Ms. Chayanne (hopefully I spelled it right) was an amazing student. She took her time to talk to me all of the way through my hair care experience. She also engaged in conversation with me, she was very polite and showed so much humility. I truly appreciated her willingness to go the extra mile to make sure that I got to sit beside of my mother when it was time to go under the dryer. Unfortunately due to dryer issues I had to be moved. Even in that she made it her priority to accommodate me. I will be coming back just for Ms. Chayanne. May GOD continue to bless and keep you in your hair school journey Ms. Chayanne. Also the facility was very beautiful, the other students were really friendly and the instructors especially Ms. Howard she is so sweet, she really brings a ray of sunshine in the building. I had the opportunity to watch her before I even got my services and she treated everyone with kindness, respect and true compassion. Instructors like her make it easy for students to learn, grow and excel! 5/9/2025 I’m so grateful for Ms. Rhyne for taking excellent care of my hair. The conversations are always amazing and the amazing instructors onsite today Mrs. Banks, Ms. Howard, Mrs. Rivers always give 110% to the care of the clients and their students. They display great teamwork and that makes the dream work! They also had a Mother’s Day card and bell for each Mother to ring. 5/16/2025 Ms. Shirmeka did an outstanding job on my head today. I’m so loving my curls the body work of my curls says it all! 5/23/2025 Ms. Meagan did an amazing roller set on me today. She was very pleasant to talk, skilled and so helpful. Instructor Mrs. McNeal is such an amazing instructor. As students needed help she came in with a mother’s love to assist them! This is the BEST beauty school in the N.C. ! 5/30/2025 Rachel did an outstanding job on my rollerset! I’ll definitely be back really soon!
