Testimonials

"Love this school, nice instructors and always clean and put together!"

Katherine Maria Haefner

"Staff Friendly Prices Good Quality Care I Will Return Again"

Hailee Boyd

"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

"The student did careful, excellent work. It took forever, but she was just trying to do it well. She trimmed and shaped my nails, massaged my feet and legs, painted them (having advised on the color). I got a pedicure."

Mark Moritz

"Very professional and respectful. Customer oriented. Wonderful service."
