I went to this school after a friend told me to check it out. I asked for an experienced student that could help turn my shoulder length hair into a modern cut. They gave me a person named Megan. I must admit I have never colored my hair. But Megan thought a cut and some subtle highlights would look nice. I went with it, and I was very impressed with the results. I look and feel 5 year younger!! And not only did I leave looking good, but incredibly relaxed. She gave me a shampoo and a hand massage, which is included in the haircut price. Damn, I wish my friend told me to go here before. Megan also seemed to be more mature then some of the younger students in the school, so if you want a student that knows their trade and can also give you some good conversation, I'd recommend Megan. Megan told me she is moving to CA in August, so get in and see her while she's still there. WTF? I meet a good stylist and she is going to leave me? Women! ;-) So if you don't get Megan or if you go after August, just make SURE you ask for an experienced student, as I have heard horror story haircuts happen at this school too. Oh and one last thing, bring cash... I tried to tip Megan on my credit card and the lady at the front said I couldn't put the tip on my credit card... WTF? I was forced to give her just the spare $5 I had with me, and I felt like a cheap shmuck.

Pros: Free hand massages with your cut.

Cons: Steet parking, and you can't put a tip on a credit card.

I went in for a damage remedy with Dakota a few months ago. She was amazing! I had the most relaxing experience, and my damaged hair felt incredibily soft afterwards. She really took the time to pamper me and listen to my needs. I made a follow-up appointment for a color with Dakota, and was impressed yet again. Its amazing that students can do such a great job. She got me to the exact color I wanted. Request Dakota before she graduates!
