    that place is AWFUL!!! came in seeking help after a previous at-home bleaching mistake. Instead of preserving my existing blonde highlights, dark dye was applied throughout my hair, leaving me with multiple uneven tones including dark brown, orange, caramel, and blonde sections. Now I have redness and irritation on my neck and behind my ear after the service. I contacted the salon afterward but have not received a response. I am disappointed with both the results and the communication!

    They probably used cheap and low quality products

    Very affordable. Supervised cuts. Been coming here for 14 years. Find a student that you like and keep going to then until the graduate. Before they graduate find a replacement and you'll always have a great cut.

    AJ is the man. The cut AJ gave me was perfect and incredible. He was detailed and I found my barber for the future. Amen. AJ God bless you and Jesus Christ is love.

    Over charging after your hair is already done.

    **** UPDATE..I’ve looked at other reviews where the owner claims they’re trying to fix it. It’s not true. It appears they keep the cheap prices online to bring you in only to raise them after you are there.****

    Their website showed $75 for box braids with extensions. I called before I came and the price change was never mentioned. Nor was it mentioned when I arrived.

    I didn’t receive the hair style that I wanted. Although, my stylist was fantastic had I know it was going to cost over $100 I would have paid the extra $20-$30 to have a professional do the hairstyle I actually wanted.

    Heyssi did a wonderful job on my manicure! Her and her instructor Crystal were so sweet and so welcoming and I left feeling pampered and beautiful! 10/10 would recommend.

    Just had my cut with Jesus Mateo. As a first time client at this academy. Must say I truly enjoyed the experience. Jesus listened to his instructor (Luis) and paid extreme attention to detail. Asking his instructor for tips and techniques so that he can advance in his field. It’s seems like they just gained a new client and can’t wait to return for my next cut.

    Thank you David for my haircut. As challenging as it was cutting my low caesar, you nailed it. The cut is even. Shout out to your instructor Kobe who blessed me with a half moon part. You are a great teacher. Very attentive.

    My son came in for a new look and Jose (sorry if I spelled wrong) did his fresh look! I was worried all in all being a school but that dude hooked him up fresh that I came back on Saturday to bring my other son before football! We will be coming back for more services!!
