First time at the salon. Was checked in right away by a friendly staff member, informed of risks; since these are students and stylist came and greeted me. She took her time with my hair, confirming exactly what I wanted. Instructors were also present in salon, reviewing all the steps the students were performing. I felt very comfortable and was beyond satisfied. Great prices and great practice for all our future cosmologists.

Joey Charles IS THE BEST. Hands down, he’s so freaking awesome don’t get me wrong everyone there is super super friendly. Joey did my hair and he was phenomenal! I can’t even tell you the last time I enjoyed getting a haircut/blowout. Usually hate people touching my hair. But he was so kind, so sweet and funny, and honestly you are in such good hands with him. Trust his process he knows what he’s doing. Just sit back and let him work cuz let me tell you!

I had a great experience today. Madison cut my hair and she did a perfect job. And what an incredible value! It’s lovely to interact with young people training for their profession.
