Proteges Training Salon

I was nervous to get my hair cut due to a bad cut at a walk-​in salon a few weeks ago. I took my chances with Kirsten. I’m glad I did because she gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. She listened to what I asked for and she delivered it perfectly, even with the challenge of having to work with botched bangs. She also made recommendations regarding the best way to add color to my hair – and she was right. My hair color is perfectly blended, natural and healthy. I was all smiles when I left the salon that day. The whole experience was relaxing, too!

Although there was a slight miscommunication regarding the service I wanted, all went well regardless. I wanted a multi tonal color that would mask my grays. The color is AMAZING! The service was amazing. I was offered a beverage. I was given a complimentary hand massage while my color was processing. This is a training salon so things take a bit longer than usual, but no one is born knowing everything. I appreciated the time she took to get the results I wanted. I was very impressed as I have been living in Europe for the past 6 years and this is my first color since I returned to the U.S. For the products and time that was spent on my hair, the price was very reasonable. Highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Proteges a while, this review is specifically about Reid. Of all the Proteges stylists I’ve had, here’s what I have noticed about Reid: I took a picture of a color I wanted and what I got looked nothing like the picture. The situation was rectified, I’m just saying he’s only adequate – his skills need work, keep your requests simple for Reid. Also, he will attempt to get you to come in how often he wants you to come, not how often you want to come (for color retouches, cuts, etc.). He will go so far as to wait while you book your next appointment to make sure you schedule a return sooner rather than later. Also, he really pushes the Aveda products, seems disappointed if you don’t spend a wad. Every. Single. Time. His motive is to increase what you spend, not to increase his skill level or your customer satisfaction.

Do not go to this place for up dos!!! I’ve had some great haircuts and even color and highlights from the students… But they charged me for a bridal up do practice which was horrible. I didn’t go back but stupidly still sent my bridal party girls for their up dos and most of their hair didn’t turn out well at all. Stick to cuts and color here!

Sheena was an excellent hair stylist. This place is professional, modern, and fun.
Affordable, and worth it if you are aware it is a training salon.
I have curly hair. She took the time to cut it dry and wet, and style it. She listens and is quite personable.
Go.

Sheena cut my hair and did an awesome ombré dye job on the lower half. She encountered some trouble with my hair because it tangles so easy but was calm and on top of it. Definitely worth a visit to this place. It is a training salon so if you’re short on patience or time don’t go — it’s not helpful to the stylists. They do excellent work and are super nice.

Went on 10÷12÷13 for updos for a wedding. Three of us. Can’t say enough stuff about how nice everything was. The staff is really nice and our updos were fantastic. I can’t remember who did my hair but she has been there 2 years and is leaving the for Mark Pardo further down Juan Tabo, in two months. Nice atmosphere and I will for sure be back. $ 25 for an updo.

Very nice staff who do a great job — especially Lavera!
