4.0 of 5 stars. Don't be shy about asking for a teacher's help on a cut if something dreadful is occurring on your head during a cut here, seriously, it a school so being passive accomplishes nothing! The school...

cheaper way of getting a great salon experience

Get your hair cut and styled at the school and you'll save a ton of money. They only let the more advanced students work on your hair, and under the supervision of a teacher. I never had a bad haircut here.

up and coming hair artists

I was so impressed with the price especially because I got a cut, color, and great style for what I would typically pay for just a cut. And the job she did was good enough I would pay much more to return. It...

Yelp.com Review - by w w.

3.0 of 5 stars. I have mixed feelings about Carsten Institute. I guess this is because you never know if you're going to get a student with talent, or a student that should be kept far, far away from anything that...

Will not return for a cut again by lily y. at InsiderPages

The only reason I won't give this a 1 star rating is because I believe one can have a single bad experience, and this could be an isolated and rare incident. However, yesterday I went to Carsten for a simple...

Couldnt ask for more in here

This salon is run by a beauty school, students are the ones doing the services underneath an instructor. Due to this they have awesome prices and even offer discounts for college students. They seem to pride...
