They are fairly clean and courteous. Girls sit around and it gives a feel of a dorm room rather than a salon. I see the students trying out different solutions on each other. I strongly recommend to try this place once but make sure you have at least 2-4 hours for a color and blow dry. They are students and they are very very slow. Only flaw is the extreme stress between their teachers and students. Apparently teachers have the tight to throw a student out so students are always scared of the teachers. I notice it more with one teacher than with other. I won't try a hair cut but their hair services are nice. I have tried their facials, but it lacks the professional touch, and it is quit understandable. So go there for hair color, shampoo or a up do but i would be a bit uncomfortable with the hair cut, unless you get lucky with the right student. i will keep going but i wish they change their teacher-student relations. It is awkward most times. I am going to write another review a little later after i try the place again next month. Hopefully someone will read the review and correct it.

I came to Pivot Point for a pedicure and simply wanted my no-chip polish removed along with a cut…read moreand shape. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Despite specifically asking for my nails to be cut and shaped, that was never done. The student took her time, but the entire service felt rushed and uninterested, as if she didn't want to be there. The pedicure itself was far below what I've experienced at other student salons. There was no heel scrub, no spa-like experience, and the water didn't even have bubbles. To make matters worse, there was a hair floating in the water. Instead of changing the water, it was simply removed with a towel and the service continued. What bothered me the most was the no-chip removal process. Rather than properly soaking the polish off, a rough nail file that felt like a piece of sandpaper was used repeatedly on my nails. It was uncomfortable, actually hurt, and left me questioning whether proper removal techniques were being followed. I've visited several student salons before and understand that students are learning, but this experience was nowhere near the standard I've come to expect. I left disappointed and would not return or recommend it to others.

I had to leave my first appointment before it was…read morefinished because it ran longer than 50 minutes, so I recommend to leave room in your schedule after the appointment if you want the best experience. I received a facial today. In both appointments, Pivot Point Academy made sure to evaluate me thoroughly to ensure that nothing was applied to my face that shouldn't have been; meanwhile, I was provided a well-rounded, hybrid experience of hydration, relaxation and breakout treatment. My esthetician was named Aliya, named after the singer Aaliyah. Aliya was not only skilled, but also very considerate of all of the components of what makes a good customer experience. She was sweet, thorough in both her approach and her application of the product, had good massaging techniques, was generally attentive to detail, and exhibited a wealth of knowledge that she's managed to learn within just a few months of practice. If I do book with Pivot Point again, Aaliya is definitely the one for me.

I was a bit skeptical to come here after I heard it was beauty students doing the work but the prices were extremely appealing especially when you compare it to the $75 it usually is to get an up-do at a professional salon. I believe my up-do was around $25 and a half up half down style was only $12! The workers do such a great job & the prices make this place even better. I know they do makeup, cuts & mani/pedis too. Definitely save your money & come here for whatever you need! Thanks Haskana!

I believe the name of my stylist was Stevie (employees may correct me if I'm wrong). I went in for a men's cut. Stylist was very attentive to my haircut specifications while showing incredible attention to detail that I am not used to getting (those sideburns are a tough cookie, lemme tell ya). Stylist lived up to the name because she seems to treat her craft as an artist would, and my hair was the canvas. Did I mention it's incredibly inexpensive? Professional salon quality haircut (and/or coloring when applicable)for a great price. From the stylist to management, I had a great and welcoming experience and will definitely come back again!

I have never had a bad experience. They're always busy, only one time have I been turned away and asked to make an appointment. I do think most people make appointments I tend to just wing it and walk in. This place is appropriate for men, women, and children. To me it's just like a real salon but they have more hands-on help available if they need it . They are very professional and very passionate about what they're learning. I'm a real client but I'm also going to say don't forget to tip. They work hard. don't tip 20% because seriously you are saving so much money.

She hacked it down to about half an inch in the back with no apparent plan, and a student then tried unsuccessfully to style the damage: a curling iron risked burning my scalp, and rollers wouldn't hold on hair that short. Throughout the service, the instructor even complained openly about how Tricoci handles instructor transitions, which did nothing to inspire confidence in the supervision at this location. I left mortified and had to buy a wig just to appear in public until my hair grows back which will take over a year. I do not recommend trusting your hair to this instructor or this location.
