Critical: Professionalism, Punctuality
Since the pandemic not sure of the reason they do not have enough students. It's hard to get an appointment. My appointment was cancelled 1 hr. before and don't have anything until next year. Time to find a new stylist. I was very happy before Covid, but is definitely tome to move on.
Services: Haircut, Hair coloring

When I was looking for a barber crossover program I called CHDA and Mr.Paul answered the phone, he was so nice and so helpful and ultimately I chose this school for that reason. I started in the day class and decided to switch to the night class to have him as my teacher. He’s uplifting, always positive and makes an amazing atmosphere to promote learning. If you’re going to go to this school ask to have Mr. Paul as your teacher and you won’t regret it!!!

I have really long hair! I love my hair and it takes a lot of coaxing for me to go and get it cut or styled. I finally broke and went with a friend of mine. to be honest I was scared and uncomfortable but the girl I had quickly made me feel welcome and comfortable. she constantly asked for advice from her instructor ( which I felt greatful for) she wanted so badly for me to be pleased with my experience that I couldn't help but feel greatful for! not only was I pleased with my hair bit I loved the people there! they help each other out and advice on best ways too make the consumer happy! I love

I know that all work is done by students but still....
Haircut review first:
I went and had a haircut and a shave there last night and both came out really bad. The fade was done unevenly, I have strips of longer hair on the right rear quadrant, where the hair was supposed to come to a point at the back of my is about 2 inches of center towards the right side, I have lines on the back of my head where the clippers dipped into the hair, on the right side at the bottom it's higher than on the left and most importantly of all I asked for a style which would not require the use of any product on
