We stopped by Flagler College while visiting St. Augustine and honestly it's worth a walk around…read more The grounds are really well kept and pretty to just stroll through. The standout is definitely the main dome building inside. The interior is genuinely stunning, like the kind of place that makes you feel like you're in Europe somewhere rather than Florida. We were not expecting that at all. We also happened to walk through the quad right as some kind of dunk tank event was going on where students were getting people to pay to try to dunk faculty members. We had no idea what was going on but we stopped and watched for a while because how could you not? If you're already in St. Augustine it's an easy and free thing to add to your day. Just walk around, admire the beauty, and hope you get lucky enough to catch something fun happening on campus like we did.

I called to get an appointment and she was sick but she was so kind she came in the next day and I was the first client. I was impressed because she was nice, inviting, and friendly despite being sick. I absolutely love my hair!! I opted for a natural up-do as well and as I told her I liked volume and curls in my face, she knew exactly how to shape my style. The style is beautiful and I did not have to wait to be serviced. The prices are unmatched and I'm glad to have found someone I can trust with my natural hair!

I felt like I had to wear a hat in public prior to my appointment. The moment that TIFFANY greeted me she showed a big smile and welcomed me to her chair. Tiffany even was "glad" to style my hair after I said I would leave with it wet due to being thick and unruly. She cared about the outcome of hair and showed me new products as well as stated what products that she liked that I was already using as not to make my hair appointment cost double due to having purchase all new products.

I go in to each haircut knowing that it is a student and that sometimes things can happen, also, it's just hair so if something does happen I'm not upset. I have had many great experiences here with multiple different students. The one thing I will say is that the education is not what it used to be. And I've learned this through chatting with students and being a guest of PM for many years. I really wish they would take the time to go back to teaching how to massage and wash hair. That is really the best part of any service.

Since the current times we live in require a second mortgage to cover the cost of a dozen eggs, I'm…read morelooking for ways to cut costs where I can. I heard about Paul Mitchell's services and found out Wednesdays is $5 for men's haircut so I took advantage. I knew it was a school and I knew it would be a student doing it. What's the worst that could happen? It's only $5 and my hair will grow back in a couple of weeks. Both student and instructor did great. It was the first time the student did a "skin fade," but the instructor was right there every step of the way making sure everything looked uniform. Was it the best haircut I've ever received? No, but everyone has to learn, plus it's only $5! Literally cheaper than a dozen eggs at the moment.

I received a complimentary shampoo and blowout, and it felt like a mini spa day. All of the services are performed by students working toward their licenses, so I recommend coming with some extra time and a little patience -- they're still learning, and that's part of the charm. The salon itself is adorable, buzzing with energy from both students and patrons. The prices are incredibly affordable, making it easy to treat yourself without breaking the bank. I'll definitely be rebooking with Kylie -- she did a wonderful job, and I'm so excited to support her on her journey to becoming an experienced stylist!
