South Hills Beauty Academy

Jan 2020

I went outside of my comfort zone to get my hair done here-- I moved recently and haven't found a new stylist yet. I was nervous, but from the minute I went in the door I felt like the instructors and my student stylist (Bella) really wanted me to be pleased with my hair. I was able to get a reverse balayage (darker roots using my natural color as highlight), a trim and style for $40 including tip. Tips must be in cash since the stylists are students-- I tipped my stylist with the Cash App and she was fine with that. I'm really happy with the results and plan to return-- I liked feeling like I helped some students get experience while still getting a service I'd pay at least double for at any other salon. I'd recommend giving it a chance!

I am more confident to come here than to try an unfamiliar salon. As a client, I have always gotten a good haircut here! The instructors are fantastic! However, they have a policy that little kids cannot be in the salon unless they are having a service done. Disappointedly, I have been turned away in the past because of this. I do not think this practice is customary with most salons or beauty academies.

I was a student here for the skin care program. It was the best school experience ever! The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. They actually make learning fun, and provide easy ways to learn and remember what you are learning. The school is more than accommodating with room, lighting and cleanliness. I didn't want to leave after graduation, I had a very pleasant experience and missed everyone. I do still go there to see them periodically.
