Shear Excellence Hair Academy & Salon Tampa

Absolutely sick n tired of the "documented" rude, argumentative and childish behavior Im subjected to every visit from the staff.

Students and instructors were extreamly nice and professional! Very clean environment! Trae was my stylist and he did a very good job! Highly recommended and I will definitely be back for more services!

This is a training salon for beauticians and barbers.

They do perms and hair coloring too - if by hair ever grows out longer, I'm gonna get one of those layered color styles.

I went there for my recent haircut and pedicure, but the pedicure people weren't available so I'm gonna go back (They did share when the pedicure students were available). The students were really thoughtful and asking what style I wanted and they were engaging enough that I thought they were professional - I don't believe the salon coaches that, but the students bring it in themselves. It's heavy Spanish language, brush up and be prepared.

I got an enjoyable wash and hair treatment and a quality haircut too for 10 bucks! Being that they are students come up a professional teacher checks out the process and gives guidance. The students showed a high level of respect for the teachers, I like that.

High quality place and I recommend it.

It's across from the Marshals in the plaza that on waters and del maybury.

Great shout out to the barbers who took their time and talent to the stadium to help the kids and get them ready for school.

It's a great place to get my haircut the barber who cuts my hair is an awesome hair cuter

Highly recommend the salon, students are amazing and instructors Leslie, Helen and coby are super professional and helpful

Look up the OIG complaint form on FL DOE website to file a complaint against this school’s FRAUDULENT activity!

UPDATE: using Alias to prevent retaliation because this staff, especially the director, RETALIATES! RUN from these CROOKS!

I haven’t been able to find a hair salon that can care for my ethnic hair since moving to Odessa from SC. But this place was a huge save! They did a fabulous job and I’ll definitely be back.

This place is a giant scam, and there are channels to be able to cancel this loan if you have one with this school. The director of the school signs papers for students without their knowledge and has a notorious reputation throughout Tampa bay with the other schools (from how many students transfer or have issues. Save yourselves the headache.

They were able to wash and straighten my natural 4c hair really well! I mean my hair is really thick and kinky lol! Student Arlene, Instructor Hellen and another instructor did my hair wonderfully! It was washed, blown out, and then flat ironed. I never had my hair straightened and still come out so thick! I love it and hope it lasts long.

I'll NEEEVER GO BACK!
I was charged $50 for a wash, blow dry and flat iron which really wasn't a fit iron. I got my ponytail bumped on the end. I kept asking the price and asking the price and was never told one. I understand my hair is a little past my shoulders but being charged $ 50 was and overcharge. I called and had to leave a bad message in order to get a call back. The 1st lady that called was ok but the next lady that called me back several days after was nasty. She kept getting slick while I was telling her my issue so then she go well maam what do you want me to do. Ill give you $5 back. Then she accused me of getting loud with her she asked why am I getting loud? At this point I'm upset because you're excuses for charging me $50 wasn't valid. I asked was she the director that asked to call me back both times I left messages and she said no she wasnt. Never gave her name. The lady was very unprofessional. I'll never go back to this place ever!

The students rarely come in for cosmetology. I waited for 1 hour and watched 1 student and 2 instructors and the front desk on 1 child's head. The students rarely speak English so it's hard to communicate with them.

I am a former student of this school.the instructors love teaching new generation how to cut hair.

I have been living in Tampa for 6years and have been using them faithfully for 5 of those years. The owner is very polite, hands on and professional. Students and staff as well as instructors have always been kind. I try to be patient (as we all should be) remember this is a SCHOOL so some days services may take longer than some but rest assured you will leave satisfied.a good place especially of you're on a budget like me as well.keep up the good work guys.
