I don't think this qualifies as a review, but we'll see where it leads me. 2 maybe 3 weeks ago I was changing handbags & found a piece of paper with a suggestion to try Salon Success. I've been there several times before & always received great service. However this note suggested that I have a student by the name of "Sequina P" do my hair. Is she a student there? If so I'd like to make an appointment with her. I think I must have commented a ladies hair while shopping. In Faith & Appreciation M. UPDATE: Sequina is a student at the Redlands Salon Success & I have an appt for Thursday 1-18124. SALON SUCCESS REDLANDS STYLIST SEQUINA P. Service date 1/18/24 Words can not express how wonderful my hair experience was with Seqina. She was fantastic at washing my hair and massaging my scalp. That's the true test of a good stylist!!! I wanted a complete hair color change. She understood what I wanted was knowledgeable about the colors, and asked the lead instructor about my hair color change, she made wonderful suggestions with the help of the lead Instructor, the style and we went for it. The entire time I was with her was enjoyable. I knew I was in good hands.. My only problem is that she has three weeks before she graduates.... What will I do now!!! Please give her a try I'm certain you will not be disappointed! M. Hill Suggestion why aren't the letters white? read more

First, let me start by saying I wish I could leave ZERO stars. This school was an absolute nightmare. I attended about 5 years ago and the staff was rude, unprofessional, and extremely difficult to deal with. I ultimately left during COVID after being pressured to perform a pedicure on another student while I was pregnant, despite both of us being uncomfortable with the situation . The teach completely lost her marbles when we showed concerned . I understand hands-on practice is part of cosmetology school, but there is a difference between learning and being pressured or made to feel punished for setting a boundary. Fast forward 5 years later, I'm simply trying to obtain my transcripts, and once again I'm getting the runaround--now being told I need to pay around $700?! Yeah... right. Unfortunately, my experience with this school has been consistently disappointing, both then and now. I would seriously encourage anyone considering attending to do their research first. read more

This was my first visit to this school and I plan on going back. I got a mani/pedi from Natalie and she was superb! She treated me like a customer she has had for a long time. Her customer service, smile and putting up with my small talk was fantastic. Her hygiene practices were top notch. The school itself was clean and equipment used looked sanitized. The receptionist greeted me as soon as I walked in. Great place to go when you want to give your checkbook a break. read more

I always go to this place and we'll always go back. Thank you so very much for everything and wish all of you a very safe and happy holidays . read more

They were going to charge me the same amount as a licensed Salon with Licensed and usually highly experienced Cosmotoligists! People go to Beauty colleges to save money and understand that they are basically guinea pigs and at risk of have their hair turned to spaghetti. Who in their right mind would pay hundreds of dollars to be a Lab Rat!$:( read more

I am so satisfied with the service I received at This Salon Success Academy in Redlands. I have to give a big shoutout to Ms.Christy The beautiful tall blonde who is running this school the right way. I have an insane amount of hair and rather than turning me away she turned it into a teaching lesson and class effort. Even though Ms. Diana did a lot of the hard work everyone who touched my hair was amazing. Ms. Tiana also was really nice and gladly stayed overtime to finish me up. I really lucked out and I owe them all a sweet favor forsure. The vibe was cool and comfortable the 2 Students Jade and Melody were very sweet and had a can do attitude when they were asked to join in on the project . MIRACLES HAPPENED HERE!! read more

I requested a calico style hair color just bleach and toner Sydney did my hair was amazing very patient and understanding with everything. walking in to check in I asked for her specifically and the principal her self said she doesn't know who that is and to checkin and sit down. it was very rude and poor customer service. how do you not know who's working/learning from your school. I understand it was busy but I was a paying client. Not only that my appt got cancelled while I was there cause the principal gave someone else to her when my hairstylist said she has someone already waiting (me) . The teachers there never teach or help/give guidance when they are asked and agreed to do so. One teacher offered to help and never did. While Sydney was doing my hair the teachers would come up and question her telling her she should've done it a different way knowing full and well she ask for guidance that never came. They ignored her. I had to go back 3times cause there was no help just rushing. they told her my second time there, time was up and I HAD TO GO WASH MY HAIR AT HOME. My hair was wet with toner. I've never experienced such poor teamwork. The end result was amazing and Sydney works beautifully under pressure Poor vibes from the Principal and teachers they need to work on teaching and guidance and respectful customer service Sydney did everything right and was amazing and patient this was her first time doing a Calico coloring read more

Using the salon services is a no-brainer. The students get practice and the client gets expert care with a teacher on hand if needed. I use the salon for waxing and facials (face & back). The students get to practice their skills, get experience working with a client as well as how to interact. It is a win for everyone. read more

Amazing service! Kristy the instructor assisted me in booking the appointment (It was a rush for me) and she was able to fit me in the very same day. She's super sweet and very professional. She's also very attentive to all her students and customers. My Hairstylist was Zynia (@Hairby.Zynia) she was really nice, knowledgeable and did an amazing job. I had dyed my hair red at home using Red box dye. All I wanted was for it to be one solid color (Black) and she delivered for sure. They style and cut your hair with the color service you buy. However, I came in really late (they were able to fit me in last minute) and she was not able to style or cut it. Kristy made sure to set my appointment up for Saturday for the free cut and style. I'm so happy with my hair! I learned so much for Zynia and my hair feels amazing! Thank you! I will definitely be coming again! read more

The teachers are so engaging and involved it's fun to see them interacting with students. Christy is awesome. You can tell how much she cares about her students. I would say "best kept secret", but I think everyone knows read more

Love how attentive each student is when doing hair as well as the instructors! Have gone in to get a color done despite the salon being full of clients, the student who attended me was patient and would do her best in keeping me calm when a instructor told her a color formula and she felt that I would not be too happy she did her best in matching my color that I wanted originally while asking for others opiniona as well! read more

I got my hair cut by Julia, I got regular layers and face framing curtain bangs. I believe she has since graduated but she did a great job and when she wasn't sure, she asked her teacher for help as to not make a mistake that couldn't be fixed. The Saturday afternoon I went, the students were having their graduation which was nice to be able to see them all very happy and dressed up! This made it extra busy and took about 2 hrs to get done as both the student and teachers were back and forth. Would definitely go back for my next cut! Hoping to maybe try something new or other services even! read more

Shampoo and condition for my Box bohemian Braids. I made an appointment to get my Braids serviced, not really knowing what to expect. I had my stylist Sequina P, take a look at my hair. She gave me a very thorough diagnosis of what was needed, and especially what to expect. Sequins told me step by step what she was doing. My stylist continuously made sure I was comfortable, and asked me if I had any concerns or sensitive issues. The final finish product was more than I expected. SEQINA did an Awesome job on my hair. I highly recommend her. She made my day!!! Salon Sucess Academy has another winner. read more
