I recently had a pedicure done by Kamdyn Kerner at The Salon Professional Academy, and she was absolutely wonderful! Kamdyn was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire service. She took her time, paid close attention to detail, and made sure everything was perfect. My feet have never looked or felt better! You can tell she’s passionate about her craft and is going to make an amazing nail tech. I highly recommend booking with Kamdyn if you have the chance — she’s a natural!

This is such a GREAT Academy for those who want to get a professional education in nail artwork... hair... Etc. I was completely impressed when I entered the doors and saw all the students in the different areas of learning.. it's huge! So many individual stations set up for themselves and their clients. The public can pay just a fraction of the cost of a hair and beauty or nail salon!! I was completely pampered by my beautiful granddaughter who treated me like a princess and gave me my very FIRST manicure and applied a gorgeous sparkly cat-eye gel. I will return with my friends who also will want to receive the #1 nail treatment. Nampa is fortunate to have this Great Academy at the Holly Center location and should support and take advantage of their awesome low prices in addition to helping the students learn their talents and arts.. so if you want a student nail tech that's the BEST... Schedule with Bailee Lootens...she is incredibly artistic. I'm old and played it safely for my first time... But I've seen her past work of monarch wings... Fish... Hummingbirds.. frogs.. and any elegant or fun design you can think up ❤️💜 💅

This was my first time in. The staff and students were all very friendly. I loved my stylist! She cut off 3 inches and took the time to make sure my hair was cut evenly. It was also great having the teachers walking around and checking on clients. Can’t wait to come back!
