★★★★★ 5.0 Madison Mercer · Mar 2026

Had highlights done by Imani and she did amazing! The color and tone turned out exactly as I wanted! Everyone at the salon was so friendly and it was just overall a great experience.

EDIT: 1 -> 4.5 stars. Douglas J saw me back free of charge for a redo and Brandi (spelling?) saved my hair!! I’m so thankful for her! She is graduating soon so had a bit more experience and I know she will continue on to being a great stylist somewhere. Thanks Douglas J for being so accommodating and understanding and seeing me back. I hate hate being this person but I cannot believe I was here from 11am to 4:30pm for lightening and blonder highlights and this is what I got. Purple wall photo is the inspo picture from my last highlights at a different salon. There’s been some tears, I won’t lie.

★★★★★ 5.0 Laura Koch · Dec 2025

First time at the salon. Was checked in right away by a friendly staff member, informed of risks; since these are students and stylist came and greeted me. She took her time with my hair, confirming exactly what I wanted. Instructors were also present in salon, reviewing all the steps the students were performing. I felt very comfortable and was beyond satisfied. Great prices and great practice for all our future cosmologists.

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Bartram · Dec 2025

I had a very great time at the salon I can in and had never gotten my hair dyed before but was convinced to try it. I had no idea what I wanted or what would look good but my stylist Sarah was so sweet and helpful. She walked me through colors and waht would look good on me and we ultimately decided on silver. She was so professional and nice the whole time even helping me when I had doubts about it. Basically Sarah did an amazing job and I was amazed when she told me she was a student cause she was so professional and efficient. 5 starts for Sarah a great worker definitely would have her as my stylist again

★★★★★ 5.0 Elliot Bradke · Oct 2025

I got a hair lightening and dye from Ashley today and it was amazing! It was my first time having my hair dyed and she and the instructor were patient with explaining the process. She made sure I didn’t feel any discomfort and was very skilled. Despite not having a picture to show her, she was able to get me the correct color. They also offer student discounts which was great. I’m very happy with my hair and will come again + recommend to friends! Thanks for helping me feel confident!
