      I am writing this to save others the trouble and the financial regret that comes with attending this school. It is an absolute embarrassment saying that I got my esthetics license from this establishment and I wish I had spent my hard earned money elsewhere.

      For one, the school is CONSTANTLY losing employees/educators. The educators they hire (if they decide to show up for their shifts) scream at students, cuss, share personal information, gossip, etc.

      They have students bring in clients for services as part of their education and these people come into a disgusting environment with spa beds that literally fall apart when you sit on them. Or the school will just make the students cancel on their clients because of poor planning on their part. There is no air conditioning or heat in half of the building and the back door is broken and will not close all the way which has resulted in actual safety threats when homeless men have entered the building unannounced, wondering the hallways. There are roaches and mice throughout the building, the bathrooms and spa rooms are filthy.

      To top this all off and cut things short; there is almost NO education at this school. You do not get training, you sit in your plastic seats at your plastic folding table covered in dirt and stains by yourself with nothing to do for 90% of your classes because you have to get your hours and the teachers don’t show up and don’t want to teach. They ALL hate their jobs and complain about them constantly. If you don’t show up every single day, this school will find a way to make you pay them THOUSANDS out of pocket after already paying your tuition to get your license. They wait until last minute, right before you graduate to tell you you owe them MORE MONEY.

      It makes me sick to see how horrible this “school” is ran. Lots of code violations. I would never let any of my friends or family go here
