I live in California and I like many hairdressers I was unemployed for the majority of 2020. However with the limited money I had I decided to take a financial risk , and relocate to AZ for the time being to attend the 10 week course at SR academy alongside the regular students. I had such a great experience the first time I took classes. Unfortunately my recent experience was not the same.The first 3 weeks were great and then it started to feel redundant. I sent an email expressing my concerns about the program. I was assured that I would learn more and I was reminded that I was working alongside the cosmo department. A couple of days later Sally informed me via email that due to an unsuspected family emergency she would not be able to get me the advance training. I was told my 2 options were to stop payment, or to come back later in the year and finish then. I agreed to stop payment because my time and finances don’t allow me the privilege to come back later. Because of this I felt like I was entitled to some money back due to how much I had paid versus when I was leaving. I wrote an email back and got no response. I asked the instructor in charge about it and she said she didn’t deal with finances. By the end of the week, I had heard nothing and my time was up. When I got home I sent several emails and got still no reply and still haven’t. I understand the course not being completed because of life’s emergencies. What is not acceptable is not getting any type of response about my money. If there was time to tell me I had to leave then there was time to answer me back about my money. I had a great experience the first time I went but the second time has left a really sour taste.

If you are thinking of attending any classes at the SR Academy do it, you will not regret it! I attend Sallys 6 Week Intensive hair cutting program and it was the best decision I could have ever made for my career. Sally and all of her educators are excellent teachers and truly make sure you understand what you are doing and why. I love how simplified they make hair cutting. I could not recommend a better place to further your education.

I loved taking my first SR Education 3years ago. I’ve received two more classes since. Sally and her team tailor the program to each individual’s level. I recommend having a one day seminar for a salon team. As a salon owner, I was able to see individual skill set and really appreciate the salon as a whole for doing something together. When we teach our assistants in house, we’ll reference a few things from SR Education. It’s been a valuable foundation to have and learn from SR Education.

Sally Rogerson and the staff at S.R. Academy are amazing. I just completed my 12 Month teacher training and I can’t recommend it enough. The amount of detail that goes into the training as well as the organization is phenomenal. The staff is so helpful and not intimidating. I learned skills I can use not only behind the chair but in my personal development as well. Highly recommend!!

SR Academy is versatile space. It’s where you can go if you’re feeling stuck or lacking confidence in your hairdressing career. It’s a place you can go if you want to hone your craft to raise your prices. It’s a place where you can build community and camaraderie with other hairdressers across the country. The list goes on and on..

SR Education is great for all levels of hairdressing! Straight forward and easy to follow with excellent results. A+

Beautiful academy with cutting edge education, Social media training and opportunities to be exposed to the global hair industry, through their continued education courses.
