Genuinely love coming here to get my braids done. As a single mom of 3 it makes it a bit more attainable. That said, the real reason I have enjoyed my braiding sessions is because the students help one another out, give each other constructive criticism and do a stellar job, the instructors are so good and float around to make sure everything is ok. The energy I have received from the students and faculty who have ended up braiding my hair is excitement and achievement and confidence. Love it. Something to keep in mind is that for braids they are learning and growing. You can’t expect something from students that someone with 20 years of braiding experience can give you. I absolutely love my hair from here. Thanks Peyton and Lydia!

I have loved this school. So professional and customer service driven. The front staff is always kind and helpful. All the “supervisors” are amazing too. The best facial and skin services for such a great price! Went to Kylen when she first was on the floor and loved her so much I came back her last week to get one last facial. Also loved every interaction with Abby. Such a great ending to a night of pampering! My only criticism is the music in the room was not pleasing and took away from the experience.
