The teachers are amazingly patient, hands on, and helpful. Every single instructor (including the owner herself) go above and beyond to ensure you understand every single step and process you'll be tested on. They also teach you the best techniques. I can attest to this by seeing how easily I breezed through my exam with time to spare and seeing other students from different schools faltering during theirs. To anyone looking for a place to get your license, look no further than this school. Enjoy your time with them because they are hands down no contest the very best.

She did full head, which took around 3 hours, and did an amazing job. She was very helpful in picking out colors and pretty much doing exactly what I wanted. And she was great to talk to as well. I don't think I could have asked for more even if I was paying. However, this was free too! This was an absolutely fantastic experience for me! I hope they'll want to use me again in the future (another apprentice offered to cut my hair soon).

When I wanted to get a fresh new shorter cut I was surprised to see that there aren't any Toni and Guys in NYC -- but I found the Tigi Academy...and found CHRISTOPHER. I already trust the Toni and Guy/Tigi family -- because they are always on top of the latest trends. I did not do the model exchange -- I wanted to pay for an amazing haircut and have an amazing experience. That, I did. Not only is the Academy in a really cool and ritzy party of town - with a great view - But it was clean, modern and every single person there was friendly to me. I am always nervous about paying a good chunk of change for a haircut -- but wellll worth it! The first time around Christopher cut 9 inches off and he made me feel confident and he took control and I loved the result. It was cute right then, and was cute when it grew out. I've already gone back for a second cut. He's my man!

Today I heard Ms. Candace say "Thank God she is graduating" because she is rude and I filed several complaints on her! Furthermore, she says these things to other students creating a hostile atmosphere for me and other students like me! These women enjoy picking on and bullying their students and staff and this is why their teachers keep quitting! Ms. Candace also writes up her teachers for having family members come in to have their hair cut by students but yesterday had her own family member in there doing the same exact thing! They told students my business which was confidential information to add insult to injury! When trying to conduct a service with client teachers force their students to do it their way even if it goes against everything they taught us in the classrooms just to have a power trip or make you look like an incompetent stylist!

Looking for a place to get a blowout? And no, boys, I mean a hair blow-dry--get your minds out of…read morethe gutter! AVEDA Institute is a great spot. It's a training school, so you'll have students doing your hair, and while they're working toward their certification, they're not compensated beyond tips--so remember to tip! They offer hairstyling, color treatments, and even facials, which are fantastic. Just be mindful of which level student you book with--since they're still learning, it can take a bit longer, and it might not be perfect, but it's great for simple services like blowouts (aka blow-drys). The students are super sweet, eager to please, and honestly do a great job. For a blow-dry, I paid around $25-30 with a tip, which is such a steal compared to what you'd normally pay in NYC. I've also had facials done there and they were wonderful--just ask for more experienced students when booking if you're nervous about that. I highly recommend AVEDA for a mini spa day that won't break the bank. It's not a Groupon deal--it's actually half the price of regular salons and spas in the city!

Today i went in for a color touch-up, something I had done about 6 times before. A dumpy, stocky, barrel of a woman in red lipstick started screaming me out for not know color codes. And not having a photograph of what was done in the past. What a nsaty attitude and a scream down in the middle of the salon. Reprimanding me about not knowing these are students and I SHOULD KNOW WHAT TO ASK FOR. Excuse me? I am paying $72 dollars for a service. Even if its student, I expect a bare minimum of service for my money. You are not doing clients a favor. Clients are doing you a favor to sit there for 5 hours so your students can make an absolute mess of their hair and then pay $72. Onto the students. The quality of students they have have zero competence. Again a bare minimum is expected when you charge $72. The students are so incompetent that they have no busienss even being students in any area. The school is doing a very poor job recruiting students. Most of the times you leave the insititute worse than you came in. The students dont give a rat's tail what they do. They are too much in a rush to sit and play with their iphones Lastly, they downright destroy your hair. During my blowdry she yanked so much of the hair out. I came out with a splitting headache. And after all this more of a surprise: A service that I expected to pay 50$ for came up to $62 plus 10$ tip. I could' ve gone to a professionals salon for this price. What a horrible experience.

As a current student, I feel it's important to share some concerns about the way this school treats…read moreits students. Recently, we received an email stating that students are not permitted to enter classrooms before the scheduled class time so that instructors can "prepare the learning environment." However, in reality, many professors arrive exactly at the start time or even after class is supposed to begin. Meanwhile, students are expected to stand in hallways or find somewhere else to go even when we arrive early after work to study. The only alternative spaces are the library or cafeteria, both of which have very limited seating. It feels unreasonable to pay out of pocket for an education and not even be allowed to sit in an empty classroom while waiting. We then received another email about elevator use, which is understandable for accessibility reasons. However, the message stated that misuse could result in parent/guardian contact. This is a school of adults, and many of us are parents ourselves. Including language like that clearly shows how little the administration thinks of its students and reinforces the feeling that we are treated like children rather than responsible adults paying for a professional education. Another major concern is the lack of respect and support from some faculty members. For example, Professor Jayne Kier is extremely unapproachable. Students feel uncomfortable asking questions because responses are often sarcastic, dismissive, or met with long, intimidating stares. There is little guidance provided, yet students are made to feel as though they are wrong for seeking help. This creates a stressful and discouraging learning environment. Lastly, it often feels like students cannot safely voice concerns. When issues are brought up to administration, they are dismissed as complaints rather than taken seriously even though many of us are committed, adult learners who care deeply about our education and future careers. It is incredibly disappointing to be treated this way as paying adult students. We invest our time, energy, and money into this program, yet we are treated as if we are receiving a free service and should simply accept it without question. The tone and treatment are not only disrespectful, they are humiliating.
