Regency Beauty Institute Student Salons

Emily Velasco was awesome! She made my hair look better than I thought possible, I will be returning for sure!

I’ve been coming to this place a while now and I have never had a complaint until a couple months ago. Usually I don’t have an appointment and just come on a walk in basis. I always trust the girls to cut my hair when they ask how I specifically want something done, I’ll show a picture and then leave it in their hands for ” whatever you think is best. ” Who can beat a $ 9 haircut anyway? The girls are always friendly, I’ve never had a problem with that, and the instructors frequently check their work which makes me feel even more at ease.
My only complaint which really turned me off was when I actually MADE an appointment two weeks in advance for a make up application and hair cut for my graduation pictures… Received a confirmation a couple days in advance, then when I show up they tell me ” sorry we don’t have enough students for your appointment. ” Really? This is EXACTLY why I made an appointment… And then you don’t even call to notify me of the situation, and leave me frantically trying to find someone else? Obviously, I was on the books. Then I’m assuming the manager tried to smooth things over by telling me they will do the haircut or both (I don’t exactly remember the offer) for free… But it needed to be THAT DAY when obviously I told him I was getting it at a specific time for a reason. If anything they should have giving you a voucher to use whenever convenient. If you’re going to have an ability to set appointments, you should definitely KEEP them.

If I could give negative stars I would. I started to write my whole story here, but no one really cares. I got a really bad dye job here and the girl Yvette that did my hair was so mean and rude. No nice way to put it. At one point in the appointment she called me a racist. When I left the salon I had a yellow racing strip up the back of my black hair and my roots were dyed orange. How embarrassing for the stylist that did it. Take warning, your at the Fiesta Mall that should be the first clue… If your as cheap as me and want some quality, go up to Toni and Guy…

Amazing. I am at that point in life when the white hair is intruding on my never ending attempts at staying bottle blonde.
I went in there, as a visitor from Seattle, and when the instructor, Denise, very lovely lady, looked at my hair she said how about this and described something that was greek to me but I said okay, I am open. The stylist did a weave and a toner and I am so thankful for her talents.
Compared to the schools up here in Seattle, Regency is really professional, pleasant and the students are really enjoying their work there.
Too bad I can’t go to Arizona for every hair appointment.

I came to this place after not being able to find the International Academy of Hair Design (their address was wrong on Unilocal,how disappointing)
However i came here at 5 and they seemed to be closing up, but i knew from the other schools that they would open up again at 5:30, but to be safe i asked one of the students waiting outside for her ride. She said she THINKS they open again at 5:45. So i went to the Fiesta mall which was next to door to kill time.
5:45 i came back. They/​the teacher (it seems?) asked me if i had an appointment, but the sign outside said Walk-​Ins Welcome. But they accepted me anyway. THe teacher seemed very busy, and i could not tell what her mood was. I waited on the couch for 15 minutes.
Nice looking place, brown and pale yellow walls with simple décor, to keep it modern. Easy on the eyes. It seemed a bit dark inside since it was night time and the brown looks darker at night, maybe the purpose is to give a calming effect?
A nice student came up to me and introduced herself. She was very friendly. She washed my hair, it seemed to take forever. She gave me a nice long scalp massage, the longest i have ever had. It seemed to last 5 to 10 minutes. I have never done that for myself. It did not need to be that long. She seemed to take forever with the shampooing and then with the conditioner and another scalp massage, whoa it was nice but really unnecessary because i like to be in and out promptly.
I was beginning to wonder if her fingers/​hands were ever going to get tired at one point?
Anyways back to the chair. She took her time parting my hair (i asked for a trim) I’m sure she was careful. I noticed she did everything RIGHT, i used to have a friend who practiced her hair cutting skills on my hair. So i knew the process of parting hair in 4 sections. But it really took long. (yes my hair is really long too but i guess with experience she will become faster)
Now do you want me to get started on the blow drying? that took forever too. I feel bad for saying this. I know she is a student practicing, maybe i was her first client, but i doubt it.
THe blow drying took longer than necessary. she kept putting a lot of serum in my hair, i guess it was to keep the frizz away.
the conclusion, my hair looked nice, for a trim. it was only $ 9.
BRING CASH because they dont accept tips on your debit/​redit cards. I felt bad i did not havea lot of cash but i gave her what i could and she was really nice. I will come back and give her more cash tip next time.
Come for a cheap n simple hair cut. i cant say more for a drastic haircut

Went to the salon at the beauty institute for a hair cut yesterday and loved it! I don’t even think that supercuts can beat this price ($ 9 for a woman’s wash, cut and dry), but the environment is that of a place I would pay $ 30 – 40 for a cut. The student who cut my hair did a great job and her supervisor came to check up periodically. Both were wonderful! I will definitely go back!
