I T S Beauty Academy

So, according to other reviews, not the place to go for color. Got it.
My daughter has an Afro, yes a big bushy 70’s Afro. I brought her here because I’m tired of paying $ 50-​$ 60 only for her to have a straight puffy Afro that looks like a lions mane after being flat ironed or blow dryed.
We came on a weekday morning so there was no wait at all.
The student took her time (1.5 hours) to blow out and flat iron her hair. For only $ 13 it turned out really nice. We got a way better result here then at any regular salon which is way more expensive. The only downside was that it was very time consuming. I will definitely be bringing her back so that the future hairdressers of El Paso can get more experience with ethnic hair.

Terrible place to have your hair done. I realize this beauty school is an inexpensive way to get your hair done but this place is not worth it! I had a very similar experience to what the other reviewer (Ashley) had. I went in to have my hair colored and highlighted. The student working on my hair was very pleasant and my color went beautifully. My highlights on the other hand were a nightmare. They should have been blonde but turned out to be green instead! The instructor (a very old woman) panicked and added some sort of red toner to my hair. What was supposed to be a light ash brown color with light highlights turned out to be a big red mess! My hair is so damaged that other salons won’t even attempt to fix it! The instructor was very unsupportive and just said she hoped I liked red! On top of that they charged me $ 100 and will not refund my money. My advise is to spend a little more money and go to a regular salon.

Absolutely horrid service. Im from LA originally and Ive had my hair done plenty of times at beauty schools. It’s a great way to save on cost while having your hair done by up and coming talent. I figured it would be the same in El Paso. WRONG. The night before a very important Army function I went in to have my naturally ash blonde hair highlight’s touched up. They turned my hair into an orange, copper, fried disaster. The girl doing my hair was a doll. Really sweet and knew what she was doing, but the instructor hag on the floor yelled at her multiple times and told her to do something that she knew wouldnt fly with my hair. Long story short they messed it up so badly I was there 6 hours. AND THEN STILL CHARGED ME. The next day I had to go to a legit salon and have it color corrected and fixed which cost me 150 dollars. They were rude, they spoke all kinds of crap in Spanish (My husband is Mexican and Im from LA. Wrong white girl to talk crap in Spanish around)… All in all a horrible experience. The school’s headmaster called two days later and I stuck up for the student tooth and nail and let the instructor have it on speaker. Avoid getting your hair done here. Not because the students suck, but because the instructors are horrible.
