Testimonials

I’ve attended two Sunday School classes at Smith & Davis and I’ll definitely be back for more. Michael, Stevie, and their crew of educators manage to blend fundamental and creative techniques in a way that is fresh, honest, and interesting. I highly recommend checking them out!

I never miss an opportunity to learn from the excellent team at Smith & Davis. They are all gifted educators as well as artists. I always leave this environment with a sense of excitement; not only to channel the inspiration into my own work, but for the craft hairdressing community as a whole. To me, this doesn't feel like a class, it feels like a home of sorts – like I'm a part of something a little more.

Always inspirational.. their team of craft hairdressers immerse me in an afternoon of creative and visual synapse snapping moments!! I bring that energy back to my salon fully charged and motivated to create beauty on my clients. I love Stevie and Michael and their team.
