I've been going to Kohler Academy (now Penrose Academy) for 7 months and I've slowly started dislike their ability to cut my hair. At first, it was great. I lucked out and found someone with talent, but she graduated a few months later and they've struggled to replicate her success. Put another way, while the price is very low you really don't know whether or not you're going to get someone that knows what they're doing. Sure, there are "teachers" there watching the students, but the reality is that there are too many students and not enough teachers. If you don't really care that much about your hair and are ok with the inconsistency then I'd recommend this place. On the other hand, if you're somewhat picky about your hair and want it done right then I wouldn't bother with this place. Spring the extra $10 and get your hair cut by someone who isn't learning.
