I always have a good experience. They care so much more than the chain salons. The students are passionate about their work. Of course you cant beat the price. It also comes out beautiful.

I got my hair cut here and they did an amazing job! It only cost about $15 and they were very nice. I also purchased a mask here and i wear it every day and it fits perfectly. The lady at the desk stitched it to my size while i got my hair cut.

This was my first time coming into the Fashion Focus Academy. I wanted about a foot of hair cut off and a whole new style. I showed my hairstylist Cassy the photos and she was eager to give me the cut I wanted. With guidance from the director Teri and Cassys attention to detail and direction she achieved the perfect look! I was very satisfied leaving the salon. Friendly students and staff , clean salon, and great experience overall. I would definitely recommend and will be back !

I love everything about this place. It is a beautiful space and the students are lovely and eager to please. The instructor is always close by and encourages the students to ask for help when needed.

I was new to the area and needed a stylist! I was wary, because my stylist in VA and I worked hard to get an icy blonde. Brittney was quick to gain my trust and I would recommend her to anyone. She was thoughtful, suggestive, and took her time to make sure I was happy. She even suggested ways to keep my hair soft, healthy, and better ways to keep moisture in my hair!

By far THE best FACIALS that I have come across - 5-STARS! THE BEST! And they make it all so quick and easy - Just book that appt with the social media coordinator (Tommy Callahan - I believe), show up and BOOM...FACIALED! This place deserves their own facial :) iownu wkndad

I went to school here 16 years ago to get more hours in for my nail tech training (PA license wasnt enough for fl, and I was more than happy to do it)Then 12 years ago I went back to get my arsthetics license. I have admired Byran and then AARON all of these years. They put out great work, great ethics and are just overall wonderful people with a fabulous school.I worked for a VERY LARGE Aveda salon company for years and they encourage any of us to continue our education with FASION FOCUS. CONGRATULATIONS FASHION FOCUS for continuing to uo the bar. And, by the way, love having my hair done by the well trained students.

My daughter got her hair cut from a level 1 student today who had not yet cut hair for a client. My daughter was nervous at first about having someone completely inexperienced, as her wanted hair style is not common or routinely done in many places. All staff were accommodating, very friendly and helpful to the student when she was unsure about something or just needed a fresh eye to ensure accuracy. It took almost 3 hours to complete our visit from the time we walked in the door until we left. We tipped her well, as she put a lot of care and effort into giving my teenager exactly what she wanted. No stylist has EVER been so concerned about making sure the client was happy. My daughters hair looks absolutely FABULOUS and both of us could not be happier with the overall experience. The staff was watchful and involved and were available for all questions and assistance as were her classmates. It was like being with a small family. There were no bad experiences to report and I would recommend this school to anyone. This particular group of students are being taught not only how to cut and style hair, but also how to please their clientele, which is what its all about! These students will do very well in their careers.

So happy to be able to get my hair done affordably! Been going for years and years. In that time i may have been disappointed 2-3 times. They are always willing to fix the problem. There is always a skilled teacher to assist on the floor.All students ive had, are happy with the school and move on to great jobs.Great place!

Friendly. Students performing services, excellent job. They make you feel like youre at a high fashion facility. Very clean. Coronavirus prevention at the front door. They scan your temp and you are required to mask up. This place is well worth every penny. I highly recommend!

This is a great school. my boyfriend attends this school and I go in every week for one kind of service or another. the teachers and staff are friendly and the range of services are great! the instructors are very knowledgeable and help the students, if they need, to help get successful results for the client. a great place to get any cosmetology service.

Not at all pleased with the school. Its run just like a major big business; theres little concern from staff for individual needs, concerns, and questions. When you deal with them, youre simply herded along like a herd of cattle. Its truly sad they choose to run their school this way, as theres so much potential there to bring in so many new students. Grade = D-

Well Im happy to say, Im coming back. I graduated from Fashion Focus quite a few years ago. I was around 20. Best decision I ever made. I love my career. 3 years ago I moved to north Florida. Better environment for my son to graduate. And he did, yeah!! I worked as an instructor here before I moved. Best boss ever. Byron. Best working team ever. You know who you are. Having my cosmotology license, I was able to take care of my son. So now my son is grown for the most part and Im coming back to a career I love. So my suggestion for all you graduates and anyone that love health beauty & fashion, Fashion Focus Hair Academy is your school. Great place. I know because I graduated from here at 20 and Im 42 and still love what I do. I appreciate everyone who took the time to read my short story. By the way it is a true story of success.

Had an eyebrow and bikini wax. The eyebrows are ok, although I had wax left on me. The bikini wax was the worst Ive ever had. I could have done a better job with a candle and no mirror. The students were professional, I just think they didnt have proper training for this procedure.

Question? What all facial treatments do you offer to the public?

I am a former student and this school is just the worst. The new management only cares about making money. They will only train you if you work in one of their Strawberry salons otherwise forget about them giving you a customer to train on.

I went to have my eye browns waxed. I left it growing for 3 months hopping to get the right shape. Student want to get it right but trainner kept rushing her and did not let her mapping the eye browns or pluck stray hairs to achieve the right shape. The instructor made her to do all at once, all in one stroke, put wax in all upper, lower, front and tails and pull off, without getting any arch. The result is desastrous. It changed the intire shape of my face for worse.

Aaron the director really wants the students there to succeed and will help in any way so that you can graduate. There are a lot of clients that come in so you always have someone to practice on. The teachers also really care about their students!
