I love Sarah! Her work is outstanding! She takes her time and listens to your wants. My hair looks amazing and I get compliments on it all the time. Hurry, she graduates in July… you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve debated writing this review at all. Overall, when you get your hair cut at an academy, you have to have different expectations. Muuuuuch less expensive, a lot of wait time, and nervously chatty students. I left with a nice, albeit a little dull, haircut. But, when you’re in the hands of a practicing student, anything less than «WHAT HAPPENED?!» is good enough.
My main gripe is that the teacher (and occasionally the student) berated my hair for a majority time. I have a lot of long, thin hair. It typically takes longer to cut/​dye because there is so much of it. And recently, it’s been dyed a few times so it’s more brittle. That being said, it’s still in very good condition. After a shower, it takes me about 2 minutes to comb through it. It took them, at different points, 10 – 20 minutes. Which is fine, I get that I’ll be better at it than someone else. But it came with a stream of comments about how my hair was soooo problematic, how I should spend more time conditioning it, asking accusatory questions about what products I used, and so on. By the end I felt defensive of my rather normal hair, which was not how I was expecting to feel while leaving.
I would just encourage the teachers to realize they are on display too!
Other customers around me seemed happy, but all in all it seemed like people were there for at least two hours, and more like four for cut and dyes. For the price, make sure you have ample free time!

Bring a snack and your patience. I was there 3.5 hours. I brought a picture of what I wanted. The result somewhat resembles it… except I hoped for maybe 3 inches cut. I got about 7. All employees were courteous and friendly.

I do not hand out five stars just for the fun of it, — you have to earn them. I have been a customer for the past four years. I love this place because it is clean and I always come away with a cut that I want. (I change styles every single time I get my hair cut) The BEST instructor is Miss Burke. She is attentive, hands on, and a really sweet person, all the girls adore her. One has to be prepared to explain what you are looking for and even bring a picture or two along. Hands down the best place around, professional, respectful and always aim to please. (P.S. You can’t please all the people all of the time.)

Well good thing I didn’t check Unilocal before going here or I wouldn’t have gone probably! I had a great experience. So I have hair right below the collar bone and was looking for kind of a balayage (spelling? I’m a math major, cut me some slack) look aka like highlights except more natural/​random. Most places in the area were charging 125+ and I don’t have the money for that! I went here and I believe the woman who did my hair was Rasshell. Super professional and sweet and kept the conversation going with me. She knew what to do and her boss had to check of course but it turned out fantastic. I will say to not come here if you are in a hurry… it took about 2.5 hours but I planned accordingly. I kind of people watched and everyone there seemed happy to be there and professional. The areas were clean and I got the exact outcome I wanted for my hair! ALSO they aren’t pushy which is a huge plus. They did tell me about their incentive programs for returning and such and honestly $ 10 for a cut/​style and $ 39 for a balayage… incredible. Can’t beat it. I would recommend it here and this is coming from a girl who has cried many times leaving a hair salon! Ask for Rasshell!(she graduates in December).

Truly awful. Service is bad and unprofessional, I blame it on the enrollment staff for allowing people that shouldn’t be there to be students and the teachers for not teaching the ones there how to properly treat customers. Cutting someone’s hair is half the quality of the haircut and half the way they are treated. Great haircut does not matter if you treat them like crap. They seem to focus entirely on how to cut hair and forget we are real people not just a head with hair. They would have to pay me to go back to salon professional academy.

Shamefully Bad!!!
My husband, went up to get a simple fade.(normal, caucasian hair. as if it should make a difference) & after 45minutes of ‘consulting’ with the stylist, his haircut finally began– the girl used Scissors to Attempt a fade! (his hair was maybe 2in long)
Finally, after a ½ hour smoke break, the supposed instructor noticed & tried to fix the Epic Failure that was left of his hair…
Even then my poor hubby left with an extremely noticeable, uneven, & poorly executed ‘fade’. Even his front hairline was uneven– With some spots missed! (How difficult is it to make a Straight line!?)
His ‘butchers’ name was Kaylee. & during the haircutting session she admitted that while the course usually takes 11months to complete– She had been there for almost 2 years!
**Bottom line I have done a better job using clippers Drunk, than this place proved able to do.
Ohh, & as an Added Bonus, his neckline is damn near bleeding due to such extreme razor burn.

I was very pleased with the level of professionalism at TSPA. The students did such a great job with meeting the look I was looking to achieve. And by the way, the ongoing promotions they run are the best in town. Thank you TSPA, you have a life long customer.

This place is great if you’re looking for an inexpensive spa. I had a facial and some highlights done there a while back. The girl that did my facial was a level 2 student. Because she was in the last few days of her training she did the facial entirely on her own with the instructor only popping in once to see how it was going. She did a superb job as I felt super relaxed and my face was super smooth afterward.
The girl that did my highlights was also a level 2 student. She did need a little more help from her instructor to figure out the right color options for my hair. After the initial consultation she got right to work. I did start getting a little worried toward the middle of her foiling my hair though because the instructor kept coming over to look at her work. The end result was great though.
If you’re willing to be patient this place is great for inexpensive spa treatments.
