Sadie did an amazing job on my scalp treatment and style! She was super friendly and thorough with her work. I've visited the salons of 4 hair schools in the valley, and this has been the most professional and friendly. Everybody seemed very nice and the instructor was very engaged on the floor with the students the entire time. The area was also very open and clean. I will definitely be returning!

I’ve been there several times over the years. It’s cheaper than going to a salon and they do a thorough job. Some of the training stylists are more friendly and talkative than others. You can get in quickly when you make an appointment, when you arrive it’s not too long of a waiting time. Just know that when you go there that you’ll be there for a very long time. My most recent visit I came in with chest length hair and got it cut to just above the shoulders (nothing extravagant, just cut shorter) and I was there for 2 1/2 hours.

Student do a great job listen to what you would like done, the girl that did my hair did a great job. I am in my sixty’s with moderate hair loss, she did a great job working with what hair I had, it was just what I asked, THEN the instructor (female) walks over doesn’t ask any questions just grabs electric clippers and cuts my hair within a quarter inch, no going back now. Instructors need to interact with customers before doing a hack job on the people who let the students get the experience of cutting hair. Three or four students commented on she does that all the time.

AWESOME SCHOOL. It is a high school with limited hours because of that. We have to book out certain time frames no matter how fast we can perform a task so that We can ensure that every client gets our best service without being rushed. We also get every service checked by our instructors. We only have certain students that can take clients because it depends on where they are at in their cosmotology education. We are cash only as we are students learning to balance a cash register and books.

An amazing place to help students reach their full potential. They do amazing work and the instructors are always available to help out. Such a friendly and fun environment!

Awesome school with such loving and caring faculty and staff. I've had the privilege to go to this school for 2 years and it's has helped me mature and grow into a great cosmetologist that will benefit me for the rest of my life. I couldn't be more grateful💓

Horrible and rude and hostile, cosmetology program and principal. Even when there's plenty of space available, they refuse to allow families to be together while a family's four year old child is getting a haircut. They forcibly break up families, and they will boot families out the door who complain about their hostility and rudeness.

No previous and related cosmetology program acted so rudely and with such an iron fist. Not SLCC Cosmetology. Not Granite Technical Education Cosmetology. And not private barber schools we've gone to such as American Beauty Academy.

Also when we were taken back, no one told us about the "rules on the wall." So some piece of paper is on the wall which people are expected to see. Our four year old son is five minutes into a haircut, and only then does a rude manager woman come over to tell us that only one parent is "allowed" to be with their child in the hair cutting area. Allowed? Not family friendly. Not customer friendly. Instead, micromanaging teachers who believe they can treat adult members of the public in the same way they treat their students - with iron fisted and rude demands and orders.

The rude and hostile principal came down after we called him for help. We thought he was coming to help. Instead all he was coming down to do was to enforce their stupid anti-family rule which no one told us about until 5 minutes into the session. When I asked the man who created the policy, he didn't know. When I told the principal that I wanted to escalate the matter to his supervisor, he then directly threatened to boot my family. Thus if you complain to the public employees at this public school, they will threaten to boot you - and this is exactly what the principal did. In response to this threat to the safety of my family, we left with our four year old son.

Never visit this terrible place. Sucking in tax payer dollars, so that they can run an anti-family anti-customer anti-citizen rude hostile provincial organization which could care less about operating a cosmetology program which is customer friendly and family friendly.

We aren't your students.

We pay your salaries.

You are supposed to be public servants, but you're not acting like it.

They were so great. I took my daughter here to get her hair trimmed and washed. The staff and students were so kind and friendly. They always do a great job.
