exceptional service

by PKL

I went in for a haircut I thought I had scheduled yesterday, but it turns out I didn't have an appointment. The staff at the Salon Professional Academy were kind enough to get me in a chair with a hair stylist in less than 5 minutes! And it was one of the best haircuts of my life. They are consistently friendly and professional.

Awesome service!!!

by ngs

I am new to Nashville and needed a haircut and color. After reading the reviews of TSPA on here, and needing to save money I made an appt. My student, Kierra, was awsome. She listened to what I was asking and did a great job, I love my highlighs and my hair style. I have thick hair and she was able to work with it.

• Pros: good service for good price
• Cons: none

Excellent Service

by BPBflies

I have been coming to TSPA for over a year, and have received a number of hair services by various students. Overall, the quality of work is outstanding, with the instructors nearby to assist whenever required. Yesterday, I was fortunate to have my hair cut by Shawn. I don't think I've ever had better treatment. The haircut was exactly like the photo I'd brought along. But, for me, the highlight was THEE head and neck massage I received during the shampoo and conditioning! Wasn't sure if I could even get up and walk to the chair, once he finished the conditioning!!

Shawn was very professional, witty, and entertaining while cutting my hair. I have booked a color and highlighting appointment for next week with him, and am confident that he'll be every bit the Redken professional that I experienced yesterday.

• Pros: Professional treatment from start to finish
• Cons: None really....Just plan on each service taking longer.

Great services, better prices

by DJW

WOW! I could not be any more surprised than I was after a day of beauty at this school. I went in for a cut, color, mani-pedi and brow wax. I got the "works" in 3 hours time and the price was right. $68.00 Less than a 1/3 of what I paid the last time I was in a salon.

The students were great, the instructors were helpful, and the front desk was friendly. I pre-booked my next appointment and was entered in a contest!!!!!

• Pros: Professional Students, friendly, priced right
• Cons: takes a little longer because it's a school

high price and average quality

by BestoSearcher

Both my mother and I went there. My mother got a mani and pedi for $30 and they didn't cut cuticles or anything professional. They pretty much just painted her nails. I went there for color and cut. I spent $101 and got the same results I've been doing at home. I was very unsatisfied.

• Pros: Nice building (on the inside)
• Cons: Too expensive for students cutting hair.

haircut worth double or triple

by suzannew1

I am new to Nashville and needed a hair salon. After reading the reviews of TSPA on here, and needing to save money I made an appt. My student, Mary, was fabulous. Everything needs to be checked out by a teacher before the student does anything, so no one should worry about what they are going to get. She explains everything that she is doing, and seemed excited to show me how to style my hair how I was describing. I am going to take her "lessons" and attempt to recreate the style at home. I was amazed when the price for partial highlights, a cut, style, and service was one $42 total. She is graduating soon, but I feel comfortable going there to get my hair done again.

• Pros: cost, staff,
• Cons: none

Not recommended for Mani-Pedi

by JenRo

In order to save a little cash, I decided to try SPA for a Mani-Pedi instead of my usual salon. TWO AND A HALF HOURS later, I left with bubbles already forming in the nail color. Although OPI products were used, the top coat & base coat were old & sticky/string-y. The color had already chipped the following day, but I couldn't go back for a correction because I was going out of town. In the end, not worth the $8 savings.

• Pros: Friendly technician
• Cons: SLOW, poor products, not as inexpensive as expected

Great haircut

by matwinkletoes

I went to TSPA last night for a haircut. Jada was my stylist and did a wonderful job. I requested a rather difficult cut and she did an excellent job. I highly recommend going here. They offer a wide variety of services at great prices. All of the stylists are supervised by the instructor who was walking around to answer questions, etc. I have to say it was one of the best cuts I have had in a long time and only $10. I have already booked my next appointment with Jada.

• Pros: Great prices and great services

Best Salon Experience, Ever!

by abovebeyond

I went in for a color and cut last night, and was beyond satisfied. I described what I wanted, and my student stylist delivered exactly what I wanted. It may take a little longer because they are students, but the service is excellent! I was told step-by-step what she was doing, what products she was using, and why she was using it. She even helped me pick out a new haircolor that looks amazing on me. I can't be happier with my experience at TSPA and will ben returning soon!

• Pros: great prices, excellent service, knowledgeable staff
• Cons: takes longer than regular salon, limited hours

The best hair school ever

by jmelm

If you want to attend the best hair school ever you should definitly check out the TSPA school of Nashville! It opened in September of 2007. They offer job placement and tons of Redken artists come to the school for educational classes from all over the US. The instructors are phenominal and so is the education. TSPA is a Redken endorsed school as well which was voted in Readers Choice the number one hair color in the country! So give them a call and set up a tour to check this new school out!

• Pros: The costs and quality
• Cons: It may take a little longer b/c they are students
