The students providing the services are great, and seem very excited to learn and gain experience. People are prompt and it is easy to get an appointment last minute! The areas where services are provided seem dirty and almost medical looking. There are stains on the curtains and the tools seem old/ outdated or just over used. hope these will be modernized/ updated at some point!

My friend went here to get her hair done for her graduation party, and let me tell you I don't like to be rude. But if I'm spending over $100 to get my hair done the way I want it. And it doesn't get done the way I showed you I would not be happy. So she went and got her hair done and it cost over $100, she came out with the same color hair does she came in with. She sent me a picture of her hair and it was like blonder than blonde and then all of a sudden it was right back to where it was, no highlights no nothing that she wanted. I would not recommend here if you have a preference of what your hair wants to look like.

The Salon Professional Academy has unbeatable prices, fun and friendly teachers, and they use RedKen hair products! The facility is bright, very modern looking, and clean. Cierra was very welcoming, funny, and encouraging. And, she cut my hair like a pro! Thank you so much for a great visit, Cierra!

I have been going here for over a year. I have had three different technicians, they all have been great. My newest is Lexi, she's a natural with highlights and I'm very happy with her cutting too. I'll be staying with her until she graduates.

LaMonica was knowledgeable, professional, courteous, personable, and gave me a fantastic haircut. She explained the products I could be using on my curly, thick hair; and recommended how often I should have it cut to keep it healthy.

Trina B was attentive and communicative. She even looked for advice when she wasn't sure how to repeat a technique a teacher showed her to make sure she got it right. She asked me how I thought things looked and made sure I was happy with the cut, eyebrow wax and pedicure. She will be great come October when she graduates.
