Cheap price, but you get what you pay for - ruined my hair and wasted my time…read more I normally pay $50 for a haircut from my regular barber, but with prices going up I thought I'd try this barber college since it's only $15 and the reviews mentioned supervisors always being present. Unfortunately, my experience was a total miss. First, the atmosphere is extremely loud - blasting hip-hop the entire time, which made it hard to communicate. The place is clean and the building looks nice from the outside, but it felt chaotic. Students and people hanging around were in oversized baggy clothes, and almost none of the students had sharp, well-groomed hair themselves (only one guy had a decent self-fade). That alone made me nervous. I got assigned to a student with 250 hours who genuinely seemed clueless about basic barbering terms. I asked for a classic taper with mid-length sideburns ("halfway down the ear"). He asked me about sideburns, I repeated "midpoint," and he immediately shaved them completely off and gave me fenders. Couldn't follow simple verbal instructions at all. He also didn't know what split ends were when I pointed them out. Multiple times he had to go find the supervisor, who was nowhere on the floor. We waited 5-10 minutes each time before the instructor finally appeared. The students seem to only know one style: high or mid fade finished with a hard razor lineup. If you want anything more traditional or natural (taper, no lineup, softer look), you're out of luck. I get that it's a school and the price is low, but there needs to be real supervision and students need to learn how to actually listen to clients and execute something other than the same "hood fade" on every head. I left looking worse than when I walked in and I'm still mad about the destroyed sideburns. Maybe some people only want that one specific urban fade and are fine with the vibe, but if you're looking for a clean, classic, or customizable haircut in a calm environment, spend the extra money and go to a real barber. I wanted to support a school, but I won't be back.

I'm done with this horrible place. Riggings has lost his mind. This place is a joke, and I walked…read moreout with a haircut that makes me look like a clown. I am very upset. I was shaking as I drove home. First, I come to the ghetto, disgusting, parking lot where a Planned Parenthood is. Then I wait for what I hope was the perfect time to get a competent barber, even if they were a student - around 9:30am. I walked in, nobody was at the desk. I signed in, then sat down. Finally a young man came up to the desk, I asked for a cut, and handed him a $10 bill. "It's 15 now," he said. Great, Riggins went up on the price again. The guy had a look on his face like he would not let me slide with $10 today for a last time. So, I had to go back to my car to get more money. Mind you, this is the ghetto - where black males are seen as less than human. It felt like walking through a battlefield just to grab $5. I walked back to the circus. The desk was empty, the young man was meditating or something outside. So, I sat and waited. I almost turned to the black man sitting next to me and said, "I bet if I was white - they would look at me." Finally, this black guy who I will call, "militant-uncletom instructor," comes over, but he does not look at me. Instead, militant-uncletom instructor talks to a few students. Then, militant-uncletom instructor finally talks to me. The first thing I did was put the $15 in his hand. Because, as a black male - I understand the negative stereotypes that follow me and I don't want to embarrass my race. I was assigned a woman, she was white or white-Hispanic. I did not mind that she was a woman. Although, I was horrified by her lack of skills. This woman, did not know what she was doing. She was so scared. She started cutting my hair, then after a few minutes she says, "It's been two minutes and I didn't introduce myself." Just because you lack skills, that doesn't mean you also have to be a coward. The woman kept having to call militant-uncletom instructor over for help. Of course my race had to be mentioned by militant-uncletom instructor. The woman kept sweeping hair into my face, so she asked militant-uncletom instructor to come over. Militant-uncletom instructor said, "He's black, he's used to it." I did not say anything right there - because, I am not going to say anything upsetting to a man who is holding clippers next to my head. That is not the mentality students should be taught - "it's okay to treat this customer differently because they're black." The woman gave me a hack-job in about 15 minutes. I can never attract women with the haircuts I get at this dump, so I was not going to argue and cause a scene. I thanked the woman who gave me the hack-job, then I walked out of that circus for the last time. It's sad, because I had been coming since the place first opened.

My…read morestudent was very polite and showed me a photo which I said yes to then proceeded to do the usual modern cut, very short everywhere apart from a cluster on top, nothing like the photo. This has been my experience with both Associated and Paul Mitchell. It appears that the training is forgetting to tell students to listen to the client. The price is great as long as you don't mind what they want to do.

It was a horrible experience Specifically because of the history teacher I got. A crazy blue eyed, brown hair,white woman who thought she could keep kids after class, lock them in her class and verbally abuse them.

Im so thankful I was moved to a better school and im sorry for any kid that went through what I went through. Hope that maniac isnt a teacher anymore. No adult should ever treat teens the way she treated me or be a teacher. This school should do psych tests on their teachers before hiring them.

In my experience, I did not receive the full program that was originally described to me during enrollment. As I reached the end of my training, there were areas of the curriculum that were not provided in hands-on practice.

This made the experience feel incomplete and frustrating, especially for a vocational program where practical training is essential. I recommend researching carefully, asking for specifics in writing, and making sure the program truly aligns with your expectations before making a commitment.
