Great experience! Yes, these are students... They all appear to be ready for the job at hand. Adam was personable and did a great job on my haircut and beard trim. Good luck to your future as a barber! Nicole had Madi help her. She was also very personable and did a great job with Nicole's haircut, scalp treatment and blowout. Thank you Madi! And... did I mention that the prices can't be beat! Thank you Mark!!

Tiffany C. is fantastic!! This was my first visit and I feel like I hit the jackpot of all stylists!! I requested my (long, thick, course, wavy/curly underneath, straight-ish frizzy on top) hair to be shampooed, conditioned, dried, and straightened with a flat iron. Tiffany C. was completely thorough, yet surprisingly quick, and my hair looked AMAZING when she finished!! When I lived in Northwest Arkansas, I regularly went to a hair academy for the same services. (*Side note* That hair academy did not allow clients to make appts with their student-stylist of choice. Appointments were encouraged; however, it was strictly whichever student was next in line/available. In my opinion, that is a negative for clients. I understand, though, allowing every student the equal-opportunity of practice.) Depending on which student-stylist you were assigned to, it would usually take at least 1.5 hours up to 3+ hours! (*Another random side note* On one visit to the Northwest Arkansas hair academy - NOT affiliated with THIS academy, to be clear - an instructor had to join in assisting the student to finish straightening my hair because it had taken so long and they were near closing!) Tiffany C. is so extremely talented, she was finished in maybe one hour - give or take!! She was attentive, asked detailed questions to understand exactly what I wanted, and our conversations were sincerely interesting, relatable, and enjoyable; not just chit chat with awkward silence in-between! (But I have a feeling she would be okay with silence if that is what a client preferred. Ha.) Even the receptionist at my doctor appt afterwards commented on how great my hair looked and asked if I had just come from the salon!! Until Tiffany C. finishes her training, I will definitely request and make ALL future appts with her - and, hopefully, I can follow her to whichever lucky salon she chooses to continue preforming her talents! I have no doubt that all of her future clients will always leave her salon 100% happy, impressed, and feeling and looking AMAZING! Thank you, Tiffany, and I will see you soon!! 🤩😎💚🎉
