I've been there quite a few times, and I have to say for my limited budget to spend on hair, I am impressed with the work they do. I almost always go there for colour/root touch ups, and so far I have not been dissapointed. The prices are very low because the students are performing the service, but there are teachers there that check over their work at every major point of the process, like before they mix the colour, they make sure they get the right dye, and when they wash it out, the teachers make sure they put the toner on for the right amount of time. I used to have to spend over 100$ at a salon to get my hair to look good, now I get compliments all the time for a 30$ service. You can also ask for a 50% off coupon at your first service. They will give you a card and you give it to the front desk at the check out to receive the service even cheaper.
However, keep in mind this is a school. They do offer you coffee when you come in, but the space is crowded, very loud, sometimes people bring their kids there to wait while they have their appt. The students are still learning, so they may yank on your hair harder then you're used to, and it takes a lot more time. Like 3 hours for a colour appt. So be prepared for that.
Over all, very good for the money, if you're willing to spend some more time.    -
