I've been going to Empire Beauty School but, after 3 times of having pretty good relaxers done and some of the worst customer service I've ever gotten. I decided to try Avalon. I was very impressed immediately. The studio floor was very clean, there weren't a bunch of students sitting around talking and everyone seemed happy to be there and professional. Within 3 minutes of getting there Raegan, my stylist, took me back and we through what I wanted done. Her instructor John came over welcomed me and offered to help her with the relaxer. My jaw about dropped!!! I've been going to beauty schools for over 10 years and never have I heard an instructor offer to help. Raegan already had help lined up though. I warned her she'd probably need it because my hair is very thick and long. My hair turned out looking and feeling great! This school is amazing, I can't wait to go back!!!
