Shatavia did such an insanely job on my braids and it came out exactly how I wanted it to. She was really nice and chill the whole time and made me feel comfortable. My hair came out so good, and you can tell she really puts effort into her work. I love my braids and I’m definitely coming back again. I would definitely recommend her!

I'm very happy with my experience here. As a French woman, I've always had trouble finding a good place for my color treatments, so I decided to give this school a try. I came in with a dream: going back to blond, but starting from a base with color and red tones — I knew it would be a real challenge. The teacher was fantastic and took on the challenge without hesitation. That's how I met Stephanie, a student who did an amazing job. She started with a balayage, which is a genuinely difficult technique, and she handled it beautifully. After a shampoo, we went back to the chair, where they applied two different colors — one for my roots and another for the lengths. Santana also came to support Stephanie, and together they did a remarkable job on my hair. They understood exactly what I wanted. My hair color was really stubborn to lift, so I still have a bit of orange left, but honestly it works perfectly — it adds depth and dimension. Now I'm blond with slightly darker hair underneath, and it looks completely natural. I was genuinely surprised that students could achieve results like this. I spent 7 hours there in total, which gave me time to watch other students at work, and one thing really stood out: everyone — students and staff alike — was so supportive of one another. There was Latin music playing the entire time, which brought so much sunshine and energy to the room. I truly loved my experience. I highly recommend it!
