Charles & Sue’s School of Hair Design

This is an okay place to go if you are on a tight budget. However, it takes forever. I spent 4 ½ hours just getting highlights (without a cut). Since these are students, the instructor has to sign off throughout the service. While it is a good place on a dime, I just don’t have time to sit in the chair all day.

So what do you get for $ 8? A men’s cut and wash. Leaves room to tip nicely.
I’m tired of the chains slowly creeping up on prices. Had been using Sport Clips when getting my hair cut locally as I like to have a wash afterwards. But they have become too expensive for a basic short cut now nearly almost $ 20. Nope. (In Japan a wash and shoulder massage is always included with a men’s cut which can spoil you) and while they don’t do a massage here at C&S, you can not beat $ 8.
The lady that cut my hair said that she was going to school there to get her licence. She did a great job. I did not have an appointment, walked in at 5:30 when they close at 6 and I was called to the classroom before I could even sit down.
The staff here are nice fun people and when I need a cut again, this is a no-​brainer. They saved me time and money and the now new free wash with REDKIN products just tops anything else in town.

Generally I’ve had good experiences with my services and great experiences with the students and the person who schedules services. But regularly end up paying more for my services that I would pay in professional salons that have expertise in African American hair. There is not a standardized price list that includes multicultural hair styles. The instructors based on limited knowledge seem to each individually decide how much to charge. Also, The last time I visited I was not told the price until after my hair was completed. I had a simple lose crown braid style done, did not use any product, did not have my hair washed or cut, the style took no loner than 30 minutes and was charged a smiliar price to a full color service. This is very unprofessional and sets a bad teaching experience for the students and bad experience for the clients.

I bought a daily deal for a manicure & pedicure here, it was cheap and I thought I’d be getting a deal ($ 10 instead of $ 30 at a regular salon). Let me just say you definitely get what you pay for. It took about two hours (that’s crazy talk for a simple mani/​pedi!) and the students use methods you’d use at home (for example, a q-​tip dipped in nail polish remover to fix smears). I’m never coming here again; next time I’ll quit being cheap and go somewhere where the techs know what they’re doing.

I went here for a cut today– my biggest cut since I was 10 seeing as how I cut off 4 inches (yikes) — after my friend recommended it to me, and I was very impressed! The girl who did my hair was super sweet and easy to talk to (her name was Sara S.) I’m going back soon for their conditioning treatment that my friend says makes your hair feel like silk.
Honestly, how can you beat a $ 5.75 haircut?
here’s their list of products and services:
They are closed Sat-​Mon, just so you know.
