I have been coming here for almost 2 years now and it is something that I would recommend. Started…read morecoming here getting my hair done when I did not have a steady hairdresser. For the prices, you get good service. I can't say great, but I do understand that they're learning so I'm not going to knock them. Next, I started to get pedicures. And then graduated to getting my fill ins. Staff and students have always been nice. Expect to stay there longer than a general session somewhere else, because they are students, but for the price you pay, it's worth the bargain.

My experience with this place culminates from roughly 3-4 months of experiencing consistent…read moresanitation issues, disorganization, chaos and overall unprofessionalism. It's so crazy that you have to get it on the record as I have. At first you give them grace because they are a school. They'll even ask for grace. But after months of experiencing what can only be described as a wild goose chase of chaos, you hit a point where you have to say, "NO! This is no longer about grace". This is about fundamental structural and organizational failure. What I experienced went far beyond minor mistakes or student learning curves. And after speaking with a rep from the Barber and Beauty industry, it's clear that Georgia Career Instirute has systemic problems, not one-off oversights. The Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbers require strict compliance with sanitation, infection control, client safety, supervision and operational protocols. This means at the very least, having fully functional sinks where gook is not coming out and making sure all sinks have continuous hot water. You can't wash relaxer out in cold water. But again, this is minor, however, it undermines sanitation, safety, and basic professional standards. Think about it. If a school can't reliably provide hot water, it signals a much larger breakdown in oversight, infrastructure and accountability. Again, this is minor. There are way bigger problems over here, and I'm certain if the State Board did a random visit and/or disguised as a client, this entire school would be shut down. I do NOT recommend this school under any circumstances and believe it should be fully dissolved to protect students, clients, and the integrity of the profession.

Listen where to even begin The main guy who teachers…read moreeverybody to do haircuts can't even cut hair himself. I asked for a fade on the side and he didn't even blend in the guidelines. My job starts in 3 days and I look like a raccoon the way u can see every line. Would definitely NOT recommend stay away from the bald guy with glasses. Basically the man instructing them wants everything done himself do NOT go here because u will get a bad men's haircut go to your usual barber trust me.

Finally stopped crying long enough to write this review. My husband helped me take photos of the…read moredamage so you can judge for yourself. I walked in a strawberry blonde and walked out with blotches and stripes of red, green, ash and brown. I have to say the girls were very sweet and worked hard to get it right. The problem was the man instructing them. He handled all the dye mixes. Even when the girls and I knew the process has gone wrong, he kept insisting it was just some red in my scalp. I held up strands of my hair with a red blotch at the root, a streak of bleached blonde, and another of copper, and told him that's not scalp. I should have walked out then. Instead I let him mix up two more batches of dye, one to tone down the red splotches and another to tone down the bleachy streaks. You can see the result. The girl next to me fared no better. She kept saying how bright yellow her hair was and asking if it would darken up. The whole thing was a horrifying experience made worse by the condescending and arrogant instructor. If he had even once acknowledged there was a problem, I would have thought it was a fluke mistake. But he kept saying it was fine and that it would tone down after a couple of washings. The girls in the shop knew better. I had strands of hair with hard verticals stripes of colors not found in nature. There was nothing soft and subtle about it. I knew they felt terrible, but it was really out of their hands. I asked one of them if they would walk in to a job interview with this hair ( I have one scheduled), and she sadly shook her head. I hope my experience helps prevent others from making the same mistake. I was betting on the five star reviews, and learned the hard way. Tomorrow I go to a professional design studio to see if they can do anything to repair the damage.

Money for shampoo then more money for blowout then more money for straight hair blow out and finally more money for long hair.
