Testimonials

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

Vanessa King

"loved my color done by Deja. and my eye brows turned out great as well. enjoyed my experience."

Susan L.

"Megan gave me a wonderful facial and my pedicure with Deirdre was the best! They were very personable and professional. Clearly, the staff at The Spa School has trained them well! And the prices were a fraction of what you would pay at any other spa!"

Donna James

"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."
