I will start by saying that I am a recent college grad so affordability was my main objective. I chose PMTS because compared to other schools in the area, I had heard the most successful outcomes from here. I made an early appointment which was fortunate because my cut/color took 5 hours. But it was so worth it! I have thick naturally curly hair. I got a cut, color (from blonde to red), and thinning, so I knew it would take a while. I would suggest requesting a Phase II student unless you are getting something very basic done like a trim. My stylist Samantha seemed fairly confident, and when she wasn't, she would ask one of the instructors. The only thing that concerned me a bit was that the instructors were not always on the same page- my stylist told me that her instructors where disagreeing completely on how to mix my color- something you think they would agree on at a school- but my color came out great. Samantha had great judgement, and with all the hours these girls/guys put in, they have a good grip on what they are doing. It got busy towards the end of my appointment, and ever client I saw leave looked great. I have no doubt that if I did not like my end result, an instructor would have gladly fixed it. Just remind yourself that you came to this salon, and they are students- be patient, give them feedback, and have faith that everything will come out better than when you started. I would totally recommend the experience- and I also saved about $125!
Pros: Kind staff, attention to detail, clean facility
