prices are great but it really depends on who does your hair. first time i went in sandy was incredibly kind, bubbly and attentive to what I wanted, and cut my hair evenly, i loved her :) i went in for another trim a few days later, had another gamma hairstylist that was also very nice and i was happy with her work as i left the salon, but after I got home and showered i realized there were a few sections of my hair that were not symmetrical. one side of my bangs is way way too short and it doesn’t stay down without styling it. I can’t do anything about it now except grow it out unfortunately. besides this, everything is clean , they wash your hair and my trim was free because it was within two weeks of my first appointment. teachers are always checking in on their students, and I can tell many of these people do well with their clients and have a passion for hair styling, but the bangs situation is very upsetting even if it was accidental

I had my hair done here in October and it was done really, really well. I booked with that student again but that had to be rescheduled due a snowstorm. I rescheduled for 1:30 on a Monday and they changed it to 5:30 and switched the student the day before without notifying me. I definitely do not recommend working with the PM classes. The student was nice but did not understand the instructions. It was done wrong and quite a bit of my existing color was showing. The instructor agreed that it was incorrect but signed off on it being done anyway. I talked with the front desk and was told it would be a $20 charge to have it fixed the next day with a different student. She did okay with the color; it was much better than what the first student did but still not really what I asked for. She left my hair damp and frizzy, and used scented products after I requested they don't because they trigger migraines. The instructor signed off on it being done a second time. They charged me $50 instead of $20 to fix it, so I ended up paying $110 for a partially correct color job with no styling after. The first student I originally booked with in October was so talented and the instructor she had then was incredibly helpful. The second time and third time we had the evening instructor (Tammy) and, while she was very nice to me and did a great bang trim, she gave the students confusing directions and did not correct their mistakes at the end. It's possible that I just got an abnormally talented and independently capable student the first time, but the result is more likely reflective of the instructor.
