I have to unfortunately update my review to 2 stars because my recent experience turned out…read morehorrible and I will not be returning. I am not going to name the individual who worked on me to be respectful to her, but I will say the girl who colored and styled my hair needs a lot more training before she is ready to really work on hair. I left with hair dye all over my forehead, my sideburns were soaked with dye and behind my neck by that wasn't the worst of it. I didn't notice how much dye was left in my hair until I got to my car and started running my fingers through my hair. But I was wondering how the hair stylist working on me didn't notice the dye all over my face? Also, my curls, if you can call them that - turned out horrible with tons of frizz on the top of my head, I absolutely hated the way my hair turned out, total waste of money and time. I walked out spending $125 on a single color process, deep conditioning, styling and a hair product - way too much if you ask me for how things turned out. I understand these people are in training and I get that. The prior hair stylist who worked on my hair at this salon did a great job, but she graduated and suggested this newer gal. I trusted the process, but the process didn't turn out well at all. I will say the new gal who worked on me was kind. I am sure she was trying to do her best, but when dealing with someone's hair the basics like being removing all the dye out of someone's hair so it doesn't stick to their face and remain gooey in their hair is imperative - I needed to really wash my hair when I got home, also knowing how to do basic curls in someone's hair should be fundamental - the gal who worked in me had no idea how to curl hair at all. For those wondering why I didn't say anything during my visit, when I looked in the mirror and saw what a mess my hair was, I just wanted to get out and leave and just never come back, which I won't. Then when I went to the register to get rung up it took forever as I was standing their waiting because they were training another lady how to use the register. I believe I realized while I appreciate the lower price point on service at the salon academy, and understand most of the people working their are in training, it's simply not worth it to me to work with people in training who don't really know what they are doing yet, with the risk of messing up my hair and then walking out unhappy. I would rather pay a higher premium working with an experienced stylist knowing I am walking out feeling good with nice hair. I will not be returning to the salon Acedemy in Georgetown.

I came here for the first time last week and got my haircut by Sadie and she did a great job and…read moretook her time! I loved the turnout! Came back here today to get a pedicure (by someone else - can't remember her name). It was awful. She literally told me she's into doing hair and not pedicures. Also said she lost her scrubber thing so didn't even use a foot file or anything on my feet?? That's the main thing I wanted when getting a pedicure. The water was barely even "warm". I had like 4 colors to choose from. And the polish was all over my skin ‍. She was a nice girl so I didn't complain to her about it but just kept thinking in the back of my head once the "educator" comes to check her work she will at least have her clean up the polish. But nope she said "looks good" and left. Oh, the girl who did my pedicure told me it was $15; I go to the counter to pay and this lady says it's $25? I still tipped her anyway.. so $30 wasted bc I had to go home and take the polish off and repaint myself. Would not recommend coming here for pedis.

I was incorrectly charged a $150 tuition fee that should not have been applied to my account…read more Because repeated attempts to reach the facility by phone were unsuccessful, I had to drive 40 minutes to the location to address the issue in person. Unfortunately, my experience upon arrival was extremely disappointing. While seeking assistance with obtaining a refund, I was met with unprofessional behavior from the front desk staff. The employee repeatedly raised her voice, talked over me while I was attempting to speak, called me "snotty," and laughed at me while I was simply requesting to speak with the individual who had the authority to process my refund. Rather than attempting to help resolve the issue, I felt that my concerns were dismissed and that I was treated with a lack of respect and talked down to. The individual stated that because she is the mother of the owner that her actions " are no surprise" and nothing would be done. As a parent, this interaction raised serious concerns about the professionalism and conduct of the staff. I would expect employees who work with children and families to demonstrate patience and respect in all interactions. The behavior I experienced did not reflect that. This has affected my confidence in the facility's ability to care for children. Based on the way I was treated and the ongoing difficulty reaching anyone by phone, I would not feel comfortable leaving my child in their care, especially knowing that I may be unable to reach someone in the event of an emergency. Reliable communication is essential when parents entrust others with the care and safety of their children.
