Your determination is what gets you far. When I came to American Beauty School, I came focused. I didn’t let distractions lead me, and I didn’t give up on myself—no matter what. Whether the teachers were teachable or not, I already knew I was going to graduate on time and get my license right after. I made that promise to myself, and I kept it. I focused. I stayed consistent. I graduated. And about six weeks later, I officially became a licensed professional cosmetologist. As far as the staff and instructors—I want to give a genuine thank you. In all honesty, everyone was really kind to me, and I’m grateful for that. Like any school, there are things that could be improved. No place is perfect—every school has its ups and downs. But overall, I had a good experience. I want to give a special thank you to Ms. Tina. Thank you for your patience and your kindness. You were precise, knowledgeable, and clear—especially in the online learning portion. I truly learned a lot from your teaching. I appreciate you. Another shoutout goes to Ms. Q. Thank you for your laughter, your lessons, and your support. Thank you for believing in me and for the encouragement you gave throughout the journey. Your energy made the experience better, and I’m truly thankful. Lastly, I want to thank Ms. Azzaris, who was also very kind and helpful to me. I leave this review with gratitude for the entire experience. We all grow, we all learn, and I hope the school continues to improve for future students. But as for me—I did it, and I’m proud. Thank you, American Beauty School.

I arrived to The American Beauty School before 10am. Once I walked in, I immediately went to the front counter where a lady with informed me that I had to sit out down and wait. I sat down and waited along with three other customers. The lady at the front desk continuously informed me that there’s one person ahead of me. My mother arrived at the American Beauty School which the lady informed my mother that there was only one person ahead of me, my mother said no problem. After waiting over two and half hours, the lady at the front desk informed us that I couldn’t get my hair done and that she tried her best. I then stated that I had waited for two and half hours and my time was wasted. The lady at the counter then claimed that she told me to wait and see which never happened. She then proved to stay go to a hair salon or come back on Monday. I stated that wouldn’t work because I have work on Monday. The lady at the front counter was extremely rude and did not once apologize for the inconvenience. I will no longer be a customer of this beauty school location and will inform my colleagues, family, and friends to beware of this location due to the horrible customer service I received on Saturday October 4,2025: The fact that I was told to wait in which I did and was turned away after waiting two and half hours is horrible reflection of this location.
