I went to Mikaela G for a treatment and a blowout and she was amazing, so nice and incredible at what she does! Definitely recommend seeing her! read more

Once again, as many times before, I recently had a great experience at this beauty school. I left with my hair looking so much better after a student haircut, and I've been very impressed with the students I've met. I request appointments with the more experienced students, who will graduate soon. A supervisor (one of the educators at TSPA) will make any needed corrections to your service. If you make your next appointment as you check out, you may be able to book with the same student... or not. If the student will be graduating soon, the only continuity is having the current student set you up with someone they like who isn't as far along in the program. This is a nice touch Can't beat the price or experience for a wash, cut, and blow dry. And there are many more services available. read more

I have to unfortunately update my review to 2 stars because my recent experience turned out horrible and I will not be returning. I am not going to name the individual who worked on me to be respectful to her, but I will say the girl who colored and styled my hair needs a lot more training before she is ready to really work on hair. I left with hair dye all over my forehead, my sideburns were soaked with dye and behind my neck by that wasn't the worst of it. I didn't notice how much dye was left in my hair until I got to my car and started running my fingers through my hair. But I was wondering how the hair stylist working on me didn't notice the dye all over my face? Also, my curls, if you can call them that - turned out horrible with tons of frizz on the top of my head, I absolutely hated the way my hair turned out, total waste of money and time. I walked out spending $125 on a single color process, deep conditioning, styling and a hair product - way too much if you ask me for how things turned out. I understand these people are in training and I get that. The prior hair stylist who worked on my hair at this salon did a great job, but she graduated and suggested this newer gal. I trusted the process, but the process didn't turn out well at all. I will say the new gal who worked on me was kind. I am sure she was trying to do her best, but when dealing with someone's hair the basics like being removing all the dye out of someone's hair so it doesn't stick to their face and remain gooey in their hair is imperative - I needed to really wash my hair when I got home, also knowing how to do basic curls in someone's hair should be fundamental - the gal who worked in me had no idea how to curl hair at all. For those wondering why I didn't say anything during my visit, when I looked in the mirror and saw what a mess my hair was, I just wanted to get out and leave and just never come back, which I won't. Then when I went to the register to get rung up it took forever as I was standing their waiting because they were training another lady how to use the register. I believe I realized while I appreciate the lower price point on service at the salon academy, and understand most of the people working their are in training, it's simply not worth it to me to work with people in training who don't really know what they are doing yet, with the risk of messing up my hair and then walking out unhappy. I would rather pay a higher premium working with an experienced stylist knowing I am walking out feeling good with nice hair. I will not be returning to the salon Acedemy in Georgetown. read more

The Salon Professional Academy - Horrible photo of me after getting my hair done @Salon Acedemy in Georgetown -crown of my head has hair dye & frizzy hair everywhere - Cosmetology Schools Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

I came here for the first time last week and got my haircut by Sadie and she did a great job and took her time! I loved the turnout! Came back here today to get a pedicure (by someone else - can't remember her name). It was awful. She literally told me she's into doing hair and not pedicures. Also said she lost her scrubber thing so didn't even use a foot file or anything on my feet?? That's the main thing I wanted when getting a pedicure. The water was barely even "warm". I had like 4 colors to choose from. And the polish was all over my skin ‍. She was a nice girl so I didn't complain to her about it but just kept thinking in the back of my head once the "educator" comes to check her work she will at least have her clean up the polish. But nope she said "looks good" and left. Oh, the girl who did my pedicure told me it was $15; I go to the counter to pay and this lady says it's $25? I still tipped her anyway.. so $30 wasted bc I had to go home and take the polish off and repaint myself. Would not recommend coming here for pedis. read more

Maggie has done an amazing job learning my hair type and style. She has greatly improved my color by matching my complexion and covering my grey. The photo shows a face frame , conditioning treatment and thermal and got rave reviews from friends. She has recommended product that makes the most of my natural curls and extending the life of the color. I highly recommend this professional young woman to anyone in need of a new style, new look or just a fresh cut. The value for the price cannot be beat! read more

I had my hair heavily low lighted by a young lady Sandie Falcon and she did exactly what I articulated I wanted done to my hair. Impressive were the instructors. They were very attentive to their students, cared what they were doing, were readily available to help students, and gave clear instructions when needed. I will be going back. Price and quality was exceptional, and this is a school!! read more

Ask for Mikaela! I wanted a partial highlight but wasnt sure on specifics. She asked how I style my hair, what products I use, how often I wanted to come back in and by my answers gave me great suggestions on what to do. She showed me photos of tone types to choose and created something better than I was thinking. She explained the whole process and again while doing it. The whole process took exactly the time she quoted. Her head massages while shampooing and toning were great! Im deffintely going back for all my hair needs. Thank you Mikaela! read more

Celeste did a great job with my cut and style. She's very gentle and efficient. Highly recommend!

I recently visited this beauty school and got my hair done by Jamie. I believe her last initial starts with a K. She was professional, patient, kind, clean, and personable. Best of all, she did an amazing job on my hair. She did highlights and a cut and it was a complete hair transformation. She is ready to spread her wings and fly but until then, I will happily visit again in the future in hopes she's still there to help me with my hair. The one thing I wish the salon portion of the school would do is add a tipping feature at checkout. read more

My visit to TSPA was absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere inside the building was very welcoming, and my stylist was just as welcoming. Celeste, my stylist, works with me and told me about TSPA, so I came to get a simple haircut. When I walked in, I was greeted and given a tour of the building. She treated me like we were long time friends all while still being professional and performed exceptionally, even with my challenging hair that I was told about by the educator! I didn't catch the educator's name, but she too was also very friendly and polite, and both of them made my visit a fantastic experience to remember! Even everyone else, whom all of them not once gave expressions of not wanting to be there, which is hard to encounter in my experience! A very lively place with very hard working and focused students that if I could rate 6 stars out of 5, I totally would! Great job everyone! read more

Loved this place! Great services at great prices! I have used Jamie 3 times already and will be following her when she graduates. Check it out!! read more

had a wonderful experience today! Elliana S was amazing!!! Will definitely come back!!

I had Ciara and she was very pleasant, efficient and capable. The educators were great. If you haven't been, give it a try!

Came in with an inspo photo and not quite sure how to scribe it but (like always) it turned out amazing! Thank you, Hannah

Hannah did an amazing job on my root touch up and curly haircut. Was as good as I've had at high end salons. And she's a delight! Service was great from the time I walked in all the way through checkout. Super clean and everyone was warm and welcoming. read more

I've been coming here for root touch ups for years. They do a great job for a great price. The students are professional and supervised.

Hannah is the sweetest and bubbliest girl I've ever met! it was a pleasure to have her wash, cut, and style my hair for me. I got exactly what I asked for and will 100% be asking for her the next time I come back. read more

Elissa was great . I love my hair it feels soft and the cut was perfect . She was nice and attentive

It was wonderful!!! Celeste is awesome, courteous, and accommodating to my requests:)

i have been a student at tspa for about 4 months now and i love it here! they go over how important it is to learn the business sides of cosmetology and have prepared us for things like the level/summit system, as well as social media and how to use it to your advantage. i am also so grateful to each of the educators here as they have all played a big role in helping me grow and build my confidence as a stylist! read more

Great haircut, and a great experience! Would recommend asking for Maggie, she's great!

The Salon Professional Academy - Great job by Haven! - Cosmetology Schools Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

I made an appointment with SPA Georgetown after seeing a friend of mine who had gotten her hair cut there. I cannot afford to splurge on self care at the moment so this sounded too good to be true. I was aware it was a school but was assured that the experts are around to help as needed. I showed up the time of my appointment and the energy was high in the salon full of eager students. My stylist, Ezra came to get me and she listened to what I wanted done and she got to work. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint!! I went in for a big chop and she cut a lot of length off. She gave me life back, not just into my hair, but into my soul. I wanted to post before and after photos but I don't have before ones, however I now have many afters. :) Ezra was super sweet, thorough and talented! Can't wait to see where she goes! read more

Avoid this salon at all cost... I try to be understanding because this is an academy but mistakes or bad choices on the stylists end should be corrected. My daughter wanted highlights, despite having only had a small amount of color in her hair years ago she learned she has red undertones and she informed the stylist about this and provided an example picture of what she would like. The stylist chose a color, but failed to inform my daughter that it would lift differently on dark hair, not knowing this my daughter agreed to the color. After coloring her hair, they informed her that they had to give a mandatory lunch to the students and could she leave and return for her cut at 5:00. She left with wet hair and realized it looked brassy with red undertones. When she returned, they didn't put her with the same stylist, so she spoke to the stylist who was to do her cut. She agreed with my daughter and stated she would have done about it differently. My daughter spoke to an educator who informed her that they would have to charge an additional charge to fix the coloring, stating it would be an extension to her earlier service. After speaking to a second educator who reinforced that to fix the issue would be an additional charge the educator brought out a hair chart and held a color swatch up to my daughters hair stating that this was the color she agreed to and it matched her hair. My daughter corrected her letting her know that the color chart she had in her hand was NOT the chart she was shown. My daughter then pointed to the chart on the stylists station and pointed to the hair sample she did choose....proving in fact that the color used was WRONG! If stylists aren't educating customers about color reactions with different colored hair, educators aren't educating their stylists. They shouldn't charge more for their mistakes. Fix it. None of this should have happened, a mistake was made and the educator should have taken accountability for it instead of trying to put blame on my daughter stating she agreed to a specific color when in actuality the wrong color was used. Do better The Salon Professional Academy Georgetown. read more

I feel like I had the bait and switch trick done on me at this salon . Less than one month ago I had my roots which were less than a quarter inch colored, only roots which their price is $37. This time which was less than a month later, the stylist said I needed two bowls of color to cover the roots. Impossible physics as I have the same head as less than one month ago. I was not told there would be any extra charge and when I went to pay they charged me $57 versus what I just paid last month $37. I feel like it was an untruthf and unfair action either by the stylist doing too much and making it a two bowl instead of a one bowl which ups the price almost double. And the Salon itself handled it rudely by not solving the problem and giving me some kind of refund or gift card. Make sure you know what you're getting and what you have to pay. I won't be back. read more

Usually I read reviews here on Yelp first because they tend to be more accurate, but this time I somehow forgot and checked only Google. On Google, this place is somehow rated well. I have paid for my mistake in the hardest ways, both financially and with my appearance and hair health. I am not exaggerating when I say a color process took several hours or that I now have about half the hair and my ponytail looks anemic. Even in the salon, I observed a pile of long strands of my hair on the floor. At first I thought after all that time and money that my hair looked the same as before I came in, but now I witness in every encounter with a mirror that it's soooo much worse. I thought my roots were still dark, but in fact they have a slightly orange yellow tint to them because they were not lifted enough. I have random spots of bleach on my head and my hair overall is 3-4 different colors. There are tiny baby hairs that stick up all over the place after an abundance of breakage. I wouldn't have even let them pay me the amount I paid for this in order to practice on my hair. How are the instructors not embarrassed to be part of this and sign off on the results? Even if I were somehow refunded, which I read in another review is refused, they couldn't pay me back for what they've done to my body and how I feel about my appearance. It would take a lot more money, time, and damage to my last bits of hair to try to correct this elsewhere. Don't take the risk!!! I would give more details but I don't want the gossipy young ladies to talk about me, though they may anyway as they try to guess who wrote this, assuming they even care enough to read reviews! Trust that my hair looks super ugly and I am filled with regret and resentment every time I see it, then even more disturbed thinking that I paid for this disservice. The main reason I didn't revisit the licensed professional stylist who did my hair the time before this is because she was making racist comments, not about me, but other races. Unfortunately, I still experienced this at The Salon (Definitely NOT) Professional Academy too. Girls, you should not be talking badly about anybody for any reason or generalizing that one or a few of a group represents everyone with a common characteristic. You have much to learn morally as well as about hair. May you continue to educate yourself on how to do hair much better even after you graduate from this place and somehow achieve your cosmetology license (which is obviously way too easy!) For now, you're headed straight for Great Clips or the like. read more

Avoid this academy!! My friend and I got overcharged for a color that wasn't even professionally done. They rush their students and my friend left with wet hair. Very unprofessional. read more

Long-time client -- service has declined, and leadership is disrespectful! I've been going to Salon Professional Academy in Georgetown, TX, since 2021, mostly for a shampoo and blow-dry. I've always understood that services can take longer with newer students--that's the purpose of a teaching salon--and the $12 price made the extra time acceptable. The students are usually great: eager, careful, and genuinely trying to learn. (Shout-out to Alex at the front desk--she's wonderful.) What has changed is the behavior and policies from the "learning leaders." During my last visit, I was told that the shampoo and blow-dry are billed per hour and was charged almost double what I always paid. When I asked them to review my payment history, the learning leader told me I should "say thank you" for paying less all this time and claimed that multiple front-desk staff over the last four years had been charging incorrectly. It was not a "new" policy; it's always been hourly, and she said that "everyone at the front desk" had made mistakes with multiple clients over the years. She was extremely rude and unprofessional--pricing should be posted, clear, and consistent, not hidden or sprung on loyal clients. Most visits, the service is inconsistent--I almost always leave with **frizzy, unfinished hair** and end up doing a touch-up at home. That was *barely tolerable* at \$12 because I was supporting students and calibrating expectations. But being **spoken to rudely about pricing** and told I should be "thankful" for past charges erased any goodwill. I honestly don't understand how this place has such glowing Google reviews--my experience has been the opposite. Additional problems: Inflexible policies over lunch: I've seen other reviews about guests being asked to leave with wet hair if a service runs into lunch. At other schools (e.g., Paul Mitchell), leaders step in to help students finish--they don't punish the guest. Aggressive product upselling: The constant push to sell Redken products makes the experience feel sales-driven rather than educational. Appointment bait-and-switch: My appointments have been changed multiple times without notice. I was confirmed with a specific student on Wednesday, then showed up on Thursday and was assigned to someone else at check-in--they blamed it on "the computer." That breaks trust when you're supporting a particular student's learning. It's disappointing because the students deserve better leadership. In my experience, the learning leaders are now the weakest part of this academy; the few respectful ones I met earlier no longer seem to be there. Bottom line: Until management improves pricing transparency, scheduling reliability, and basic courtesy-- and actually supports students (rather than cutting them off or scolding loyal clients)--I cannot recommend this location. I truly hope they course-correct--for the sake of the students and the guests who want to support them. The academy is rude and unprofessional--especially for a teaching environment that should model good customer service. read more

I went to Salon Professional for hair color a few weeks ago. Ezra Sanchez did a fantastic job on matching my color and applying the color to cover all my roots even the little hair around my face.

My experience comes from the point of view of a male with the understanding that the work performed is by students that are supervised by an instructor and with the full understanding that the students are in different phases of their programs. If you're looking for a top-notch hair coloring experience, look no further than The Salon Professional Academy Georgetown! On my recent visit, I had the pleasure of being pampered by Taylor and several of her talented teammates. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and friendly conversation. It was clear that the team at The Salon Professional Academy Georgetown is passionate about making their clients feel comfortable and at ease. The instructor overseeing Taylor and her team was nothing short of professional, paying close attention to every detail of my hair coloring. I was particularly impressed by their ability to work with multiple colors, especially considering that it can be challenging to lift color from my hair. However, Taylor and her team were up to the challenge and delivered a stunning result. I have visited The Salon Professional Academy Georgetown a few times now and have been consistently impressed by the level of skill and creativity demonstrated by the students. They truly have a gift for hair and are always eager to showcase their talents. In Taylor's capable hands, I was able to achieve a look that was not only beautiful but also tailored to my individual style and preferences. The pictures that were taken of my new look are living proof of the amazing job she and her team did. I was thrilled with the end result and can't wait to go back again for a haircut. In conclusion, The Salon Professional Academy Georgetown offers a fantastic hair coloring experience that is both professional and personal. If you're in need of a new look, I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Came in for highlights on march 27th and loved the experience however the highlights around the framing of my face wasn't centered, I didn't notice this until my hair was dry. I asked my student if she could just add a "money piece" around the face to eliminate the visible harsh line that was there. Because I spent so much time there already we agreed that I would go home and sleep on it then come back the next day it it was still bothering me. When I went to my car I stared in the mirror and it was genuinely bothering me so I went inside again and asked if they could fix it really quick. The owner, a teacher and a gentleman were all extremely dismissive and unwilling to help me. I hadn't even left the parking lot but wanted to charge me for a service again to fix it? The ladies walked away from me seeking 0 resolution. So I ultimately said I'll live with it for now, give my hair some time to recover from the bleaching and add the money piece when I come back for my toning appointment. I come back today 4/12 and I have been barred from services? Shame. I enjoyed supporting the students and obviously the price point for the salon. A simple disagreement which could have been handled with so much more grace and compassion. Not sure why this situation which had nothing to do with students would warrant barring me from the salon entirely. Crazy! read more
