Haskana Institute of Cosmetology

With each visit Haskana never fails to make me happy! I’ve been coming here since my sophomore year of high school to get my hair done for prom/​homecoming. I was a bit skeptical to come here after I heard it was beauty students doing the work but the prices were extremely appealing especially when you compare it to the $ 75 it usually is to get an up-​do at a professional salon. I believe my up-​do was around $ 25 and a half up half down style was only $ 12! The workers do such a great job & the prices make this place even better. I know they do makeup, cuts & mani/​pedis too. Definitely save your money & come here for whatever you need! Thanks Haskana!

I have been very happy with the personalized service Haskana offers. The students really care and remember you. They talk listen and share even more then regular full priced salons. Thank you all, especially Anne, for the great services!!!

Manicure, terrible. Haircut, pretty good.
If you have longer than shoulder length hair, be prepared for a 1.50−2 hour hair cut. Nothing glitzy or special about the manicure, I say terrible because the whole thing fell apart immediately as I walked out the door. They do not have any sort of drying device, I sat there for almost 30 min chatting with by beautifician, yet the nail was still not dried. She even sprayed some kind of aerosol spray to make it dry faster.
I tried haircut and mario triccoci beauty school in libertyville, and it is definitely better and cheaper here. Maybe because I had someone experienced rather than a newbie, whom I had at mario triccocio.
Pretty good customer service, but also depends on who your front desk person is. Some of the teachers know what they are talking about, some are kind of spacey.

I went there to get my hair done around Valentines Day! It was awesome! They did a great job highlighting my hair and it was way cheaper than the regular salons. A great way to save money!

I had been here twice & m really impressed. Very cheap & good services. Students do their job really good & don’t bother if you feel the service you want to get needs perfection, the teacher will assign the task to a senior experienced student.

Cheap haircut (7 $ for men’s haircut at the time of this writing) without any compromise for quality. I believe my hairdresser’s name is Halene. I told her once what I wanted, her instructor told her how to approach it, and that was it. Walked out from the salon with exactly what I wanted. One of the better haircuts I have had, even compared to non– school haircuts. Will definitely be going back.

Great service and price ! I have been going here for a couple years now and have had several services. Trina (The teacher) helped me so much with fixing my hair.

Pleasant, competent people. They did exactly what I wanted and it cost a fraction of what it would have at a regular salon.
Colleen was my hair stylist and I couldn’t be more pleased. I can’t wait to try other services with them

Great haircut! I wasn’t aware that beauty schools give haircuts, but I was pleasantly surprised how great they can perform! I believe the name of my stylist was Stevie (employees may correct me if I’m wrong). I went in for a men’s cut. Stylist was very attentive to my haircut specifications while showing incredible attention to detail that I am not used to getting (those sideburns are a tough cookie, lemme tell ya). Stylist lived up to the name because she seems to treat her craft as an artist would, and my hair was the canvas. Did I mention it’s incredibly inexpensive? Professional salon quality haircut (and/​or coloring when applicable) for a great price.
From the stylist to management, I had a great and welcoming experience and will definitely come back again!

I went to haskana a few years ago & loved it. It was a perfect fit for me with the flexible scheduling. The things i loved about Haskana is the learn at your own pace/​hands on approach, having the ability to maintain my life (job & daughter) outside of school, and lastly the teachers are successful hairstylists outside of being a teacher. The only suggestion I have is to ask and/​or speak up if you have any questions. I would recommend haskana to any friends thinking of a career in cosmetology.

I have been going to Haskana for over 2 years now.
I have received quality services at great prices. All the
student have been good and the teachers are very nice.

Did a great job! Loved my hair, it was exactly what I wanted! Definitely coming back again!

This is a hair school. You can get a cut for $ 10, or $ 7 if you’re a guy. They do ask for tips.
I’ve gotten great cuts here every time. It’s always a gamble though, of course, since the they’re students. But honestly, this place is better than lots of other places (like Great Clips).
If you’ve got the guts to let to let 18 – 25 year old girls (because they’re usually around that age) cut your hair, this place can do it well for a great price. If you want an even cheaper cut but a higher chance of getting… well, a bad cut, check out Empire Beauty School in Arlington Heights. Only $ 5 there.
AS FAR AS HIGHLIGHTS —
Don’t get highlights here! The girl who did mine did a terrible job — I didn’t like the color, she didn’t get to the roots, and it looked streaky.
Cuts are great here, but not highlights.
