Testimonials
"The ladies (students) at the Spa School in Graceland are amazing. I had a brand new person and she has never done layers and she did a wonderful job. Her name is Tory!!"
"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!!!!!"
"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."
"loved my color done by Deja. and my eye brows turned out great as well. enjoyed my experience."
"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."
