    This is a shave? I can do this for free at home with a razor from the dollar store.
    Michael M.

    Left with my face bleeding. Saw a groupon for 3 haircuts and a shave and decided to try. I've had my hair cut in the past in these learning salons with mixed results. Went in in the morning, and the underground rap / hip hop blaring on the school system was definitely not salon sanctioned. Haircut was crooked, guy cutting it was more concerned about taking pictures for IG than paying attention to the haircut. The girl who gave the attempt at a shave, never has used a straight razor in her life. My face was burning badly from aftershave, I was in a rush and left. Got back home and saw my face bleeding and scorched from the aftershave on multiple sides of my face - with nothing shaved, just bleeding. I called to see if that was normal, and was apologized to, but nothing else. Extremely hesitant for a 2nd trip, I came back in a month later, and the same guy was available to cut my hair. Still trying to take pictures for IG, and still crooked haircut with no blend. He was pissed that I was correcting him this time, and roughly blending my fade in as requested instead of the undercut he did. He dusted me off quickly, said and I quote "I have to take a shit." to the girl at the desk and ran (to the bathroom I'm guessing). This is a real place? I've had $6 haircuts that went better than this. There won't be a 3rd time or ever again - I gave ample time for someone to reach out to me about it. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place, at all.

    They put tools on the floor and grab it from the floor while working on your pedicure. Very unprofessional !

    Omg very rude and u professional male teacher who teachers mani- pedi! He interrupted me and start being rude and sarcastic while I was talking to the front desk! They train their students on a real clients, and you have to pay money for that and they do not guarantee the result and let you sign a paper about it. So if you hair come out purple instead of blonde or they cut your finger off during the pedicure, they are not responsible! People who provide you service do not have a license! Teachers stop by to see the final result, they don't control the process. They don't have even a pedicure chair , they put a bucket with water to your seat in a waiting area, put the tools on the floor, not on a stand and do pedicure like that! Very very unprofessional organization! People who owe that school need to go thru health inspection! Pictures are attached

The prices are really…read moreaffordable, especially compared to a traditional salon, and I've always had a great experience here. I've had my hair balayaged, cut and styled, and even had my roots done to blend in with color that I previously did myself. Every service I've received has turned out great, and both the service and products used are really good. Since the services are performed by students, I would recommend requesting that the educator be involved if you're nervous or have a specific look in mind. They can really help walk the student through the process and make you feel more comfortable. Overall, it's a great option if you're looking to save some money while still getting a quality hair experience!

I really love the enthusiasm of the students. They bring a lovely happy energy. The shop just feels so vibrant. The clients who come here are all ages too. I love all of the products, & that they do not do animal testing & are environmentally friendly. The students are friendly and eager to learn. There are plenty of instructors and everyone is up to date on the newest techniques. I usually get my hair colored and cut (When I feel inspired). I will probably keep coming for many more years!!

They immediately accommodated on getting me in later in the afternoon. The price point was extremely reasonable at $20 updo plus tip. I was super lucky to have one of their recent graduates Q to be assigned to do my hair. She was extremely patient and carefully made sure my hair matched the photo example I found on google. She did not burn me at all and was very careful as she pinned down the braids. I never felt like my hair appointment was rushed. I always felt my hair was being treated with such amazing care. I was beyond happy with how my hair turned out. I also got my toes and nails painted by James. He was extremely friendly and did an excellent job. 5 star experience with such friendly staff.

However, Mr. T fixed it, so I don't want to focus on that. Just be honest with what you want, and they will do their best to accommodate. The owner is a big bald guy who wears a bow tie. He's a little intimidating and I don't think he has ever acknowledged my existence, but I still love this place! To sum it up, this place offers great haircuts at great prices! Highly recommend.

The professor Anna was AMAZING she was going step by step with the student Diamond on what to do she modeled one part diamond would take over the rest. The teacher and student where so welcoming and treated us like family. This has been just The most incredible experience I've ever had in a salon. The color exceded my expectations. The teacher was the best and they go out of there way to explain it all step by step how Diamond would accomplish the look we requested. I will deff recommend this school where ever we go. Thank you all so much for being so warm and inviting. The best of luck for Diamond and Anna

I love…read moremy hairdresser Megan 5789 is her id number she is amazing I love her so much and she is the sweetest person ever but I don't know if I really want to go back because I gave them a picture of what I wanted and they didn't do exactly that they made my hair black and it looks absolutely awful. I hate it but. She was truly amazing and i loved telling her thing and I'll put a picture of the photo that I wanted and of my hair now because it looks completely different so if I go back, it's probably gonna to be to get it changed back to what I actually wanted no this is my first time being here and when I first went in, it was really good. I absolutely loved it. The people were nice to me and everything. The only thing I did not like is that they did not give me what I wanted with the hair color because when I first walked in, I wanted to do a relaxer on my hair and they just immediately assumed that my hair was bleached and I've never put bleach in my hair none of it and they thought that that was the way I got my hair to the color it was before and I was like no, I just used irony the straight red dye on my hair and it turned out this color. I didn't put no bleach on it or anything and then after that, we weren't able to do the perm so I was like OK that's fine. I'm still happy. I'm still here then they said OK let's do a hair color instead. We can do a treatment hair color cut straighten blow dry all of that and I was like OK sure yeah I showed her the info picture that I wanted when I did. They said OK we can do that 100% we can do that so they do like a highlight and low fade. I was like OK go ahead and then she told me while she was putting the dye in my hair that it was going to be like a brown like my hair color brown and I was like my hair is black like my scalp hair is black and she said no it's kind of like a brown so like the dye will be a brown and I was like OK so I thought it was gonna be a light brown then after that, we wash my hair we didn't have time to blow dry my hair or straighten it at all. She put the treatment in my hair one for five minutes one for 15 then after that, I looked at my hair and I did not like it, but we also sat in the salon for three hours doing my hair until like 10 so I didn't also wanna say anything cause I can't do anything about it after anyway so I was like yeah I like it cause it was like a little bit what I wanted, but it wasn't what I want exactly they only did the highlights correctly, but I was still kind of upset cause I didn't like it that much and it was just OK like I tolerated it, but I don't really like it that much but besides that I love the service. I love that place. I loved my hairdresser Megan. She was absolutely amazing. Loved her. I just did not like my hair color.

It is the only hybrid school that I could find, which was important because I needed to continue working full time while in school. I attended the night classes and it worked very well with my schedule. I love the school's mission of inclusivity and felt I got a well-rounded education. I felt very confident leaving school and was able to land my dream position right out of school at a med spa. Tessa is an amazing leader and mentor, was very motivating, and told it like it was. I loved the small class sizes because we all got plenty of individual attention. My advice to prospective students is to take public clinic very seriously because it's great experience for the real world, and make sure to get all of your hours in or else you won't graduate on time.

I faced difficulties with the exercises and willingly opted to restart on day one to address my shortcomings in completing specific objectives. On round two of day one, I was more confident handling the motorcycle. It was beneficial to have Nathan and Cici again, as they were familiar with my challenges and provided tailored coaching for improvement. Progressing to day two, I achieved many objectives for what Nathan aptly called the "Talent Show." (Skills Test) I now feel confident and capable of safely operating the motorcycle. A positive aspect is that retaking the class is free. So, putting aside ego and pride and approaching the experience with a smile and a willingness to learn can lead to a fantastic outcome. The key is to focus on building solid foundations to comprehend the hazards of the road and effectively navigate emergencies. This positive learning experience took place in Melbourne, FL. Definitely, going to take the advanced courses or do days one and two to hone my skills more.
