Thank you Timeya, it is so wonderful to get 5 stars for Tatianna and our educators. I appreciate your comments and your support for our students and for our educators. I look forward to seeing you once again and return to experience continuing facials.
Thank you very much. John Amico.
I have just learned about this treasure of a place one year ago. Each and every time I have been to John Amico Niles, it has been the best experience for hair cuts, blow dry, styling, and keratin (thank you Maria S—you are the absolute best)! I also took my niece there this past week and Victoria did an exceptional job—great haircut and keratin treatment. My niece and I were so very pleased with the results. The school’s director, Mr Jesse and the lead instructor, Ms Bee are both terrific, talented, and extremely helpful!!!! From the moment you are greeted at the front desk to all of the time in between, the staff and students are gracious and are extraordinary professionals. One giant thank you!!🙏
My hairdresser, Veola, was great. I had a full hair coloring. She took her time explaining everything. Good personality. Price is inexpensive. Everyone was great, helpful. I'll will be back there again.

Thank You Diane for you comments on Veola. It is wonderful to have our students service our client and care for them. We look forward to your visiting us again.
This place is an amazing place for gaining insight, knowledge and understanding about cosmetology. Ms Bridgette motivated me to get the cosmetology education and she has the ability to impart her skills in a professional manner. Ms Darlene is a greatly experienced cosmetology educator, Mrs E is a skilled cosmetology educator as well, and Mr Jesse goes above and beyond to keep the school in order. Thank you John Amico Teachers and team.
I just want to send a shoutout out to my amazing teacher Ms.Bridget I would have not made it as far as I did without her. She truly has a heart of gold. Ms. Bridget has taught me so many things and is very knowledgeable especially when it comes to her theory. She is very patient and caring when it comes to her students, always making sure that we throughly understand everything that is being taught to us. Thank you Ms. Bridget for everything! I will truly miss you when I graduate. ♥️
I was very happy today with my hair highlights and wanted to give credit to Stephanie for being my hair stylist as Inez that helped blow dry my hair. I want to state the obvious girls help each other out. Teacher Ms Bridget was very easy going and balances girls and they seem to do really well with this way. Thank you also to Katie as she was next chair and offered help ! Have a wonderful fall! You did great and made my hair real pretty!🤩
I got a haircut a few weeks ago from a trusted salon and walked out with a botched cut. It was extremely choppy, uneven, and was lacking any consistent depth. I was very disappointed and nervous about where I could go to fix it. Niles school has always been a very nostalgic spot for me so I wanted to give it a chance if they could help fix my hair. Donna, the school educator, was very responsive when I voiced my concerns from the previous cut. Inez worked on fixing my hair up with the help of Donna and together they were able to blend my hair back together into a beautiful, well rounded layered haircut. I walked out with my confidence back! Grateful for my stylist taking on this task and delivering even better results than the first time- highly recommend!
