I was disappointed with my last visit for a haircut. The young man who cut my hair was very unprofessional. He sectioned off my hair and wanted to wait until the teacher came by to explain how to start the cut. We waited for 1 hour together, and he kept pulling out his phone during that time. When the teacher never came, I was surprised when he just started cutting my hair since he said he didn’t know how to start the haircut. I didn’t wait to have my hair styled and I just left the salon with wet hair. On the way out, he asked me if I wanted to have my eyebrows waxed. No thank you, sir. I

I went to this school in the nail tech program.. they say they train you to be in a salon setting, well let me tell y'all about my experience. Every single teacher in that building always told me my work looked good, i didnt need to fix anything, everything was perfect, even though half the time i knew it looked a mess, i never touched nail supplies in my life. They don't sit down with you to make sure what your doing is right, they don't teach you how to be efficient. I went to a salon for a interview.. boy was I humiliated, i couldnt move fast enough for them some of my techniques i learned in

Besides the polish they use is VERY OLD. The lady who did my nails was very nice. I was there for hours to have my nails painted and pedicure. The finished look - that turned out very clumpy- and piled on thick. It had to come off or get all over my clothes soon as I got home. Help these ladies out with polish that isn’t old. I can honestly say: I do a better job with my left hand. I’m right handed. A- for effort I give her!

❤ Love getting my hair done here. Gives the students experience & the teachers check to make sure the styles are done right.. Would recommend going here... Call ahead for appointment, since COVID 19. But worth it.. Hair, nails, manicure, pedicure, waxing, etc.. And wonderful gift packages available too ❤❤

I always enjoy coming here. I have found the instructors to be pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. Most students are open to assistance and constructive criticism. Remember this is a school and the students are learning, they are not professionals yet. I have found that they do try and really want to do a good job. I've had many different services over the years and have been pleased with the cuts, colors and styles.

For a hair school, I was a little leery. A relative was raving about this place & I was visiting, thought to give it a try. The best move ever. I went in during their evening hours. Waited about 10 minutes, was greeted by a student named Tatum. She was personable, friendly, courteous, thorough, & most importantly she knew how to deal with my hair. I have natural hair with 2 different textures. She didn't use extreme heat, no pulling, gave hair tips & all with a smile!! Since my initial visit, whenever I am visiting the area, I visit Schilling-Douglas & cross my fingers that Tatum is working. THANK

My overall experience was great. I have long, straight hair and I don't get it cut often so even spending $20 (plus tip) on trimming the dead ends off my hair seems ridiculous to me. At Schilling-Douglas, I spent $35 (and a tip) on a cut and partial foil of highlight. I have to say, it is AMAZING. I've never left a salon feeling as good as I did. I am usually very picky with my hair and won't like it until 2 weeks after I got the work done. All my coworkers rave about how nice my hair is now and how it revamped my whole look.
The girl was nervous but she didn't guess at anything. If she ever had
