Can’t go wrong especially if you need your hair fine every month. Economical! Always get good client servicing from all students. Lately my hair is being done by Omar The Artist. Very happy and I continue to come here. ————- Great place, nice staff, premium hair care products used for a phenomenal price. I've been a regular here for over 3 years. There were a few hiccups in the past with dropped appointments but the last 3 visits have been honored and prompt. I suspect it had more to do with the girl I had and not the place itself. Be prepared to spend a little more time in the chair as this is a beauty school. Beauty products are offered and sold in the front as well. They rotate the stock and have it showcased and organized nicely. They have several monthly specials to take advantage of that are listed at the front desk. You can also ask what the specials are for both men and women when you call to make your appointment. The prices are exceptional for the time and products they use on you. Management, Teachers and staff are super friendly! Only one drawback is they are only open during the week and closed on weekends. But when you are prepared for that, it's not a big deal.
