Got my hair done earlier today by Sandra and I don’t regret a thing! She was very patient and very personable. Loved my time there as well as the new hairstyle! Went from nasty orange hair to a beautiful light color. 10/10 recommend !
Sandra did a great job on my hair trim and scalp treatment with the tea tree mint products, and it felt so relaxing and refreshing walking out with confident, healthy hair. She also completed my look with a great nail polish color. I was originally going to go with a nude color, but she recommended a beautiful shade of purple and Im in love with it! She has great taste in style and knows how to make the client comfortable and relaxed. Will be going back for sure to do an all over hair color with her in the near future!
I brought my daughter in for her first ever professional highlights. The girl Johanna could not have been nicer! She spent almost 7 hours taking care of her color, cut, blow dry AND CURLED HER WHOLE HEAD!!! (My daughter has a massive amount of hair) The teacher kept checking in and made sure it was exactly what my daughter wanted. I am so pleased with the service and will definitely be coming back for more.
I had such a lovely experience!! Sandra is my go to stylist. I asked her for some baby highlights and she did such a beautiful job!! The blended so nicely with the previous highlights I had and did a root touch up as well. My hair felt so healthy after the service. Thank you so much Sandra!!
I love going to hair professionals and always had wonderful experiences. Since I haven’t been there in a while from being out of state for a year my hair color was really a mess and I was nervous about what they can do for it.Sandra was my stylist scheduled for my appointment. As soon as Sandra had me at her station for consultation she knew exactly how I wanted my hair color to be. She was so nice and made me very happy. Sandra made you feel like your greatest friends and special. I had the best hair appointment and she spent all her time taking care of me. From turning my orangey hair to the lightest blonde that I never had. She did great with the deep conditioning treatment and styled my hair with curls. It is so pretty. I am so happy to be back here in Illinois so I can have my hair always done at Hair professionals and requesting Sandra. Also the teacher was so very nice and really awesome. They are Both the best. Sandra thank you so much for a great hair color Appointment and making my hair have no orange in it at all. I have pictures to show before and after, but I don’t see how to on the google website on my phone how to add the pictures for the review. The pictures of my hair color by Sandra is Wow ,amazing, pretty 😃 and I am so very happy.Thank you Hair Professionals 😃
I used to love this place and it’s gone completely downhill with management. The environment is extremely stressful. I went to get a spa treatment. They used to have a separate room but apparently when you get anything done for spa related matters, you’re in a large room where people talk nonstop ubiquitously. Very rude, unprofessional, and it’s definitely not spa like. Keep in mind you’re exposed to other people in this room. I understand that it’s a school, but people should still lower their voices or at least not talk nonstop.I was reprimanded because I asked about it being quieter for a spa and it was extremely loud and they kept talking nonstop. Plus it sounded like a gym outside where people were slamming doors and so forth. I left more stressed out being there than coming in!When I gave my feedback, they gave me attitude ( Erica specifically). Myself and my friends are never going there again. I have been a loyal customer for several years. Apparently they just don’t care.Also when you get deep conditioning, expect to pay extra for blow dry. I understand paying extra if you want to blow out but just to simply dry your hair for a minute, it costs. Attitude among the students and the staff. No thank you! Never again!
I went last week because I had a appointment with Emily reyes and she did a amazing job I told her how I needed shorter hair because I can’t maintain my long hair with have a now 3 month old and she did everything I asked for she is truly amazing I will be recommending her to everyone!!!!
I want to say what an amazing and friendly school! Every time I’m here I always have a great experience! The teachers are friendly and are always there when a student needs help so they don’t mess up on a client’s hair. I just recently got a touch up and every time I go I ask for Vaso. She’s always friendly and does her best to make you feel comfortable. She always does an amazing job! They all do! Thank you for this wonderful experience!
Had a wonderful experience with my hair service today. The students are very polite and professional. The teachers were also great. I even learned a thing or two about hair I didn’t know before watching the teachers do demonstrations. My hair turned out wonderful. Thank you!
My mom and I visited Hair professionals last Wednesday for our hair appointment color touch up. My stylist was Agnus and my mom had Lauren.Agnus was so friendly and very nice. She was extremely professional. She is going to be a great hair colorist. She didn’t take long to apply the color and always checked on my color processing. She was excellent. My color turned out beautiful.Lauren took care of my mom’s color touch up appointment and she was very nice. Lauren made sure my mom had no color left around the side of her face and neck. Her work was very neat and clean. She had a great personality and was very welcoming. My mom’s color turned out really pretty too.Chrissy also took care of me. She was very nice too. She washed and styled my hair. I can’t believe how nice and smooth she made my hair. I never had my hair felt this soft and smooth after she styled my hair. It stayed smooth and it’s the fifth day. I love how my hair stayed soft this long and perfect. I’m so happy how she got my hair to stay so manageable and just so nice. I am definitely going to come back to buy the product she used in my hair.So far all the students I have met Sandra, Agnus, Lauren, Chrissy, and Alyssa are all truly great professionals and take great care of their clients. The teachers really are great and Carol is always the best too!Thank you so much :)
I attended a “Princess Party” here. I had never heard of Hair Professionals but I really wasn’t sure what to expect. My daughter and niece had the best time and this was NOT their first salon experience lol! Never got my own hair done at a school but I booked an appointment and came back that night. I love this place ...my girls and I will be back again and again ! The staff here really seemed to enjoy the day as much as we did. BEAUTIFUL work at a fraction of the price!
I am currently a student at HP, I have to say that I was surprised that management stepped up as quickly as they did to make sure all students were not going to loose their hours. It has been (my opinion) the best online education experience. It has brought us, as students closer together like family. You see your teams strength in the hardest of times, so to our educators thank you for doing the best job you can to provide a curriculum for us for 12 hours a day, making sure we are engaged and still have fun so that we keep up with our training, thank you to management for spicing things up all the time with guest speakers and online certifications. Finally thank you to my school mates I enjoy the time we spend together daily.
I brought my girls to the Princess Party here and I was blown away! The staff and students went out of their way with making this event wonderful. My girls loved their hair, makeup, and nails. The students were so kind and talented. The decorations, music, games, snacks, all hit the right mark on making it a cute and fun atmosphere! I’ve never been to Hair Professionals before but I am definitely coming back!
Ive been a student at HP for six months and the invaluable experience I have gotten from Lisa, Brianna, and Erica will help me in my future career. They have made me feel comfortable given that English is my second language and have empowered me to find my passion. I highly recommend this program for anyone who is looking to pursue a career in cosmetology.
I love Hair Professionals! I have many people to give 5 stars to but looks like I can only write one review so here it goes!First, savanah. I got 8 inches cut off my extremely long hair from Savanah and she made me feel so good through the process. Savanah made my hair look healthy and new! Thanks! Great job!Next, my daughters 12th birthday was coming up and what better way to celebrate with a group of tweens than makeovers?! Lisa was great and helped me plan a special day there with 9 girls! They got their hair done, nails painted, and light makeup. Each girls hair turned out SO beautiful! It was the perfect amount of curls and braids that made them feel fancy and special without looking like they were headed to a formal occasion. Each girl had something different and I was very pleased with that! They had fun with their nails and some got light makeup. Hair professionals had a backdrop for pictures and I thought that was a nice touch. I was also worried about how long this would take but these gals worked great to keep all 9 tweens moving along. They had a wonderful time! Ghada, Alyssa, Tamika, Evani, and Erika thank you for making my daughters birthday fun for them all! And Lisa, thanks for helping coordinate! I wish I could share pictures because I have a lot of good ones!
I brought my 4 year old daughter to the Hair Professionals special event Princess Party where she got her hair, nails and makeup done. They also had games and activities and music for all of the kids. It was a blast! The students were very energetic and worked great with the kids. My daughter loves her princess makeover. The atmosphere was adorable. My daughter had so much fun! We will be coming to this again in the future! Good job students and staff! Shout out to Mrs. Dargert for creating this event!
I liked my hair removal stylist Sierra. She treated me very carefully and politely, asked how exactly I wanted my eye brows done, asked for feedback multiple times during the procedure. Her instructor came and helped along the way too. I am very pleased with my treatment today.
Joann Marfoe has done my hair twice. Both times I was very happy with it. She did a blow dry that turned my curly frzzy hair into a sleek style that lasted for days. She also did an overall color which really brightened up my hair and matched my skin tone perfectly. The instructor was watchful and very helpful. I will be going back and recommending Joanne and the school to friends.
Hair professionals is an amazing school and salon full of intelligent and creative people! it is sad that anonymous people are bashing the school and making it to seem like a bad place, when in reality it is a positive environment! I am a returning student and chose this school to finish my dreams because of how much the teachers care for their students. They take the time out of their day to make sure that we will be the best hair stylist out there, and fill us with all the knowledge to make us successful. Brianna is a returning student also and shows us so much love and attention I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. ♥️MUCH LOVE FOR HAIR PROS!!!Alyssa becht
My hair stylist was Miranda B. She did a beautiful job on my ombre. This was my second time going to her for color and both times I received many compliments after. Ive also been to her many times for haircuts. Shes passionate about doing fun and cool things with color, but is also great at doing something more simple, like a straight cut, which I always go to Miranda for. She takes her time and checks with me carefully to find out what length and variation I want. Shes a student, so this place is VERY affordable, which means I can go back often for a trim. Getting my hair trimmed frequently makes it healthy and it grows faster! This school offers other great services too, like a normal salon does. And even though Miranda is a student, shes been there a long time, and theres always teachers in the room to help out if needed. Shes also styled my hair with braids, which was so pretty. No matter what I go in for, I always leave feeling refreshed and brand new.
I went in there for a trim but I ended up changing my mind and going to a short hair cut. Monica Munoz was the one who cut my hair and I loved it. She was very gentle with my hair and very precise, she also was very professional and made me feel comfortable around her. Overall I loved the experience with her and I would definitely be going back!
Had a Great experience w/ young lady who did my hair and instructor, Who was always available when any of her students needed her input or help. 🤗 I am from out of town and really needed a cut, hilights, color and style desperately. I walked away feeling like it was professionally done. Anybody I encountered the entire 3 1/2 hours that I was there, was very pleasant and helpful. Prior to this experience I have never been to a beauty school to get my hair done in my entire life. I would highly recommend this place for anybody who wants their hair done!
I would recommend this school to anyone who is serious about hair and makeup. The teachers are very knowledgeable and any question I have they always have answers. The main teacher Brianna is amazing is so helpful. I never felt so motivated to get up and come everyday for more things to learn. All staff and students are very friendly and welcoming, 5 star school
Waste of my time and effort going to school here, also want to thank my old teacher for absolutely nothing my time here and money was completely wasted this school did nothing to help my future at all even when I tried contacting them and figuring it out. “Oh call this number call this number” never any actual sit down help. Can’t believe what a waste of my time this was in my life. Unless you guys want to help me with my future and continuing education for someone who struggles with money then I will change my opinion on the school but for now after years of nothing then I will keep my opinion as is.
Been going here to get my hair and esthetics done for awhile. People, students, and staff are great.Usually been getting my hair done between Jahanah and Mikayla. Can’t praise them enough. I know they will be very successful in their new careers.First time today I did an eyebrow waxing. Student Brianna did a terrific job under the instruction of Erica. Went very well. Usually do facials with student Judy, who under the guidance of the instructor Carol does her job like a professional already.Instructors Lisa and Brianna are there to greet you with a smiling face and see to it that you are satisfied with services.Kudos to you all!!!!!!
I completed my cosmetology program at Hair Professionals and I am now back to do their student teaching program. Since the moment I stepped into Hair Pros for the first time, it has felt like home. The instructors truly care about their students, doing whatever they can to provide an excellent education and culture inside the school. I have always had the best mentors along the way that helped and are still helping me pave the path of my career. The well-being of students at Hair Pros has always been their first priority. As a licensed professional who now gets to oversee the work of these bright ladies getting their education, I am always so proud and amazed of the beautiful work they do! Anyone can tell just how passionate they are and how hard they work to become the greatest salon professionals they can be. I will always recommend Hair Professionals to anyone who wants to become a cosmetologist or esthetician, and I certainly recommend visiting Hair Pros for a wonderful salon experience!
Touch-up and highlights done by Kelly,Great Job.Spring come fast I’m ready.I have been coming here for over 6 years for a touch up every month. I also get highlights twice a year, my haircut every 3-4 months along with other services that are offered.TODAY was a different experience entirely at the desk when paying. Several additional charges that I have never paid before. I questioned the charges a was given an explanation. I had to go back in because things just didn’t add up. Again they explained they needed extra color etc..etc.. NEVER in 6 years have I paid so much for the same services.All new faces running the place. Be careful and question the price of everything they do. Very disappointed in HP.. you let let me down.
I got my hair styled by Sandra and she did an amazing job. She is very polite and listened to exactly what I wanted. If you want to get your hair styled or colored ask for Sandra!
Awesome place. Sandra was so sweet and made the whole experience super comforting amidst other students working on clients, it still felt like a you were cared for personally. Definitely would come back here. My facial and waxing far exceeded my expectations.
Love this place! Every time I go I ask for JoAnn. She does a great job and shes very friendly. Ive gotten my hair cut and highlighted by her and every time it is perfect! The rest of the staff is very friendly and full of compliments. The school itself is very clean and everyone is very welcoming. I couldnt recommend this place or JoAnn more!!
Ive been there twice and both times my hair was done beautifully! The first time was with highlights, which I havent done in along time and the second time was a short haircut. My hair was done both times by Brianna Rose, so please give them a try and ask for her! She not only does your hair the way you want it, she is very customer friendly!
Got a color and blow-dry. You can really tell these instructors teach these girls the way they should be taught. Sitting here watching how the students apply color and how they do the fun colors show they are not afraid to learn and grow. I have even bought my kids in for facials and they loved how they were able to get a facial with their friend in the classroom. All these negative reviews seem like they went in wanting everything free. This is a school as a reminder her, these students are learning. But I am glad I found this place. Was I skeptical by some negative reviews? Yes, but then again, look at all the positive reviews. Not a mistake at all!!!! Actually rebooked my color and kids facials😍
I had a great experience, very relaxing. Ebony was polite, very friendly, professional, and attentive throughout my time there, and informative about colors that would work with my natural hair color. My blowdry was beautiful, bouncy, lasting overnight ! The staff was friendly and I was very pleased with my overall experience !! I wish Ebony every success in the future. The customer service I would recommend. A divine experience and will be visiting again!!
I Loooove coming here. Erika always goes above & beyond with her exquisite talents Cutting & Coloring my hair!! She is the Best Hairsylist yet!! Be sure & ask for her! Also, the Teachers are very nice. Annnd the Products they sell are phenomenal!!
I am currently an esthetics student here at HP and I could not possibly be any more satisfied with the program ! Our amazing instructor Erica, is always determined to make sure we are learning new techniques everyday! For anyone deciding to enroll here, do it ! With her experienced guidance you will most definitely graduate a success!!
I have always had a great experience with the hair department of HP college. When I was in high school, I got my hair (and makeup) done there for prom, and just recently for a wedding. Unlike the hair department, which is at a different building in Palos Hills, today was actually my first experience with the spa/makeup department (the other building). I had made my appointment a week or two in advance, and was told the day of the appointment that no one was there to do my makeup. So, I dont understand why they make appointments if you cant promise that your students will be there...Anyway, I highly suggest the hair department (5 stars separately). If you make an appointment for makeup, you may show up and no one be there to do it.
I havent gotten my eyebrows waxed for about 3 years and I came to Hair Professionals to get them done! Kaitlyn Burke did such a great job! I was very hesitant to get them done but I am so glad that Kaitlyn was the one who did them! Its not easy for me to trust anyone with my eyebrows, but I trust her with them!
Came to hair professionals for an all over color and they did an amazing job! I am very pleased with the end result, the color was just what I wanted! The staff was super friendly and it was just an overall great experience. I would definitely recommend going here for any hair services!
Sarah McCatty has done my husband and my hair several times. She is. Wry professional and does an excellent job. Her and the other students are friendly and work well together. I enjoy my visits and leave looking beautiful. Stop by and ask for Sarah for a great job!
I am an older Asian man who have been coming here for over a year now. Im very pleased with every aspect of my visit. Examples such as setting an appointment on the same day, coming back a few days later for a touch up for a spot missed during my hair coloring, rescheduling, etc. The people here make me feel comfortable. I am very particular with my hair as I get older. My go to stylist (Iesha) is very thorough and does a great job every time. It will be hard to replace her. Thank you HP, Palos Hills, IL.
Ive been here twice. Very happy with both cuts Ive received. The students are very receptive to feedback (i.e., I like this, I dont like that, etc.).I like that they have Miss Carly around to help supervise and answer questions. She (and Im sure other teachers) is wonderful.Clean and well maintained facility, too.
Allie (sp?) at Palos Hills was so kind, professional, and seriously talented! Love her work, will definitely be back!
Best experience ever. Stylist was VERY knowledgeable! I have VERY curly hair and she totally rocked out my hair cut , style and the deep conditioning was amazing my hair looks aooo healthy!!
Loved my stylist Alyssa she is awesome and did exactly what I wanted and Lindsey so helpful as well with all my questions. Would recommend coming here. Feeling great again. Love my hair and color! Thank you
I am greatly enjoying my time here at hair professionals and furthering my career to be an instructor for cosmetology. The staff is amazing,helpful,fun,and down to earth. I am so happy I decided to further my education and attend this great school. These teachers give a good vibe and make you want to attend and learn. Not to mention when enrolling with Stephaine she made me feel so excited to join and went thru detail of all my financial aid and is very understanding as well as kind. I am starting to build such a bond with these amazing people and already and wouldnt trade it for a single second.
The place is terrible, and they’re so unprofessional. I went in for an inch trim from my hair, but they took off about 4 inches of my hair. I asked for a V-cut and it took the student and the 2 trainers to understandAND THEY STILL CUT IT STRAIGHT! They didn’t do any touch-ups on the tips of the hair, and it literally looks like someone chopped it off! The other students were constantly texting in front of the clients, and one student was eating Cheetos while working on a doll’s hair. The student I was with didn’t know how to straighten bangs, and she told me that she never straightened bangs before despite the fact that she’s graduating in 5 months. I don’t know what they “teach” them in this school, but it’s definitely not beauty skills!
I have been coming to gabby for a while now. She always gives me the best color,cut,style. She also gives the best scalp treatments. When I walk in I have the worst headache. I see gabbys smile. And with her great head massage. I walk out with my hair looking great and my hair looking great! I highly recommend gabby p. 😘
*IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT REVIEWS CONTEMPLATING THIS SCHOOL DO NOT DO IT* let this review be a testimony this SCHOOL IS A JOKE. I went there for a “tour” aka they talk your ear off about the program making it seem great and than you walk into the classroom and all you see are girls sitting on their phones acting like it’s play time! You couldn’t even tell who was the student vs teacher! Head educator teacher just quit so I can assure you the hair program is going directly down the toilet. The website says you learn one thing and you get to the school ask the students the questions they’ll tell you no we don’t learn that. I know price of tuition is cheaper than a few but do yourself a favor and spend the extra money I promise you will regret being a student here!
Wish I could give this two separate ratings one for the facility/teachers and a separate rating for the student stylist that cut my hair. I would give the student Sarah M. FIVE stars for the job she does. I have thick natural curly hair, so it can be a challenge to cut, The first time I went there Sarah seemed to have a natural instinct on how to cut my hair, Sarahs skill and some tips for her teacher and I will say it was by far one of the better haircuts I have had anywhere. The last time I was in she cut and color my hair. another good cut and she did a fast, neat and great job on the color.Unfortunately teacher I had met on my first visit no longer worked there and my experience with the teachers this last visit in February that bumped my review down to three stars. In fact I would rate them 1 star. I had made a 7 p.m. appointment with Sarah, I got there about 6:45 the teacher at the desk was really giving me attitude saying that you have to be there before 7 to get a color done. I said well it is quarter too so what is the problem an she said well there is not enough time (they close at 9 ???)I I said well Sarah took the appointment and was told me getting here at 7 was not a problem. I said can she try and fit me . explaining I work pretty far and was not sure when I could arrange another evening sitter to come back. Her reply was Well my other job is on the North Side and I have a two year old and I have to be here at 6. Finally she said I would have to pick on or the other that Sarah could not do both a cut and color (despite that being the monthly special) So I chose color, I sit in Sarahs chair, pick a color then the one teacher said NO I AM NOT APPROVING IT, so you cant color her hair Finally the other teacher approved it. In the end Sarah was able to cut, color and blow out my hair... I was done before 8:30 and clients that were with other students that had been there before me were still not done. I wish I could say that was the worst I witnessed, however the two teachers were so rude and uprofessional to both clients and students. All they cared was that they got to go home at 9 p.m. on the dot. Other students were coming up to Sarah ask questions and when she asked the teacher they said they were scared to because they did not want to get yelled at. By 8:15 the teachers were pushing all the girls to do their closing routines despite there being several customers, in fact the teacher INSISTED one student go and rinse the color off her clients (the girl was getting blonde foil highlights that had not been on for more than 15 minutes). The student, the client and another student told her color had not been on long enough and the teachers response was you have to get her rinsed out so we can get out of there on time. The student listened and few minutes later came running over to ask Sarah and another student what to do because the clients hair was a bit orangey (because the color was not left on long enough). Because this teacher was rushing the students to do closing duties 30 minutes prior to close some poor girl ended up with orange hair. I understand this is school and things could go wrong. If it is an honest mistake by a student well that is okay but by negligence of a teacher that is unacceptable. If I was paying to send my child here I would be really upset the students spent more time asking each other stuff because the were afraid the teachers would yell at them. And also a big part of working in a salon is not just hair care, styling and cleaning it is customer service and the two teachers I witnessed that night were lacking.
This is teaching college so keep in mind theyre learning. But Sandra, who did my mani and pedi was a treat to deal with. Judy, did an awesome facial, great attention to detail, she is also a pleasure! Professional and friendly! Plus theyre having an August promo 40% off. My no chip and pedi came out to $21!!! Anyway, definitely going back. Bravo!!
WHO IS RUNNING THIS PLACE??? EVERY SINGLE TEACHER WHO RAN THIS PLACE ALL LEFT BEFORE IT GOT SHUT DOWN! Teacher that is teaching in cosmetology got her license the beginning of this year!!! Student teacher does most of the teacher and she’s a student herself! Called for prices and all they did was say uh uh I don’t know- didn’t even know what brand they used for hair color!? Really????? My 12 year old could run this place better. Wow
Hi my name is Caridad Lopez, I would like to share on how Alana Brown keeps me posted thru Social media about services, products and treatments. And I enjoy watching all her make up tutorials and the before and after looks are beautiful. I will definitely book my appointment when I return to Chicago! I need a fresh look too! Thank you
Don’t have much to say about the beauty school however I know the esthetics program is awful! Had a teacher teaching with no teaching certificate and have been through at least 6 staff members in the last year! Mrs WANDA ZACHARY now has students writing reviews about themselves/school and prints the good ones out and hand delivers them like some kind of trophy. You learn two things- facials and waxing and you are on your own with the rest. Ask any former student and they will tell you what a waste of money and time this is. Owner should be ashamed of herself. “Erin” responding to these reviews does not even work at Palos school but is acting like she can make a change. Absolute sh*t hole
My mom is a student there, and I sometimes go get my trims done by her. I love coming there and her teachers are very nice, and she met lots of good friends there. She will be done soon and I wish her the best in this career ;)Victoria Panek
Currently attending this school and I can honestly say I’m shocked with how well the staff is handling the pandemic. No one could have predicted but the instructors have had great communication and have been as helpful as possible. They are going above and beyond what is expect from an instructor & school.
If u actually care about ur future u will run as far as u can away from this establishment! U walk in teachers are all on phones. Classroom has a camera where u get facials u can see it on ceiling. Bathrooms have disgusting toilet seats that are never clean and no soap have the time. Hair class room is so small u can’t move . Products are expired and have collected so much dust. They can’t keep employees here. As soon as better opportunities approach they all go running. So many students regret coming here. Don’t make the mistake.
I came to HP once and had a so so experience..thought I’d give it another try.Now, I know to never make that mistake again!The students are on their own... they really don’t have anyone over seeing their work, unless they actively SEARCH for an instructor.Carly was the “instructor” but she did VERY LITTLE “instructing” and had an awful attitude when asked for assistance!I was really SHOCKED to witness this and felt so sorry for the students😫The instructor seemed to have a huge ego and was blatantly RUDE and disrespectful to the students and to me... the client!!!!!!Completly unacceptable behavior!!I should have walked out immediately!!!Maybe someone needs to explain her role to her?? Isn’t she there to teach these young girls?? I’ve never found intimidation to be a worthy teaching method, but it seems this is Carly’s method.Truly inexcusable to treat the students and clients in this manner!My student was nice but clearly nervous and unsure of cutting hair!!Carly was nowhere to be found and it wasn’t a busy day!!!Carly knew the student was struggling, but she didn’t bother to “teach” ... instead she left her alone!! HORRIBLE for the students!!!HORRIBLE for the client!!!Other schools have instructors on the floor, actually “teaching” and are assisting students!Other schools are less expensive and you will leave MUCH HAPPIER, guaranteed!!!!!If you’ve never been to HP... you’re lucky.If you’re thinking of going... do yourself a favor and go elsewhere!There are plenty of schools in the area..Cameo(Oak Lawn) Capri(Oak Forrest) or Mario Tricoci(Bridgeview) ... you will save yourself $$ and a whole lot of FRUSTRATION🤦🏻♀️🤦♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏼♀️
Great place! I came here instead of cameo and I will never go to cameo again, it’s so much nicer here and the students are taught so much better and do an amazing job. Ask for Alla when you get your hair done, she’s great!
I have been at hair professional career college for two weeks and i enjoy it so much it is a fun and professional school. The teachers are so down to earth and they make sure you down strand the work. You will never feel under pressure or feel stress out.
Place has gone downhill. No new sign ups, unappreciated teachers and students are seen as just more money for owner. So many students have been screwed out of the education they were promised and it is a very sad overall situation. Owner has shown her face maybe once or twice in an entire year- doesn’t even introduce herself to the people who are paying her THOUSANDS of their hard earned money. Sold the esthetics building to save themselves money and screwed entire program over! Her son who she hired won’t even look at you when he comes in and the whole family is just very ignorant. I’m so disappointed this place is even a federally funded school!
I am a student here at the Palos Hills location and I highly recommend this school. My instructor, Carly, is amazing and so generously helpful whenever I have a question. She has helped me be successful in all of the services I provide and if it werent for her this school wouldnt be as amazing as it is.
Always happy with my color service. Kayla and Lilian did an amazing team work on my bleach touch up. They are the best to recommend. They show great positive attitudes and enthusiasm with their work.
I went in for an all over color. I have been using box color on my hair and I was no longer happy with how my hair looked. Sarah helped pick a shade that brought me back to my natural hair color. Very happy with the results!
I just would like to take a minute to say how proud I am of our students and Hair Professionals! All have stepped up Big time during this difficult time. We are loving our online classes!! Thank you for making this happen.
I am back again! Sarah is my favorite stylist and amazing. She’s so sweet and she’s very knowledgeable. She helps so much when you can’t make up your mind about a color
Love the esthetics team there! But am very saddened by the loss of their “esthetics only” building... Wax room at hair campus is the size of a closet! No proper ventilation and it feels like an actual sauna in there! Has perfect option for a window in there but nothing seems to be working.. Walls are so plain it looks like you’re in a jail cell! They do great work but the setting it takes place in ruins it. I have also received facials there however ONE facial room in whole building and it’s right next to a computer lab and washing machines and it is so loud!!! ALL you can here is washer clinking to the one next to it. Can’t get the relax “zen” feeling you would get at the esthetics building because as soon as you do you can hear students walking by OR blow dryers blowing like crazy... . Only other option is getting a facial in the CLASS room.... Ruins the whole atmosphere. It stinks because I’ve chosen to go to other salons/schools because of this and turned many friends away as well. Come on HP
This place exceeded my expectations!! We came her for my daughter to get a updo for her boyfriends prom and the service was amazing that we received from all the staff. They listened to what we wanted and looking to achieve and they blew me away with the results. Highly recommended this place and we will definitely be back. Thank you again.
A hidden gem in the Southwest suburbs. The service is always great. The instructors have always been helpful. If you ever unsure about experimenting with your hair or are experience a personal hair disaster this is the place to go.
Lisa, a teacher at this school is THEE ABSOLUTE BEST! She has such a great vibe and energy and personality and puts the students first! Brianna is also great :)
Brianna Picciariello is an amazing colorist! I have extremely damaged hair, and she not only transformed it into lusious healthly silk, but took me from black to platinum blonde! I highly recommend her services!
I got a scalp treatment by Karolina and I was very satisfied. She knows what’s she is doing and does a good job. Would recommend. 11/10
Brianna P is absolutely wonderful! I went to get my hair done and she is always on point! I highly recommend her for all your hair needs!
I highly recommend getting a scalp treatment... super relaxing & great for your hair. Ask for Angy ... shes the best! Shes very dedicated to providing top notch service & very kind!
This school is a joke. Pay a lot of money only to be “taught” by a person who sits on her phone all day with ear buds in. If your not one of her girls, she doesn’t give you clients. Education should be more than just being told to read a chapter. No demonstrations either. Many students have voiced concerns and nothing done. Advice...pay a little more and go to a more reputable school.
Went here about 10 years ago... they made it sound like a dream to go there and tuition was cheap. Was there for about a few months and didn’t learn a thing. The teachers they had let the students do whatever they wanted and then let them go to the floor to work on clients. I needed to take a leave of absence due to and emergency family issue. They would not let me take the leave of absence and i was forced to quit. Forward 10 years later I’m in a financial school debt with them. Take the time to look into the schools and background of them.
Went down hill last two years. Every single employee has since left because management is an absolute joke. Underpaid staff and overpriced tuition to get thirty minutes of book work and spend the other 10 hours watching your phone and doing the same service over again because teachers are too underpaid to care what students learn or not. Owner oughta be ashamed of herself
If you are looking for great service go and see Sandra T. I recently had my make-up and a glue pedicure done by her and she did a phenomenal job. I look forward to going back and seeing her again.
So made a appointment two weeks agoWent in for the appointment today after having to sign 3 Consent Forms and the Clerk being so rudeMy Daughter was told her 9 year old had to go by herself because I was her grandmaI’m not her parent or even legal guardian but they said the mom couldn’t go back with herI didn’t sign the forms so I shouldn’t be the one over seeing what the we’re doing with herThis place is a joke nowI used to go there years ago and now I remember why I quit going there
Hair Professionals Career College is awesome, my daughter Keishia Coney attends here and I get nothing but professional pampering. Love my girls Carol, Christine & Carly. Smoochez! 💓
This school is so unprofessional and disgusting. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The teacher just watches movies and eats her keto meals. This school is draining of your dreams. Spend the extra money and go to a better school.
Got my nails done. Didn’t like the toes, messed up completely on my no chip. I ask kindly if it was okay to not pay since I wasn’t satisfied, the girl gave me attitude. NEVER GO FOR NAILS, THEIR NAIL POLISH IS EXPIRED
Alana is so good at what she does Ill definitely be coming back. She makes you feel comfortable and very patient with her clients.
If there is a zero star that is what I am foing to give them. This school is terrible! Never, ever go to this place for anything wven if they offer lower price. Theiir manager is rude and such a shame to be even be a manager. They need better people to run this business/school. They make you pay for the services that are awfully done. What a total shame!!!! They are just there for the money. Go somewhere else!
The service was amazing here Erika cut and did a scalp treatment and a keratin treatment on my hair and it’s absolutely amazing I hated getting my hair cut because almost everytime more is cut then I wanted but she did it perfectly and did everything I asked for she’s very sweet and friendly too please ask for her she is very very very good at what she does
MY daughter loved it and they are really good at it
I went to Krystine Bushnell Wow she did a great job I love the color and the cut thanks so much Im sure you are going to make a lot of people very happy😀😀😀
Too gloomy, atmosphere is dull and unwelcoming, was hoping it would be more upbeat and happy since its a school. if i could give .5 stars i would but thats not an option. youre better off going to an actual salon
Sarah did a great job with my hair. Great attention to detail. Also prices were very reasonable. Overall great experience.
As being a student here for over a year I really love being here! The teachers and education is amazing! All the students are very talented and patient. I learn something new everyday! 😊
I received my first body wrap and facial from Kaitlyn Burke. The experience was so calming and my skin feels amazing!
I love coming here and getting my hair done by Sabina . Super professional place filled with good energy. Great with explaining the process of things. 😊
I got a scalp treatment, hair trim, and mani/pedi from Cassie. I would recommend her to anybody who needs any kind of hair service done.
I found that one of the newer teachers is very unprofessional in how she teaches and inconsistent with her style depending on which student is working with. I liked this place better earlier in the year.
Nice friendly place. Would really recommend it. I had Areej as my stylist this time and she dose really good work.
I enjoy coming here very cheap when my Aunt doesnt have the time to cut my hair I come here, had a very nice student today Eliza, very sweet beautiful and had a nice convo while she was cutting my hair
Kaitlyn Rose did an excellent job with my hot stone treatment as well as waxing my chin. Amazing how smooth my chin is now!
Had a touch-up done with Lisa Bailey today, color looks great, so rich. Would definitely go to her again! A+++
I love the environment here, I never feel out of place. The teachers are great and and easy to work with!!
I love the service!And the staff they are so nice, attentive and friendly!I love my hair!!!Thanks to Angelica Salvador you did an award job!!!
Alla did a fantastic job on my hair. I regularly get my hair washed and blown out at HP and I am never disappointed.
Im always looking stylish, fabulous, and amazing after a brilliant haircut and beard trim with Brianna Rose. Top notch.
Ms. Carly has made my experience at school exquisite! Since she has been here i have been more motivated to do what i need to do.

First time visit great facial & scalp treatment. Students very friendly.
Best beauty school decision I couldve made. I love spending my time learning here, and the environment is extremely comfortable
I went to the one in Palos Hills. Staff was very friendly and the instructors work very closely with the students to advise them.
God knows this is one of my favorite places. Good beauticians. Received my first Brazilian wax.😍😍😍
Absolutely love my teachers lisa, Brianna, and Carol are great!!!
Come from Rockford area, absolutely love the work these students and teachers do! Great job@
I am a student here and I love it. Had the best teachers and met a lot of good friends.
Currently getting hair done syalist is very sweet and helpful cant wait to see the outcome.
AJ and Karli are the best! Loved my haircut and color.
Is okay, I was overcharged triple times for a product that I could have simply used in my head for way less money for the official product online or elsewhwere.
I got an amazing facial by kaitlyn today! shes the best
I have learned so much here !! Teachers are very helpful and answer all of our questions when needed.

I am currently enrolled and highly recommend the esthetics program! Ms. Marcia is very welcoming and knowledgeable. Everybody gets along with each other and helps one another!
As a student of the esthetician program at this school, I am proud to been taught by Ms.Marcia. The fundamentals that she has given not only me but the rest of my class will remain strong when I enter the work force and continue my education.
The esthetician program is phenomenal! Amazing teacher and very friendly students, It is such a great environment.
I love this school! It is so warm and inviting, they always treat everyone equal and do a great job! The teachers are great and it is such a nice family-like atmosphere.

2019-06-22I went and got my summer highlights done here and Im so glad I decided to go to a salon this time instead of doing them myself. Being a school I was a little nervous but my stylist Sandra made me so comfortable seeing how confident and comfortable she was. She honestly did so much better than a stylist for 20+ Years did on my hair!!! I showed her a picture of what I wanted and SHE DID EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!! I will be going back to her when I want to go lighter!! Highly recommend this place!!!

2021-09-24I’ve been a client at HP in palos for a long time. Teacher Lindsey, and student Patrica are awesome. I always leave happy and my hair looks amazing. I would recommend it to anyone that wants professional quality hair color or new hair style, at a price that is very very reasonable.

2021-07-15Zuzanna is my go-to hair stylist! Every time I have gotten my hair done here, she has always given me exactly what I wanted. I get my hair dyed to nearly black, and she does such a beautiful job! I only went in for a scalp treatment and a cut today, and the entire time she was extremely friendly and made me feel very comfortable, as she always does! One thing I admire is that she is very confident when she does hair and she will always give you what you ask for, if not better. I highly recommend her as a stylist!!!
