I had an amazing experience at this school after a dreadful experience at Paul Mitchell the school San Diego. When you graduate, there is wine and champagne to celebrate. I loved my instructors here too.

It's good but expensive for just a two session review. Presentation was great though! I'll take more of their courses on line!!!

In regards to the academy it is theee best hands down. All other hair schools are just as expensive if not more! This academy is more professional than any other out there! Here you will learn to do hair the right way! It was exciting to go everyday when I went and my daughter went in 2015 and she loved it too! I recommend checking this school out even if you don’t plan to go and You will see the difference. Many people like going to the best University for their education, why not the best Cosmetology school? Vidal Sassoon Academy is the best education in hair that you will get!

I dont go all the time to the salon but I treated myself to this place at the start of the year. Hair color and style has treated me much better than the year has... I'd go back but will probably try another salon first.

I am a student attending this location. This is one of the best locations with full time instructors that have incredible talent. They are elite in their craft and take pride in the hand they have in molding the future generations of stylists. Their priority of creating a unique learning experience while producing incredible hair is mesmerizing and will have no problem keeping your attention. For Clients: To be in Santa Monica and getting a haircut of this standard for this price is unbeatable. You are paying with your time. Even after waiting, this is still an unbeatable place to receive a haircut. Whether you are dealing with students of Sassoon(who go through more schooling than any licensed person, before touching a head of hair) or a licensed professional, when having instructors of this caliber you can trust your hair is in good hands, with multiple sets of eyes on it. ;]

I have been going here since 1996. I think VS is the best of the lot. They know hair, hair types, and the hippest styles. They care about the condition of your hair. I have had some problematic cuts once in a while, but not to the point of being butchered. Once I had to come back for a redo, and they gave it to me free of charge, even though the stylist got defensive. One male instructor (not the British guy, he is always great) was arrogant, and told the student to not cut my bangs in the style I requested, and I got some sort of uneven, choppy mess. Should have put my foot down. I just cut it at home. I suspect ageism that time. It is what older women have to deal with. So many stylists want to put us into short, angled, Karen bobs that stopped being edgy twenty years ago when Kate Gosselin sported one. No I do not want to speak to the manager. Anyway, I stopped short of putting in 5 stars due to atrocious parking issues. I wish they would open up a branch in Los Angeles. It is quite a trek for me. Be prepared for a 4 hour stay. Bring plenty of water, and get up and stand, because your butt will get sore from sitting 4 hours straight.
