Samantha our stylist is awesome! She did my balayage in October and it came out so nice, I always got compliments on my hair. My daughter and nice also got great haircuts from her. I just went back to her a few days ago for another haircut with layers and I love my hair! You can tell she loves doing hair. She is so great!

I recently visited The Salon Professional Academy for a haircut and color, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Leslie was my stylist, and she did an amazing job. The entire process was smooth and professional. Leslie took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and also recommended some fantastic products to help with my damaged hair. My hair feels and looks healthier than ever. I highly recommend Leslie and The Salon Professional Academy for anyone looking for top-notch hair care services!

I came in for a color service and ended up going with highlights. I have short hair so I didn't think it would take too long. I agree with someone else that said one of the instructors is rude and makes the environment uncomfortable. Instead of taking in what the client wants it's more of her opinion and what she thinks it's best.
Understandable that this is a school and the students are learning so providing these services are not a guarantee of what I might want. However, communication was poor from the student to the instructor. I was not told the full breakdown of coloring to toning and to other things the student did to my hair and the cost of it.
I have short hair and on the website starting prices say $85. Well, had I not asked a price breakdown from the receptionist at the end of the service ! would have not known why I was paying an outrageous amount at a school.
At the end of the service, I did not get any product recommendations on maintaining my hair color or care. I originally just wanted highlights and I ended up paying more than what I had expected which was $215. I was clearly blinded and felt robbed coming here and will not be returning. Be aware of coming to this place because you will be charged extra for things you expect to be already included in the service.

My wife recently had her hair cut by Samantha S. at The Salon Professional Academy. Samantha showed outstanding skill and professionalism throughout the entire process. She listened to my wife's preferences and provided great suggestions. My wife loves her new haircut and will be going back to Samantha in the future. We were extremely satisfied with Samantha's work and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great haircut!

I had a full color done by Maya and she was fabulous! She listened to everything I wanted and her and her teacher spent time walking me through the prices and steps. I’m super happy with the result, the price and the full experience! Would definitely recommend!

I booked a hair appointment with Maya (her Instagram is Maya_does_hair) & she absolutely killed it! I am so in love with the end result! I have long, thick hair and was in desperate need of a trim, so I booked with her. She asked me how much I wanted to take off at the ends, and also gave me recommendations on face framing as well as if I wanted a straight cut or rounded cut. Such a lovely experience, I def plan on booking with her again ?

I recently got my hair done with Samantha S. and she did such an amazing job! She color matched me so well and I honestly had an amazing time there. This isn’t my first time at TSPA and every time I get my hair done, it always ends up beautiful. I trust every stylist there with my hair because they always do well. The instructors are also amazing and it’s very clear that they care for their students.

I was really excited to start my hair color journey here, aiming to achieve the perfect red. My first session went great, and I was informed that I would need another session to get the vibrant red I wanted. I completely understood and was fine with that. However, when I checked out after the first session, the front desk coordinator confirmed I was scheduled for Friday at 12 pm.

On Friday morning, I called to confirm my appointment and was surprised to learn I wasn’t on the schedule at all. Worse, the entire day was booked. They apologized for the miscommunication, but if they were truly sorry, they would have found a way to fit me in for at least a quick toning session to stay on track. This showed a lack of professionalism and organization.

Beware—if you need multiple sessions, don’t expect them to honor your appointment or take responsibility for their scheduling mistakes. Very disappointing experience!
