Life-Changing Experience
I can't say enough great things about Studio 75 Hair Academy. From day one, this place exceeded every expectation I had. The instructors are not only incredibly knowledgeable, but they genuinely care about each student's growth--both professionally and personally. You're not just another student here; they take the time to pour into you, correct you, and build your confidence until you truly feel ready for the industry.
The environment is positive, motivating, and full of energy. You can feel that everyone wants to see each other win, and that kind of culture is rare. The hands-on training is top-tier, and they make sure you're not just learning techniques, but actually mastering them. By the time you step out, you don't just feel prepared--you feel like a professional.
What really stands out is how they go beyond just teaching hair. They teach discipline, consistency, customer service, and how to carry yourself like a boss in the beauty industry. That's something you can't put a price on.
If you're thinking about attending cosmetology school, stop looking--this is the place. Studio 75 Hair Academy doesn't just teach you skills, they help you unlock your full potential. I'm beyond grateful for the experience and everything I gained here.
Highly recommend to anyone serious about their future in beauty!-Jordan B
Highly Recommended
I recently visited this hair school because I was looking for a quick pamper day but on a budget. This place is a hidden gem! All of the students were very welcoming and seemed excited to do my services. I originally came in for a deep conditioning and wash and go but once I looked at ALL their services I also booked a facial!
My wash n go came out beautifully! And I really like the products they used! The instructor was attentive but didn't really have to do anything because the student was very comfortable.
My facial experience was just as good! It was a standard facial so non of the bells and whistles but it's honestly was great for just $25!
All together I was able to get both my services for under $65 (and that's because I tipped)
I'll definitely be back soon!- Lauren M
Transforming Careers
I can’t say enough good things about Studio 75 Hair Academy. From the moment I walked in, the energy and atmosphere felt like nothing I’ve experienced at other salons — genuinely warm and welcoming, like walking into a friend’s home rather than a business.
The instructors were fantastic — attentive, skilled, and clearly passionate about what they do. I came in for a haircut, manicure, and pedicure, and every single step of the process was relaxing. I didn’t just leave looking good, I left feeling completely at peace.
If you’re looking for a place in Millington that treats you like family and delivers quality service, Studio 75 is it. Can’t wait to go back!
