Z Hair Academy

The absolute worse experience I have never had at z hair. I have gone here for five to six years with no issues until this last appointment I had this week. The hair stylist Sage seemed drunk, drugged, and distracted when it came to cutting my hair. Things that really upset me were that she washed my hair with cold water, used a fine tooth comb on my soaking wet hair (of which I have thick hair every salon I have gone to start off with a conditioner spray of some sorts and a wide tooth comb working towards the fine), thus my hair was pulled, she kept complaining about how tangled my hair got with the fine tooth comb, made me stand up to get my hair cut, used a product that I’m allergic to, so I had hives coming home for three days, blow dried my hair with her fingers not a brush, of which she grabbed, and of course it hurt as she pulled my hair. While all of this was occurring her conversation involved an imaginary character that she was speaking to saying «yah mannnn» «niiiiiice mannn» «awesome, awesome», of which REALLY creeped me out. She gave me the worst hair cut that I had to go to a different salon to fix my hair with a total of six inches of hair loss from the damage she caused. I will NEVER step foot into z hair, also do not believe the front desk receptionist on the phone, if you ask for someone dependable and experience you will get what I had. Also I hope z hair rejects those who do not belong in this career field, admissions needs to investigate who they allow in. Word to the wise go elsewhere.

Salon quality work for a fraction of the cost.
I was referred by a coworker. I was skeptical at first because I thought great my hair will get messed up by some student! I’ve been going here for over a year now and I’ve never had a bad cut color or cut!
The stylist goes over what you want done and then they bring over the teacher who reviews it with you and them and then they tell you the price. During color treatments the teacher does come and check out the progress. With hair cuts they sign off on them and review them as well.
Everyone is professional and nice! They treat you like a you are at a real salon and offer you a beverage. Plus they already have lemonade or kool-​aid and cookies.
They use Joico coloring products which are awesome too!

This hair school is one of South OP’s best kept secrets! A friend of mine gave me the tip about a year ago. Since, I’ve been going regularly to get a cut and color. Before my first visit, I was skeptical since these are students and feared a «bad hair cut» but am extremely impressed by their professionalism. You first meet with a stylist and describe what services you would like to receive, then one of the professors comes by and does a consult along with helping them make the best decision regarding your hair (especially if color or highlights are involved). Throughout the process, the professors are engaged with the students and at the end they come by and do a check to ensure quality. Multiple times throughout my visit I’ve been asked if this is what I’m looking for, or at the end if there is anything else they can do for me? Total cost – $ 40 – 45 for cut and color.
