I got a retouch on Saturday with one of your senior students. She was excellent, very friendly and very competent. It was a pleasureable experience.

This is the best place to go for affordable facials that offers you the setting and quality of a high-end spa. The staff and students are welcoming and professional. I do wish they would bring back more client appreciation events.

Probably my only complaint, is the super bright light shining in your face for the facial. I understand the student needs to see, but this is the first time Ive had someone use such a bright light that close to my face. Made it very hard to relax.

Perfect place to relax and feel like a princess. The whole staff is very professional. The greet you and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door. The facial experience is top notch. Aveda products are fabulous quality. The students and the instructors put you at ease, talk you through the experience and make sure they are delivering the service you want to have. Have enjoyed every service I have received here.

Wonderful haircut! I know Curly can’t be tough to cut. Ms Anna is absolutely an amazing instructor!

My stylist was fantastic. Wonderful scalp massage during the shampoo; it was so relaxing. She cut my hair exactly the way I wanted it and I left feeling chic and stylish.

This was not one of my better experiences. It was obvious that my stylist wasn’t confident about how to apply a simply root touch up. It was like she was softly petting a cat with the brush instead of applying enough pressure for the product to get to the base of my roots and making sure it’s coated really good. She also has no social skills as it was like pulling teeth to even have a conversation. Then at the bowl, she asked if the water temp was good, and I couldn’t even feel it yet because she had the water on the ends of my hair instead of on my scalp area where I’d be able to feel the water temp. Later at home last night, as I was washing my face, I noticed that a lot of product was still on my hair and on my scalp. The base of the back of my neck was all sticky, and I removed a lot of left over sticky product with my washcloth. I remember seeing her rubbing really hard with a towel on the top of my scalp in a few spots after she finished blow drying my hair. I knew then that she hadn’t washed all of the product out and she was trying to remove it with a dry towel. I wish she would’ve used that kind of pressure when she was applying the color with the brush. She did do a good job styling it. But I’m able to still see the gray area, and I’m considering coming back next week to hopefully have the color reapplied by someone with better skills and more confidence in what they are doing. My lighting at home is brighter than at her station, so I hadn’t noticed the gray still showing until when I got home last night after dinner. I’m pretty frustrated about it, just being honest in order to help y’all. I do usually enjoy my experience, but yesterday was such a bummer.

The girls upfront were attentive, but not hovering, which I really, really appreciate. I was allowed to do my own shopping without somebody coming over and hovering or pushing.
