Flag Review - Rating:
- I disagree with the last reviewer, the area is not the greatest however it is a good school. The instructors take the time to discuss special styles and techniques. I would give it a 5 star rating, but it gets a 4 because of the area.
- Reviewed on: June 01, 2011 Flag Review
- Rating:
- Very ghetto. Students smoking weed out the back door. Students on cell phones on the floor. Students yelling at instructors. The instructors can barely read and know nothing about hair.
