I have had my hair foiled here several times. Every experience has been a fabulous outcome and experience. The students are very talented and it shows at this stage of their education and the educators have been top in order to have a group of students so dedicated to take in the knowledge and use it for their success. I am grateful to be retired and allow students to use their skills with practice that will help prepare them for their career and future choices. It is a win win in my eyes.

I love this place. I've been there twice and both times my hair looked great after. First I got balayage and long layers. Second time I got a shoulder length cut with layers. The students are awesome and the cut/color/style you get is worth much more than the price you pay.
