I’ve been coming to Palomar Institute of Cosmetology for about one year now. I started in 2008 at the Oceanside College of Beauty when my daughter suggested I needed to do something for myself because I was in a dark, dark time, so I did, and I have been happy ever since. I come in once a week, and I get a pampering. I have had facials done that were wonderful. I’ve had pedicures done, manicures, and the students are delightful. I enjoy the atmosphere, and the only sad part is they eventually graduate and move on to careers, but that’s sad because I hate seeing them go. It’s a great experience, and it’s a decision I made many years ago that I truly, truly think is one of the best things I ever decided to do.

Hi, my name is Shirley Smith, and I’ve been coming to this school for nine years. I always have a great experience here. It’s really fun, and I love their shampoo sets, their bleaching, and all of the teachers and the students are really fun. It’s a great place to come to.

Hi, my name is Stella. I want to start by saying that I started at the Oceanside College of Beauty several years ago, but the reason why I am here is because I followed the staff over. The staff, the students, the guest receptionist at the front counter, Ms. Kathy, have been amazing. They’ve always made me feel warm and welcomed. I’ve had the opportunity to observe the instructors engage with their students and their clients, and I just admire how everyone interacts so well together. Their ultimate goal is to make sure that we the client achieve the goal we are striving for. I always feel beautiful when I leave here, and it’s not just because of the fabulous work they do on my hair, it’s because they seem like they’re family here and I love being a part of that, and I don’t think I’ll go anywhere else.

Hi, I’m Jeanne Meadows, and I live in La Costa. I’ve lived here for almost thirty-five years and I have been coming to Palomar Institute of Cosmetology for close to twenty-five years. Probably as long as it’s been open, and I have yet to find a hairstylist, esthetician, staff, or anyone to have a complaint about. I only get my beauty treatments here, and I love it and recommend this facility to people on Nextdoor, or any place I go to and I get a chance to compliment and refer others to come here. You get more for your money and top-notch education, products, and everything you can ask for, so I think it’s a win-win, and I just love it.
