    I've been for services from the students a couple times now! The prices are so low and my experience has always been great! I've gotten a brow wax and a few haircuts. I do think it's important that you have some flexibility and patience since you are working with students, things take a little longer as they need instructor approval before and after each service :)
    Products feel nice and smell great. The waiting room didn't have enough seats last time I was there. Students are all so cool and fashionable. I always leave feeling like a million bucks despite spending less than $20. Wish they let us tip the students!!!

    I had an amazing haircut and facial from Ronnie W! They had never done Locs before, but with the help of Corey, their instructor, they were able to get my hair looking so fresh and so clean!

    I had my balayage and haircut done here by Annalise, and I am beyond impressed with the results! Even though it’s a learning environment, she was so professional, attentive, and really took the time to listen to what I wanted. My balayage has such a gorgeous, seamless blend, and the cut gave my hair new life. You would never guess she's still a student. Thank you, Annalise, for such a wonderful experience:)
