Student Testimonials

What Our Students Are Saying

Real students. Real results.

★★★★★

The definition of hidden talent. Great students and teachers. They have beauty school salon prices. They do braids here as well. Very impressed with the service I received.

★★★★★

Nothing but a great experience here. You’re not a Guinea pig when you sit in that chair - you’re a client; albeit one of your barbers first. These barbers have a great vibe at this location and nothing beats the $10 price… although I suggest to plan to say thank you for your great cut with a $10 tip on top of it. Huge shout out to Hunter who gave me an awesome haircut!

★★★★★

I'm always satisfied with the haircuts I get here. The student barbers are extremely detail-oriented and reliable.
