After spending decades working in NYC, LA, and Chicago he is now bringing his expertise back to West Michigan to teach the next generation of stylists. He has been cutting my hair off and on since 2004 and I can honestly say I have never found anyone as skilled as him! The place itself is lovely and welcoming, while all of the students were pleasant and eager to learn. It was a collaborative process between the teacher and the students. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Today was my first experience at this school, and unfortunately it was not a good one. I arrived…read morefor a manicure and pedicure with gel polish, but the front desk staff told me they could only do a "dry" application and could not soak my nails beforehand. I explained that I've had gel manicures and pedicures done for years at both salons and schools with full soaking included, but told them I was still willing to proceed. Instead of simply scheduling the service, an instructor was brought over who immediately seemed defensive and confrontational. She insisted that soaking nails before gel polish was not allowed in Michigan and gave questionable explanations about bacteria. She then refused to do my pedicure because I was wearing an aircast for a sprained ankle, despite the fact that it could easily be removed and I had no mobility issues. As a registered nurse, I understand my own limitations. The interaction became increasingly uncomfortable, so I chose to leave. I then went to The Salon Professional Academy, where I was treated professionally and respectfully. They provided a full manicure and pedicure, soaked my nails as part of the service, and completed everything without confrontation or unnecessary drama.

Such a lively and lovely place! The service providers were amazing and kind! Would not recommend it…read moremore!

My Partner would also enjoy coming to have his hair done too. Well today 1/6/2026 I went in to get a haircut and I was denied because students felt uncomfortable being around me. Well I have never felt so discriminated before from there, but today I felt like I was. They didn't want to give me a haircut and not explain on what I did was wrong. I feel the LGBTQ ‍ needs to touch some hearts on this matter. So gay,bi, trans, or lesbian people should feel welcomed in hair places. This is so very wrong and I'm really hurt by this. There are so many of us that this sort of thing happens too. Remember LOVE IS LOVE.

She discussed colors and shapes with me. Also, she recommended that I have my permanent eyeliner touched up. What you can expect - The first appointment may take 2-3 hours. There is very little pain.

It's been 2 months now and I am so very happy. I've lost a lot of hair (including my brows) and this has been an easy transition for me!

Each service did take a bit longer than it would at a typical salon, but they're students, and they are very attentive and careful! Ariel did my hair today and she was amazing! I showed her a picture of what I wanted, which was very light blonde balayage on dark brown hair, and she said she would do her best but wasn't sure if we would be able to get my hair that light. I was totally fine with that, as it usually would take a couple appointments to dramatically lighten dark brown hair. Parts of my hair actually became a little reddish from the remnants of box dye that I had used about a year ago, so she recommended a few options for getting the red out and it all ended up working out. It didn't turn out as light as I had first wanted it, but it still looks amazing! The red is gone, and the blonde is still very light! It was blended well with my roots so it looks natural and sun-kissed. AND it's not nearly as damaged or fried as I've experienced in the past with bleaching. Huge shout out to Ariel for working with me for over 3 hours and doing everything she could to make sure my hair looked like what I wanted. She's awesome!

It turned out even better than I expected. On top of that, she was so sweet and fun to talk to the whole time. I had the best experience and will definitely be going back to her again!!
