I have had several haircuts, highlights, hair treatments and brought my teenagers in to have their hair done with Cylie Burns. She is professional, knowledgeable, kind, and has done a great job at making my hair look amazing. Her organization and confidence are what I want in an hair stylist. Appointments were easily made and I never had to wait long for her to come out to greet me. She was thorough with every appointment and could advise me on what would be best for my hair. I’m going to miss her when she graduates, but she will do an amazing job at whatever salon she moves on to! Before she leaves, book an appointment with Cylie! She’s the best!

I went to see Jazlynn D and she was the BEST! Jazzy is so kind, knowledgeable, talented and gave me such a natural and beautiful partial highlight. I will definitely be looking for her as a hairstylist after she graduates from the institute!

Charlotte did a great job. She was very personable, confident, and professional. I received the Stress Treatment, eyebrow tint, and eyelash tint and curl. It was a process! My first time having my brows and lashes done. Glad she asked if I would like my eyes done separately. I would not have like them both being stuck shut for that length of time. I was supposed to get my brows laminated as well, but I didn’t know you have to be off of topical medication for 1 week prior. It makes sense. I just didn’t read that anywhere when I made my appt on line. Make sure you read through the website or call prior to your appt if it is your first time. Ask questions and be prepared. It has been 2 weeks. A few of my white eyebrow hairs didn’t take. But they look great compared to what they looked like prior. My eye lashes still look great. The left side took better to the curl than the right. So I just use the hand curler to even it out. I would definitely do it again.
