Don't go here unless you want your hair damaged

Karina Faro

January 14th, 2016 I called the downtown branch and was answered by a not so pleasant woman, to say the least. She made me feel like my call and questions were a nuisance. She was short and rude. It took 3 tries to get her name, Erica. Wether that is her actual name I can't tell. That should have stopped me from even making an appointment, but I shrugged it off to the fact that maybe she was having a bad day and let it go. When I arrived at the salon I was greeted and the student that was suppose to work on my hair arrived. Her name is Toni and she was very pleasant to be around. I told her I wanted a balayage done in my brown hair to create some streaks of copper. I showed her a picture and she got her instructor. Here is where the problem began. The instructor's name was Deb and she was NOT helpful. Every time Toni called her she seamed to be annoyed and bored. My hair has some chemicals in it due to a straightening process done a year ago and Deb seemed to get upset and frustated about the fact and recommended that Toni first tried to see if the bleach would work on my hair. After Toni did so and saw that it worked then Deb gave her the ok to start the balayage process. Toni started applying streaks of bleach throughout my hair and at NO moment did Deb come over to check and INSTRUCT her on technique and positioning of the streaks, which unfortunately turned out bad: straight lines of bleach at the top of the streaks. It did not make it seem natural. Finally it's the moment to choose the color to match to the picture I had showed Toni and Deb. Once again Deb was nowhere to be found and did not help Toni choose the correct color that I had showed in the picture. Result: My hair color and position of the balayage looked NOTHING like I had asked for. Once Toni was done she noticed that the color was not right and noticed that I was not happy. She got Deb to check it out and asked her what could we do to make it better. Deb then went into evasion mode and kept repeating "I have to think about it" in front of a dissatisfied customer! She said that once I came back to re-do the coloring (yeah, right!!!!!), which would fade in 4-6 weeks, then Toni would have to re-bleach my hair and apply the correct color. She never mentioned if that would be on the house or if I would have to pay for their mistake! At no point did she apologize for her oversight and offer a decent solution. I ended up paying full price for a poorly done job. It's been exactly a week since this happened, and I have not heard back from Deb on what the result is of her having to "think about" what to do to make this right! Needless to say, an absolutely unacceptable result. I will not be returning to The College of Hair Design, and I urge you to think twice before you schedule an appointment.

Call to make an appointment with a specific person and come to the appointment to find out the person isn’t even there they could of at least called us since we gave them our number. Had us waiting there for 30 minutes to get a new person.

Can only speak for nail services: if you get a student named Pravin or Parvin R. Expect a very subpar manicure. I understand it’s students, but genuinely I could’ve done a better job at home. She missed the sides, there’s bubbles, and I have so much paint on my skin, I’m not even sure how to get it off. On top of that she forgot the topcoat, when I reminded her she specifically asked me if I’m sure and that she doesn’t think so, until examining my nails and saying oh yes, you’re right, and when she wanted me to take my hand out of the light machine, instead of using words, she would grant or say the noise “mmm” indicating I should take my hand out? She said a total of maybe five words to me. If you want to go there to use the services, definitely look into who your nail technician is going to be! She took the longest of the three, and did the worst job. Not sure if this is the kind of service that they’re teaching their students to give, but I was shocked! Nothing speaks louder than the pictures below!

I have been going there for several years its a cheap good place to get your haircut. But you do have to remember that they are students learning so it might not be perfect every time you go .

They totally ruined my hair. I asked for a comb over and they made me look like I just got to basic military training. Instead of atleast fading it my comb over was a buzz cut on the sides and left all my hair on top. I didn’t think a trim would be that bad but he first used the clippers and went straight up the back of my head so I couldn’t just leave!

Justin Myers

A great haircut at a great price!

Ricardo Gajardo

Friendly environment, And amazing people, owners are super nice. My man Darius (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) left me with a FRESH fade! Highly recommend

Vincent Vilay

Nice folks, cheap haircuts. What more do you want? Sometimes the students aren't sure what exactly to do, but that's why the instructors are there to guide them. I haven't had a bad experience here.

Jane Schiermeyer Hansen

Closed for a snow day and did not notify appointments! Glad Sweet Jane Salon could work me in. Never plan to schedule here again.

Jason Auld

Friendly staff professional haircut for 7 bucks can't beat it. Quintin did a great job!!! I'll be going back

Milton McNeeLee

Cam and his instructors performed flawlessly. He really did a great job trimming my beard, best ever!

Nancy Elder

Did an awesome job with coloring my thin hair, didn't make me feel ashamed.

(Translated by Google) Ronald Mancia! It hooks it up and speaks good person Spanish and leaves the short as if it were already professional. (Original) Ronald Mancia! hooks it up y habla español buena persona y deja el corto como si ya fuera profesional.

Great job

I have been getting a shave and a haircut at the College of Hair Design for a couple of years. The barbers are great and the straight razor shave is so relaxing between the hot lather and hot towels I almost fall asleep everytime. I highly reccomend it. A straight razor shave is a must.

why get your hair cut here when Josephs college of booty has $5 haircut days twice a week? No contest.

Nyla Bartlett

Always get my haircuts they are always good

Ikhlaas Mungloo

Great haircut ! I come here every 2 weeks !!

Brenda Broadfoot

My daughter loves going here she normally trusts no one with her hair! but Trinaa and Aaron has not disappointed her yet! The staff and students are very friendly and seem to like helping each other learn!

Chelise Harris-Scott

Staff & Students are always Friendly & Helpful!!!!

Amanda Mason

I've been coming here off and on for at least 10 years. I've never had a bad experience. If the students are not quite getting you the look you want, the instructors are there to guide through or fix. Two sets of eyes for the price of one! It"s very affordable and there are monthly specials on products. Walk-ins are welcome but I usually call the day before so I don't have to wait more than a couple minutes. And they validate parking!

Nice place to cut hair

Kelly Pierce

Great haircut and scalp treatment. Dandruff much better. Felt nice as well. Savannah did a great job.

Tom Geist

I've been going to this place for over 20 years now. It helps the students and saves you a little money. Some barber shops get you in and out as quick as they can, but here the students take their time AND the instructors review your hair before you leave. If you don't at least try this place once you will never know what you've been missing out on.

Went in for a trim and they did an amazing job! Will be returning
