One of three "chunks" taken out of my hair....by a TEACHER.
Lindsay W.

I've never had a bad experience with color, but with my recent haircut, I've decided I'm never going back (8+ year customer). To hasten the time (my stylist was moving slowly), a teacher stepped in to cut my hair. This teacher cut off chunks and asked me if I wanted "normal layers" or "classy" layers. When I went back in a week later to get my "layers" (aka chunks of hair) fixed, I got a lot of attitude from the owner. I only see a particular stylist now because she is wonderful, but when she graduates, I'm goin' with her. My greatest complaint is the lack of professionalism. The stylists bad mouth customers and each other while cutting hair and it makes me very uncomfortable. I get stares when I walk in, not greetings, and the owner has been not-nice more than once. As I said, I'm an 8+ year customer, and I keep coming back for the price and because I found two stylists that I really like. I'll probably go back one more time, and when my favorite stylist graduates, I'll be heading to a salon where professionals work.

Really happy with my haircut at Sono Academy! I recommend Dana, she is very attentive. The other stylists/students were great too from what I could see. $18 for a haircut and blow dry! Walked out smiling (used to $70+). Will definitely go back! I recommend calling in advance just to make sure there is availability. (203) 642-3600 Tip well :)

Some of the awesome products included in your kit!

Recently completed the make up artistry certification course and loved it! Dina and Sarah do an excellent job at preparing students for careers in the field. Engaging, informative, professional and most importantly, fun!

It's so strange, but their students do far better job cutting my hair than hair salons. Great service. Thank you.

I ended up going to SoNo Academy which was not a great experience, but when I called yesterday and…read moreexpressed my concern, they immediately took action and had me come to the salon to see Ashley who was able to fix my hair -- thank you so much for squeezing me. You really are a life saver!

I say this because when I went online to research and I looked up the Sono Hair Academy and their prices, the number I called and booked the appointment was for the Sono hair Academy and the address that I was given was apparently for Salon Etre unbeknown to me. So when I arrived at the salon, I was a little confused but figured OK wow this is nice. This is great. This is the salon portion of the academy. Almost immediately, I was talked into getting this $30 split end treatment, which was 'supposed to' last for three months. SCAM. It lasted maybe two washing? While the hairdresser did provide some good tips while cutting and drying my hair it definitely was not worth what I paid for as I was not expecting to be hit with a $90 charge. The whole point of me going to this salon was the expectation to be charged the Academy fee, which is what I saw online which was like $30. And the only reason I wanted to go to the Academy was because all I wanted was a trim because my hair is long and I just needed a little off the ends. It didn't even needed to be washed. So I walked out of there the $90 haircut plus the $30 split end treatment totaling $120 + tip! All this and I could've waited to go to my regular hairdresser‍

If you are looking for not only an amazing haircut but also a chill vibe mixed with professional…read moreand exquisite service then you have arrived at the place to go: Hair Lab! My appointment with Erick left me smiling from ear to ear and so happy with the cut I received. He took my homegrown self service haircare and elevated it to a level of modern freshness. And Erick's energy is so serene that you will leave feeling at peace with yourself as if you attended a yoga retreat!! It truly is a magical place! I entered with a cut that I had been hacking away with at home and emerged with style that was top notch and exactly what I had been wanting. I explained my parameters to Erick very loosely and then left the rest up to his professional expertise. He knew exactly which direction to go in to lighten my bob and give it the bounce and layers it so desperately needed. To me there is zero comparison to any other salon. No glitz. No fuss. Just pure hair cutting and styling that will make you feel a new sense of self and give you faith back in humanity as an added bonus!
