I visited last week to get a body perm and haircut. My stylist was Angela. She listened to me explain what I expected from the perm and my details concerning the cut. She constantly made sure I was doing Ok and that I was comfortable because I wear oxygen all the time and I'm very fragile. I was definitely Happy with my whole visit. I love the outcome it far exceeds what I expected. I will go there and see Angela from now on for all my hair needs. It's all Perfect. Everyone loves it. It's half the cost anywhere else. Thank you Angela.

I had previously went to another school in Tulsa and dropped out because the curriculum just didn’t suit my learning style so I came here because they are a pivot point school instead of milady. They have you work on clients after only 8 weeks instead of 7 months which sounds scary but it’s the best way to get you ready for the salon instead of just state board. I’m retaining a lot more information because of the way this school teaches and I’m so happy to be here. It’s a small school which means there’s more one on one opportunities with instructors in case you don’t understand and they really care and want to see us succeed. I highly recommend this school. I’m very happy to be here and feel like I’ll be ready for work as soon as I get my license..
