Learn MoreI have been coming to Charles Academy for over a year now. The place has really changed from what it was. It's 💯 % better than one year ago. There are new dryers, and more washing stations. The owner is very friendly. There are worse places. I really enjoyed when the students were here, but sometimes changes are good. I hope they are all doing great. Come by Charles Academy and get great service. They are open to do hair Monday-Thursday 930 am - 1230 pm. Fridays 830 am - 1230 pm.
