      Don't go to this school if you want to learn to be a cosmetologist. My daughters attended this school for over a year part-time, we were told that she would learn not only hair put nail & makeup in the full cosmetololy course which is over $20,000. Tuitiion is charged on a % so even if you only go 4 months you owe them $10,000. We were told they had class room time and floor time. They only held classes for the afternoon students in the first few weeks, after that they started having classes only in the morning and not telling the afternnoon students about them so they could attend. When she did have a class, other student were allowed to have converations while the teacher was talking so the other students could not hear what was being said. There is a revolving door of teachers some only lasting a few weeks with no consistancy in teaching. When there as a customer I observed students running in and out of the building in groups like a pack of 5th graders, no structure at all. When I emailed to complain to the manager (twice) I would get no response. According to the paperwork there was suppose to be a Saturday rotation, however the school does not enforce this nor do they advertise to the public that they are open to the public and Saturdays are by appointment only. I've went on a Saturday they was only 1 teach and about 5 students with no clients. My daughter who loves all things in the beauty industry was so discourge she took a break to evaluate her options which is allowed. After the 2nd time doing this she was asked by the business office is she would like to extend the break or would she be coming back, she decided to extend but then recieved a letter that she was kicked out but owed them over $8,000 + student loans. She never received the makeup or nail classes. The school has no structure & constant teacher turn-over just there to take you money and care nothing about the students learning experience.
