I am a middle aged man and I went in to support my daughter. I get a basic military buzz cut...high and tight. I was met by very kind young ladies at the front counter. That place is always busy! WOW! The stylist cutting my hair was very intent on my preferences and chatted with my the entire time. She did a great job:) I was very pleased and plan to continue seeing the stylist. Thank you Evelyn and PHD for offering affordable cuts and great training opportunities for these young people. We must support them! read more

I know that getting my hair bleached to the palest levels of blonde by a cosmetology student is a little insane but I do it anyway cause I ain't rich :-) A tip for anyone with fine hair going blonde: make sure to ask for a low volume of peroxide like 15 or lower, to prevent over-processing. My hair is intact thanks to this technique, yay. So, I asked to have my very long brunette root outgrowth lightened to blend with the ends, without toner. I do this to prep my hair for pastel temporary dyes like pink or lilac. I didn't need a perfect result but I lost some confidence in this business because they initially weren't willing to acknowledge the different levels of blonde here (see pics). I was trying to ask for advice and a follow up appointment, not a refund. Reluctantly, an instructor told me to return in a week and they'd fix the huge brassy band for $40. I am biased because I'm comparing this salon school to the one I usually visit in California, which has always been so meticulous and upfront about my hair, yet charges the same rates. So between the lightening process, a haircut and a complimentary style, this service was $80 and I tipped $5. The student gave me a really nice French braid though. I'd come back for updos and haircuts, just not bleach. read more

Professional Hair Design Academy - I paid $80 and tipped $5 for this result but I need one more color service to fix the brassy part :-) - Cosmetology Schools Near Me - Eau Claire, Wisconsin

I would only suggest seeing cretin people at this location ! shelby was amazing. But Taylor was terrible . she for one had to soak my daughters hair for no reason to literally just trim off a couple inches. then she took over a hour in the end for this simple cut when shelly only took 15 to 20 min. I am guessing Taylor must be new in the program. I then told the instructor I please do not want Taylor touching my hair I would like any one else to do it and she gave the dirtiest look ever. yes I saw you ! oh ya and you got mad when my other daughter came over to just look at you giving her sister a hair cut really lady gesh so unprofesional. I sure hope you get your act together before working in the real world . maybe take some lessons from shelby. thank you shelby for making our experiance tolerable!!!! we will probably follow you too fa tactic Sam's and every one else should too!!! read more

If I could give them 0 stars, I would've. My hair didn't turn out awful. And I'm sure they'll know who it is by the time I'm done writing this. Although it didn't turn out how I wanted it to, it's not the end result that I found issues with. It was the culturally insensitive remarks carelessly made. During the session, I kept my cool and remained calm the entire time because I didn't want her to ruin my hair and because she had made me feel extremely bad about my hair since I have extremely thick hair for an Asian woman. Which a client shouldn't have to feel bad about the hair they were born with. She kept saying, "It wouldn't be so bad if your hair wasn't so thick." I told her, "I do feel bad I have such thick hair, but before my first test trial with you guys, on the phone I told you guys I have thick hair that's a little longer than my shoulders. And then during my test trial, you also touched and played with my hair." And she goes, "Yeah you weren't lying." She kept saying she's only had to use this much bleach on another client who was African American and that client was just getting highlights. She proceeded to say the African American clients' hair was so thick and knotty, she started getting frustrated. In my head, I thought, "You're a hair stylist. You won't always get just straight, smooth, blonde hair. You'll get all different types of hair, including ethnic hair." But I bit my tongue because I didn't want her to botch my hair. She basically found the nicest way to say the meanest things. As any young professional, regardless what your line of work is, there has to be basic knowledge about different ethnicities and how to be inclusive about every race. read more

Went in to get a haircut on the spur of the moment. The receptionists and stylist were so very nice to me. Also the instructor was personable and caring. I really appreciated it. I wasn't in that good a mood when I went in. I left with a smile on my face and a good feeling. I will certainly go back and recommend PHD to people. Also, I look awesome with my new haircut! read more

They got me in right away. I was impressed with how thorough and careful my stylist was while cutting my hair. The students have an instructor check their work and the instructor may touch things up if needed. For $9.00 I got an awesome haircut and I was treated like a princess! The washing and styling of my hair was all included in the $9.00 price. I will go there again. read more
