Shocking experience with simple wash and blow dry. Student did not wash or rinse hair properly. Student could not do a simple blow dry. Hair got caught and knotted in the brush. Hair should have been sleek but was one big frizz. I went home and immediately washed and styled it myself. It is apparent that an overhaul of student’s training is needed.

I always enjoy having my hair done here! I’m pretty adventurous with my hair, and the students always rise to the challenge.

To me, those are fine trade-offs for the reasonable price and the fun of being part of the students’ education.
