Brooke Bateman, a talented student at J Douglas, delivered an absolutely incredible 90-minute facial paired with a soothing neck, shoulder, and foot massage. Her skillful touch and attention to detail created a deeply relaxing and revitalizing experience, leaving the skin radiant and the body completely refreshed. Brooke’s professionalism and dedication truly shine through in every aspect of her service. Allyson Nelson, also a student at J Douglas, provided a fantastic all-over color treatment followed by a flawless blowout. Her expert technique brought vibrant, rich color to the hair, enhancing its natural beauty, while the blowout was perfectly styled, smooth, and full of life. Allyson’s passion and precision made the entire experience feel upscale and personalized. Both Brooke and Allyson demonstrate exceptional promise and skill in their respective areas, reflecting the high standards of training at J Douglas. Their combined talents make for an outstanding beauty and wellness experience.

It was my first time at Douglas J Institute, and it was my first time getting a perm. I’ve wanted a perm for a while and had a style in mind. My stylist was Sammy Hill and she really did her thing!! I absolutely love my perm and it came out like the inspo photos I showed her. I definitely recommend trying out Douglas J Institute, it seems like they have a lot of really talented stylists :)

I had 2 services last night. I had color retouch and a plant based 90 minute facial. Both were fabulous. Riley R does a great job with color and cuts, listens to what you want and is very personable. Anna C was also a fabulous person. She has a calming presence which made the 90 min facial very relaxing. I was also very happy with my results. Highly recommend Douglas J but Riley and Anna specifically!
