The student did great. For his first time with my hair type, he did really great. Problem was, the instructor came over and instead of helping me frame my face with bangs; he used me as a demo. It was horrible, in the end Leo gave me spider leg bangs that look like a teen had done them after watching one YouTube video. When I voiced my concerns he brushed them off and continued to flaunt his "expertise" to the students watching. He even went as far as to make fun that girls cried over bad bangs as if to say I shouldn't be picky. It was horrible and I felt betrayed and somewhat humiliated, but all

They used to be $10, but hey, life isn't getting easier and they had to raise their prices ($15 now, still not a deal breaker). There was no wait, and I got seated almost immediately. Remember, you're getting a deal because they're students, meaning they're bound to make a mistake. Regardless, they have their instructor supervising them (and will fix any mistake). There's this guy (instructor) who is really good when it comes to layering hair...and this is the second time I've got his student. 2/2 good haircut so far, esp if you're open to change IF the student makes a small booboo (not that the

I went from brassy brown hair to a beautiful ashy blonde for just $115 here! The results were fantastic for the price. I’m reviewing it with four stars instead of five because the atmosphere is really chaotic and loud. But, that being said, it is a school, so that’s to be expected. I highly suggest coming here.

This is the place you come to when you 1) have a simple haircut you want, 2) can’t afford the high end places to color your hair, or 3) want to try a new style that you’re not sure about.
The name says it all... Institute... it’s a school so the stylists are “in training” but they are customer ready. The reason I love coming here is because they don’t get to take any short cuts... no pun intended. They have to do each snip, clip, crop, and twirl to the top quality because someone is watching them and grading them. The same reason I used to go to the University Dental School, the students

Awesome place to get a cheap haircut, or get professional like work done by students who is wanting to learn all aspect of hair design. I'm happy to give a tips for great effort they put in there work. They continue to grow as a company, if you nervous about going there ask for a seniors who have more experience, as alway ask questions how you want it done and the teachers are always around to help, for detail or special work call for a appointment. been going there for over 15 years and still love coming back.
