Don't waste your time here. My student openly admitted to me that she didn't like doing color (which is what I was getting done) and that she is only finishing the program so she wouldn't be out a bunch of her money. She was on her phone a ton and even left me with foils in because she "wanted a break". She was NOT professional at all and honestly didn't do the best job (it's not easy to mess up an ombre, so overall it looks alright plus my hair is curly so it's easy to hide). She didn't even cut my hair because she didn't know what she was doing (the instructor took over and cut it all). I still tipped her well over 20% only because I work in the service industry and understand that everyone has bad days but come on Empire staff; why would you put someone with a huge request (color, foils, and a cut) with a student who doesn't want to be there? Needless to say I was terrified about my hair getting drastically botched AND if anyone needs an ombre, I am pretty sure I am more qualified to do one than my hair dresser considering the instructor held her hand very tightly during each and every step. read more
