If you are a prospective cosmetology student, RUN. If you can handle borderline emotional abuse, lying, manipulation, constant chaos, and general lack of organization, you might be able to learn a thing or two - at least if an instructor likes you - otherwise, good luck. The only reason they're able to find any staff is because of personal connections and don't actually care if you have an instructor's license or not before they hire you to teach because they're desperately trying to maintain their public image. Don't let anything you see or hear from them fool you, they're constantly downsizing the kits, cutting out educational/team building activities, skimping out on valuable educational time due to their inability to keep staff and stretching the staff they do have way too thin, all while raising the tuition. It was agonizing; having prospective cosmetology students tour the school when we just had THREE instructors quit at the same time because of how badly mistreated they were and having no real contingency plan, knowing they were getting fed the same lies my class and so many others were. Please take your money and go somewhere else before you waste it on a poorly fabricated sham like this.
