I do not recommend this place at all. I was called to my chair and then needed to wait at least 30 minutes before the student began to work on my hair. The instructors tend to focus their time on those with complicated hair/cuts. All I was asking for was a barbershop trim (15 minutes or less). The student kept asking questions, and while patient, I firmly replied, "I just need a trim today; but, we could try those suggestions next time I'm here". 10 minutes into using the trimmer, they said they needed to stop to get before/after photos, which took another five minutes. 45 minutes after we started using JUST the trimmers (1.15 hours total in the chair) and not a single pair of scissors had been used yet. I politely told the student I needed to go, and if she was finished with the trimmers, I was now late for an appointment. She ran to the instructor and explained something and he began using the trimmer EVEN MORE. After five minutes, I said, "I just need to go now, thank you but this has taken longer than expected". After 45 minutes of the student using a barber's trimmer, the instructor still needed 5 more minutes with a trimmer before I could go with only 1/3 of the haircut done

If I could give this zero stars I would. My haircut was one of the worst I’d ever seen. Here is one picture posted. You can see that half of my hair has been chopped off (I specifically asked not to get length removed) and this is what I have been left with. The most uneven choppy haircut it looks like a 3 year old cut it. I reached out to address the situation very respectfully and this woman named Deedee sat there and gave me the ugliest attitude and made me feel shame for even saying anything. She gaslit (yes really, gaslit) me and was incredibly rude. I will never be returning and I want to make sure that this woman deedee is held accountable for the way that she treats customers. I did not ask for a Bob. And my hair is super curly. I am left looking like Dora and i had to spend $300 on extensions because of how short and awful this hair is

i understand this is a get what you get and dont get upset kind of place, because $20 haircuts are hard to find in the bay, but i am feeling really bummed about my cut. I knew the style i wanted would likely involve semi-technical scissor cutting and/or a razorcomb, but unfortunately my hairstylist had only practiced with a razor comb once before and ended up shredding my ends and leaving it very uneven and way way way too short. the front face framing layers are nearly a bob, and one side is literally 3 inches longer than the other. Even after it grows out, the ends are more damaged than pre-cut, so Ill just be living in braids and bobby pins until i can afford a proper trim.
i appreciate that there were trained professional guides/teachers around and available to assist the students, and i REALLY appreciate that one was able to step in and cut most of the back of my hair, but sadly the front cut was all done by the stylist who seemed very unsure of her skills.

tldr: only come here for simple trims, and speak up about your chopping limits or if it feels like your hair is getting sawed off.

Thanks to Neda for taking my hair from a 2 to a healthy glow up for summer. I'm amazed at how she pulled it off while still maintaining my natural curls in just one session.

A big thanks to Danielle for her guidance an oversight.

I made an appointment for a haircut and received an email that required further information to confirm the appointment. I added that information into their online portal three days before the appointment, but I received an email 30 minutes before the appointment that they had canceled. When I called to figure out why, I was rudely told that I didn't add the information and "this is why we send emails, see I don't even know who you are, yep there is no information on your profile". And when I stated I did add the information the person continued to be rude and offered no problem solving for why their technology was not working since it was showing the correct information on my end. I continued with the cancelation due to this so I unfortunately do not have any information on the services their students provide.

I had such a great experience here. My hair stylist, Neda, was wonderful. She did my highlights and it turned out AMAZING!! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Jacob, the instructor, was great. He was really good at helping and supervising his students. I highly recommend and will definitely come back!!
