumed it was from the yellow nail polish she picked... a few more weeks later it started turning a darker yellow/tan color... couple weeks after that she started LOSING her toe nail from the back of the nail bed. This has never happened to me in my lifetime or my daughter so I had no idea why that was happenening. Turns out it's a fungus from dirty tools used on her feet! Now my daughter lost her whole toe nail because of it. I tried calling Glitz to let them know but no one ever answers the phone so I had no choice but to leave this comment. Glitz, you NEED to make sure the girls are disinfecting ALL tools! This was out first time there and now probably our last. I tried calling again after Mary Ann's reply. NO ANSWER! I can not go in anytime this week due to work then daughter's practice after. Even if you used clean and or NEW tools on my daughter her feet were still soaked in the sink, her nails were cut. Somehow a fungus got into her nail. I can not think of anywhere else she could have got it from. Also, there is a first time for everything. You have new students all the time, that same one hasn't been there for the lifetime of glitz. All I'm saying is to please make sure this doesn't happen again.

Positive experience: People are nice, the prices are great, and If you need a haircut go see Gabe.

Fantastic experience: Me and my fiance came in for the first time and we were so pleased! Everybody made us feel so comfortable and welcomed! Well we found our hair and nail place!

Fantastic experience: Very prompt and courteous service. I had a full set and pedi done. Very reasonably priced. I had a great experience. I will be back.

Negative experience: Tip#1 leave more pics of your work and less of your studio. Tip #2 your portfolio sells your work for you

Positive experience: Never have to wait long & everyone is friendly!

Negative experience: I could learn more on google and YouTube than this place!!! Waste of time and money

Fantastic experience: Great service very clean! Was greeted as soon as I walked in the door and did not have to wait! staff was very friendly and welcoming students were sweet and professional it did not feel like a school!
