Horrible school to its customers! I took my 8 and 12 year old daughter's to get their hair done and…read morespend some time with them. I called b4 I arrived and was told that wash n curl was $10. When we arrived the (Student stylist) who I found out later was a (Teacher) had a visible attitude and told me my 12 yr old's hair would now be $30. I didn't want to argue, so I got it done. My daughter told me the (teacher) was very rough on her hair while washing and twisting her neck! I didn't find out any of this until later when I called the school. With my 8yr old I was told again that her hair would be $30. I had, had enough. The school who's students are practicing their skills should not be charging what a professional salon charges! Also, my daughters hair lasted for 2 days total. Her regular (Dominican)salon which charges the same pricing, lasts for 2 weeks. A representative then came out and said the school isn't making any money off of the hair and this is just to keep the lights on. Well, Professionals charge the same amount and manage to make a profit so someone is getting the short end of the scheme! We left without my daughter having her hair done. When I called later to get the email so I could send a letter, The same representative from before yelled at me, was very irritated accused me of trying to get a free hairdo, which I told her no one from her school would ever do my daughters hair and again. Then she told me if I sent an email she would receive it anyway! So I hope someone reads about this scamming school who's teachers must not make enough money and have to take off the top! If anyone knows the owner please post there information, I would love to speak with them.

Just like the last cosmetology school I went to, make sure you have at least an hour to get a hair cut and dry- there will be NO rushing here since all major cuts and decisions need to be cleared with the trainers. This place is a little rough around the edges (cheap decor, a little gossipy...) but the cut and assistance of the master stylist was good. And again, $6 haircut and blow dry? Can't beat it with a stick. My hairdresser student Vanessa took her time, talked to me about what I was trying to do in the future with my hair and was chatty- but not overly so. The only thing that's a little bizarre to watch is that the students not working on human clients are busy completing scenarios on their dummy heads at their stations. Imagine a room full of 15 hair stylists all working on mannequin heads...and you're the only human. Kinda strange. But- it's a beauty school, that's what they're supposed to be doing- hair! Most important thing to know about the place- they ONLY take cash. After labor and deliver (I'm 37 weeks pregger with #Dos) perhaps I'll go back for another cut and color.

However, this time I went was so horrible. The stylist was timid, and you could tell she was unprepared. She took 25 minutes to wash my hair and it took 45 minutes before she even began cutting. When she was "done" with the initial cut and went to get the teacher the one side was an inch and a half longer than the other. The teacher almost said I was good to go until I said something, and she then fixed it. However, my hair was now 2 inches shorter than originally planned. After that she went to frame my face. The one side was okay because the teacher guided her but the other side, she did a straight blunt cut of my hair from ear to face of another 2 inches. There was no framing just 2 inches gone from a part of my hair. Again, the teacher was going to leave but I mentioned the one side and she tried to fix it but couldn't/didn't. I now have a bad haircut without anything I can do but either cut it shorter or wait for it to grow, and cutting my whole hair means cutting another 2 inches (I asked for 1.5/2 inches total and that would have resulted in 6 inches off). This was also 2 hours, and I didn't even get my hair blow dried yet. This student should not have been allowed to work on humans yet. It was obvious she was not confident to work on my hair and obvious she didn't have the skills to work on a real person. I'm upset the school even let her work on my hair and that a teacher didn't take over as soon as they realized the cut was uneven from the beginning.
