Lycée Professionnel Magnan — Training Salon

All Nice bargain hunters know it: the Lycée Professionnel Magnan runs a mixed educational hairdressing salon, open a few times per term, accessible by reservation. This salon is run by students of the Vocational Baccalaureate in Hairdressing Trades, supervised by their teachers — experienced professionals who oversee each service with rigour.

The principle is simple and mutually beneficial: students train on real clients in real conditions, clients benefit from quality services at very reduced prices. The school is referenced on Planity for online booking — session dates are published in advance on the platform.

Services

The salon offers the standard Vocational Baccalaureate services: women's, men's and children's cuts, blow-dries, colouring, sets and perms. Service duration is longer than in an ordinary salon — students take the time to do well, under direct teacher supervision. Final result quality is generally very satisfying, with teachers intervening to correct and perfect.

Access Conditions

Available by reservation only, at dates communicated on Planity. Sessions are most often held in late afternoon. Opening is punctual — available dates must be monitored. Very reduced prices, payment on site.

Pricing

Very reduced prices — generally 50–70% less than a regular salon. Examples: short women's cut from €10. Blow-dry from €8.

Guest Reviews

Highlights: The exceptional value for money is cited in all reviews. Students are described as attentive, conscientious and well-supervised. Cut quality is often described as surprisingly good for such a low price. The welcome is warm. It is an educational and human experience that goes beyond a simple hair treatment.

Areas for improvement: Sessions are infrequent — only a few times per term. Service duration is longer (allow 1h30 to 2h). The waiting list can be long for popular dates.

Overall: The Lycée Magnan salon is Nice's best-kept beauty secret — a one-of-a-kind address combining professional training, financial accessibility and service quality.
