1 /5 Kate Sandoval: I would discourage everyone from attending this school.
The instructor doesnât have any lesson plans, projects, or grading. Which breaks the school contract created by instructor. I paid the down deposit of $6,500 to attend this school; my first month was January and the teacher wasnât there at all. My third month I was told by instructor âit doesnât matter what Iâm taught because I already paidâ. I wanted to ask for my money back and quit this school, but couldnât because the contract I signed. Total I paid $8,500 for this school to which I was provided a box that had expired makeup, books, small microdermabrasion wand, and eyelash extension supplies. I was told that this is the supplies I use for the state test, when that is not true because the state test requires towels, gloves, eye protection, and other supplies that is not included in the box. I was told by the instructor to read the book on my own time. Instructor will only demonstrate if a paying client is getting the service done. Instructor humiliates students infront of clients, and gossips about âstudents not working hard enoughâ, when students are not employees, they are there to learn through lesson plans, demonstration, and graded feedback; NOT solely hands on experience. Instructor will go on vacations leaving students to run the salon and work on clients without any instructor physically present. I had several clients through Facebook which I worked on by myself without any instructor present in the salon. When I had clients while instructor is physically present; the instructor would be busy working on their own clients, and not available for questions or ask for help. When I do ask questions the instructor has little patience with repeating information, and I would be told that âI was already toldâ. This is not a school. I would fill out my own state hours timesheet, putting the number of hours I attended in subject categories I wasnât taught. Instructor double dips waxing sticks which is cross contaminating the wax pot, and doesnât clean wax pot between customers. Instructor washes facial towels with pedicure towels and floor mop rags. Instructor does not follow disinfecting directions from manufacturer. Most of Instructors products are expired. Instructor constantly fights with boyfriends creating an unprofessional and hostile environment. Instructor allows unlicensed and unregistered students to work on clients at salon. I know this instructor is going to say this is my fault because âstudents get out of it what they willâ, but that is not true, this is not a true school, itâs more of an apprenticeship, and I shouldnât have to pay if itâs an apprenticeship. I paid to learn about AHA and BHA, to be encouraged in opening a business, and proper sanitation. Instead each student receives a different experience because there is no lesson plan, projects, or graded feedback that is followed. This is not a school.
Be aware! Iâm only writing this review because I wish it existed before I paid $8500 and 8 months. This was a horrible experience for me. The instructor is breaking several state laws, and I canât find this school in the bbb.
