Z Hair Academy

Z has a super simple online appointment website where you can pick what you like and get on their calendar lickity split. I typically don't specify the staff for an easy single layer haircut with wash and style.

The instructors check the students progress throughout the cut. If you ask for 4 inches they'll cut 2, so make sure you're super clear at the beginning on what you're looking for.

Great spot, check it out!

The best haircut experience after a while. Service quality is too good which makes me want to pay more. Don't know much about other stuff but my man cuts, Eastern Asian standard style, was on spot as far as details. I would prefer it to 1 inches or more longer just to fit my personal taste, and can't wait to experience Maggie's whitening skill later.

I went in for a haircut and was paired with Jaxon. Jaxon was incredibly polite and attentive of my hair preferences. As a student, Jaxon had to have their work checked by an instructor, but instead of just checking, the instructor began trimming even further without asking me or Jaxon about my preferences until after the instructor had snipped off an inch of hair. I was happy with the length that Jaxon left, but the instructor went farther than I was wanting. The haircut was $10 total and included hair wash and styling.

Moral of the Story: Know that this is a school, so it'll take a little longer at a cheaper price, and communicate what you want clearly.

I had gotten my hair cut recently at my normal salon and then a few weeks later I decided it was too long still. So, not wanting to spend salon prices again, I decided to go to Z hair academy! A student cut my hair and I got exactly what I wanted. The teacher helped out a little towards the end and everyone was very nice and the place looked clean and organized. It was only like $9 for my haircut!! I don't have very "needy" hair (it's just straight and not color treated) but I think the teacher is knowledgeable and the students are apt and professional! I don't see a reason to go anywhere else!

I've always came here to get my hair cut and Evey time they do fantastic. I was here earlier today to get my hair cut and I'm loving it.

My grandma came in to get her hair died, has done this before..at many places. But this time she came in and they did a terrible job on her hair. They left spots undone. And when she was all done her hair felt sticky and gross.

Wow...look at all the bad reviews this place has...I'm not surprised!!

My God...whatever you do...do not give this place your business. The owner is unprofessional, rude and nasty. I went there today with a $20 coupon for a color...and they told me that it would be $77. WTF? I have hair a few inches below the shoulder..but, the owner was trying to bilk me out of almost 4 times the coupon price. I complained and instead of making it right...she said if I didn't like it I could leave.

This woman is supposedly training her students about running a business. *faint* Can you imagine? The owner doesn't know the first thing about running a business...which is that the customer is always right.

You could go to Great Clips and get much better treatment. Hell...you could get product and less aggravation form eSalon.com. Check them out!

Anyway...if I were wanting to go to school to learn to do hair, I'd check out the Paul Mitchell School or Mitsu Sato Hair Academy. I'd be shocked if any of the students at Z Hair Academy like the owner...I've talked to a few graduates who can't stand her. Why put yourself through that? Life is waaaay too short.

I've got nothing against the students...but, I would never give my business to that owner again!

Highly recommended this place, for those of you, who want to have a great hairstyle for a decent amount of money.

Unlike some others reviewing Zs, I've never had a bad experience. I'm usually seat with my hairdresser within 10min of entering. They ask what I want done, have the instructor review it, and then begin with a wash or color treatment prep.

I always ask to see in the mirror as towards the end of the haircut to ensure it looks how I want - if it doesn't, I simple state what I'd like to be different. The students are more than willing to work with you - this is going to their career so they want you to be just as happy as they are with your hair.

I've had highlights done as well and like the cap or foil options. The staff is always professional and willing to make sure you leave happy.

I have always been very picky about my hair. I have naturally curly hair and enjoy being a faux redhead, so finding a good stylist has always been a challenge. After months of dropping $100+ to get a cut and color and being unhappy with it, I decided it'd be worth a shot to be unhappy at a fraction of the price. ;)

Thankfully, I had a fantastic experience at Z Hair Academy! I know it's kind of a crapshoot on who you get, but the student I got was fantastic. I think you need to know what cut/color you want, and be clear on the expectations. The student is there to make you happy and do a good job, so as long as you're clear on what you want, it's not a big issue. Also, I appreciate that they consult the instructor before and after your services to make sure it's up to par. It is a LITTLE slower than a salon, but I didn't mind the extra time.

I got a cut, full color, and a conditioning treatment for $42! Since the student took the time to make sure I liked the color we selected, and double checked it with the instructor, I finally got the shade I was looking for this past year! What's even better, they keep notes on your style/color and you can request the same student for your next appointment. I definitely plan on going back and saving some serious cash for a salon-quality cut and color!
