you get what you pay for ... sometimes you get even more! like said in the last review ... if you're picky about your hair then quit being a CHEAPASS and go to a PROFESSIONAL salon with people that are already licensed and have been doing hair professionally. at this school they call they're students "FUTURE professionals" DUHHH! this is a GREAT place to get hair services when you have the right amount of patience, time and openness. YOU'RE GOING TO A SCHOOL not a SALON!! its a learning facility for them and a great deal for us! i've been getting my hair cut AND colored there for the past 4 years and so far so good! i think thats because i'm not asking for too much from a student expecting a makeover!! so if you're the type of person to get a simple cut or color done and you're not someone with jet black hair trying to be platinum blonde or are trying to get over all highlights with hair down to the bottom of your back then maybe you'll apprecitate this place even more. then again i've also seen many a creative cut and color walk out those doors that rival many high end salons! also take the opportunity to get your makeup touch up complimentary after your great cut and/or color ... oh and especially after a facial! the school carries a great mineral makeup line too.
Pros: great atmosphere, very professional students and teachers
Cons: services may go over time, parking is extremely hard - parking lot is a block away on 7th between folsom and howard

SFIEC IS A SCHOOL!!!!!!!! so of course the stylists may run late, or mess up once...that is how they learn!! that is why you sign a waiver!!!! and 9 out of 10 times the clients are extremely happy...9 out of 10 ain't bad. i graduated from there in july and i recieved the best training that money can buy. I have been working at a salon for 3 months and i am already fully booked and have a wait list so that has to say something about the training i received! so for those of you that want quality for less and aren't in any kind of rush, this is for you. If you are very picky and crazy about your hair, skin, whatever...stop being cheap and go to a salon that will charge you an arm and leg, and try to be more understanding. And one more thing, while i attended SFIEC, i had the cutest hair that i have ever had, and *gasp!* students did it!!! that says a lot!! so please don't let these angry reviews persuade you to go elsewhere!! afterall, most people will write a review only when they are angry!! not when they are happy!
Pros: cutting edge style ... they know the latest hair fashion!
Cons: parking can be a challenge
