Vanessa King

"You will be well prepared for state boards & the real world! With a staff who truly cares about its students & their future. They are always updating services & product lines, as well as bringing in speakers to educate you. No to mention the pride this facility takes in its cleanliness & giving back to the community. I’m proud to say I attended this school, not once- but twice! I am currently a successful salon owner, and owe much of that success to the programs offered here. And the great people who work here!!!!!"

Manda Martinkovich

"I took my mom there for her birthday, and for my hair done as well. The young lady who did my hair was AWESOME!!! Her name was Briann I think and she was amazing. I have "natural ethnic" hair and she talked me through everything she was doing and did an amazing job. She has a customer for life!! My hair feels like it has NEVER before, she was funny, humble, sweet, knowledgeable and made the whole visit fun. Her tip was more then half of my cost and I felt she deserved more. I want her to always do my hair even AFTER she graduates. I can’t say enough about this young ladies talent and my enjoyment of being around her. IU Briann."

Moni H

"Very Thorough & a Great Value. I’ve only been once for a hair cut & a wash, but am already planning my spa side visit. Treated myself, my daughter & my mother & the ladies we each had were great. They were meticulous & ensured the cuts were just right. Also loved that we had the opportunity to sit next to each other."
