I've been here for waxing, haircuts, and hair coloring. All my experiences have been positive and you can't beat the price. However, one of my hair cut/coloring experiences did take literally 8 hours.…

I rate this a four because my brother was trained at this school. The hair cuts are great and they have instructors to check up and off what's going on with the student (so you don't leave looking…

I was served a delicious tea upon my arrival. My stylist student was VERY knowledgeable about Aveda products, but not too pushy. She got right to checking out the status of my hair and then straight…

As far as I am concerned, one of the better places to get your hair cut. I was never one of those guys to go to a "salon" to get a haircut; I'm a guy from Brooklyn, it just didn't happen. However, I…

This was my first real salon-type haircut. I grew up getting trims by my parents and then at cheap shopping center hair cut joints and barbershops in college. Haircuts range from $14-20. Mine cost…

There aren't many places you can get a 90 minute facial for $50. It's usually a really sketchy place or some sort of school; I'm ok with a school, I'm not ok with sketch. Sometimes I think getting a…

So after a year and a half of growing hair down to the swell of my back (not pretty at all), I decided that I needed t get my haircut and stop hiding my hair through clips. I walked in and hoped to…

Do not go to school here. I was lied to. They got rich off of the students money. One example was that our kits they bought at whole sale price and then re-sold them to us at the price they sell them…

I give this place 5 stars because you simply can't get more bang for your buck. Haircuts are very inexpensive but always great, you get a scalp massage and partial shoulder massage before they even…

You can't really beat a cut and partial foil for under $100 (and using Aveda products no less). Most of the students I have had have been good (some were GREAT), and only had one "bad" experience,…
