If you value your Time, Energy, and most importantly your education drive pass this school like a nascar driver I mean speed pass this “Establishment”. The school is disorganized majority of the instructors can care less about their job there were only 2 instructors who truly cared about us and our education, the lunch room had a foul smell the refrigerator was never cleaned my freshman faze instructor was bombarded with work that didn’t obtain to her due to the head senior instructor constantly disappearing on the senior students they always bum rushed our class for help which wasn’t their fault due to the unapproachable head instructor who walked around totting an outlandish malicious attitude to the point her students would purposely avoid her, due to the fact of not knowing if she was gonna be polite or down right nasty (per usual) and was very unwelcoming since my first day attending the school. I started school there in November and by December I felt like it was a total waste of Money, effort and most importantly my Time. My education wasn’t taken one bit of serious I was over crowded in a class with 19 people at once ( mind you this school only has one freshman classroom) it was so bad we had to move our mannequin stands to our theory class. My freshman instructor was often taking 1 hour lunches and 40 minute breaks (when breaks were only 15-20 minutes) and also doing her hair in class or sitting in the theory room on her phone (especially when the class was over crowded) so for a whole 5 weeks I quarterly learned every practical beside rollers and perm rod sets because that was common knowledge for a lot of us, it was so bad I would be on YouTube searching up a practical when I had 2 “instructors” in my class who should be hands on with me. Me and my classmates often leaned on each other and confided in one another during this time I felt like I was paying the school money for things my classmates and I were teaching myself, One of the 2 owners made it no better she made and excuses for every thing I brought to her attention she also accused me of having and attitude when she tried to cut me off mid answer for her questions she was honestly so narcissistic in that situation I was appalled I knew at that very moment I was done with this school there was nothing they can do for me or anyone else, they’re so money hungry it’s sad. There is so much talent in this school that isn’t being nourished, so many wonderful student and 2 amazing instructors who deserve more than a raise they were amazing and due to one of them they made me love shears even more and May God bless the rest of the students who is scared of change or may be truly stuck with this school being their only option. Moral to the story go where your dreams will be nurtured I cannot speak for the esthetics side or barber side but if you want to be a cosmetologist run from this school you will be met with excuses for their excuses. 😂

Came here several time since I discovered this place. First of all I like Ms. Mari, her kindness, the way she does blow dry, she empathize with the students and takes her time to stop by and starts a conversation with me. She loves teaching, that's for sure!! Always demonstrating to students how she does it. I also want to thank Ms. Shawn (I hope spelling it right), she also knows what to do and I like when she smiles. She helps students in the process, and she comes to stations regularly to check if everything is going well. Finally, I want to say something about the lady at front desk. Has been 3 times saying: "it's full", "there are no students", "they don't take clients today"...plus how she says it. When she's not there, they allowed me to get my service done. The last time she saw me at the entrance walking to the front desk, she didn't say anything. After 5mins of waiting (I was the only one over there) she came. She asked nothing like how may help you? so I come and asked to color my hair...Finally she said it ! I mean. Why she didn't say it when she saw me walking to the front desk? Hopefully the academy hire another lady.! Sometimes there is a long blonde hair girl. I guess she's a teacher. She is polite. Don't know her name but she's always there. Please change that!! I still wanna come. Thank you!
