Don't underestimate this place because it's a student based business. These students are confident in their skills and abilities. They are able to work with all types of hair. The staff is friendly including the front desk. It's also very clean. Students there are very knowledgeable and always willing to talk to you to make sure you like how your hair is looking. I like how the teachers walk the aisle and step in if needed they're not overbearing. I have also got my 3 year old sons hair trimmed her a couple times, and they made him feel really comfortable. All around great place !
