I visited in May, 2023. This was the old location of MN School of Cosmetology. I loved their services, their prices and the general vibe of the place. This place has since changed its name to Nova Academy, jacked their prices to nearly double what they were at MSC, and no longer honor MSC gift cards. I'm just out the money. Same people here as before. Just erased old records, changed the name and raised prices. Nova is "ok", I just didn't appreciate losing my stored value gc without notice. Vibe is different, and my hair was ok, but not the WOW I used to get with MSC. 💔

I had the signature facial with Grace and am VERY happy with the results and the service. I highly recommend Grace if you’re in need of a facial or eyelash extensions or lash/brow tint or a body wrap or a back facial… She’s fabulous!

I had Grace do my lash refill, & Molly as the instructor supervise. Grace was amazing & you can tell she knew what she was doing. I was just sad they didn't have fan lashes, instead they had single classic lashes. But Grace went above & beyond to make sure the classic lashes blended in with what I had originally on my lashes already. I would recommend if you need refills. Would love it more if they had more lash options.

Wow…Love this place. Mallory is amazing. I love my new cut. Got rid of 5 inches and she also did a half foil and toner. Out of all the times I’ve foiled my hair this is the best job I have ever seen. It is soooo natural looking. Mallory is very sweet and knowledgeable. The instructors are really nice and want their students to do well. Shout out to Mallory!!!! Thank you!
