“I never write reviews for things, but this place was so good I just had to… I recently had my hair cut and dyed by April at the Academy and it was the best experience I’ve ever had with a stylist. During my consultation, she was very warm and friendly, making sure she knew what I wanted and how it would be done. Then, while setting up my appointment, they were very understanding of my tight schedule and allowed me to come in on two days – one to get my hair cut and the next to do the dye job. During both appointments, April was an absolute joy to work with. I felt very comfortable and she shared my enthusiasm for the new style I was getting. While washing my hair (which had to be done a couple of times during the dying stage), she gave my scalp a really great massage each time, and I honestly just felt so pampered. She went above and beyond my expectations and I am so happy with my hair. They will absolutely be getting my business in the future.”

“I booked a hair cut and consult for one of my girls. (and one was last minute and they were able to take her in). They got a wash, cut and curl and they felt so pampered. Both Darienne and Angel did a great job. And one cant wait to come back to get her hair dyed. I know this is where we will be coming form now on…. great atmosphere and friendly people.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed my Moor Mud session at AOE. At first I thought covering myself in mud would be strange, but the exfoliation I got from the treatment totally has renewed the look and feel of my skin! It simply feels so smooth!”

"The students took a lot of extra time on me… I felt like a goddess. What a treat to be so pampered!"
