I recently got a perm AND cut by Danielle L. I absolutely love it. She did an amazing job..Not only did I want big curls on the wavy side but my hair is very long and way overdue for a cut. She was very professionally. I already booked my appointment for color. The prices are also very reasonable. You are allowed to tip the stylist as this is a full salon. Its a great way for new stylists to gain experience and expand on everything they learned. The instructors are there walking around just in case someone needs help. The instructors check the stylist work to assure all is well. I highly recommend. Prom is coming quickly better schedule your appointment.

I have long, thick, damaged hair. I asked for a perm (large wavy curls) and a cut with layers. My hair was done by Danielle L. The location is easy to get to in Whitehall. She did an amazing job on my hair i absolutely love it. I never knew they had a salon for the students fresh out of class. I ALREADY HAVE MY COLOR APPT SCHEDULED WITH DANIELLE. My hair is light, layered and I couldn't be more impressed. For those who are nervous because these ladies/gents are fresh out of school. DONT BE. There are instructors that walk around and are available for help at any moment if help is needed for everyone which is great for the stylists. Everything comes with experience so go out and schedule your appointment now. I had Danielle L ..prom is coming up too so moms keep these stylists busy. Get your appt in. Also if your a little nervous because they are technically new stylists. DONT BE. the instructors do check to make sure the stylist did everything correctly and explain to the students what they see. So yes please go give Danielle L or any student a try! They deserve it.

I had a great experience getting a haircut from Cheyenne, an upcoming stylist currently in hair school. She took the time to thoroughly explain the details of my haircut, making sure I understood the process and what to expect. I appreciated her professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication throughout the appointment. The staff was supportive, offering helpful options and ensuring everything was done properly. An instructor also checked the final result, which gave me extra confidence in the quality of the service. Cheyenne delivered exactly the look I wanted, and I highly recommend her as a talented and stylist!
