Testimonials

"This is a really nice place to get a good haircut for cheap. $9.50-$13.50! You can give a really great tip and it’s still very, very affordable. The students do a really precise & excellent job under the supervision of their instructor."

Katie Riedinger

"Toured the school yesterday and loved it! Plan to start classes August 4!"

Vanessa King

"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."

Nichole Weis

"I enjoyed the majority of my time in school and Mrs. Turf was the most wonderful teacher to her students. I have never had a better teacher than her."
