It has been a nightmare since I signed up to this school. As if the reviews aren’t the biggest red flag! They are all right ! I’ve been mistreated, discriminated against, verbally abused. As of April 13, I was gained up against and verbally attacked by 4 people at once! Two were supposed to instructors! The male instructor was the most aggressive! Yelling in my face with his finger and walking up on me even locked me in a room and pretty much forced me to stay in the room by blocking the door ! I have extreme anxiety and PTSD from abuse that the instructor is aware of and intentionally preys on! I’ve seen him verbally abuse other students but something has to be done ! He has to be stopped immediately. I have been bullied by. Girl since i started and that’s where it all begun! People are allowed to be mean, disrespectful, and rude with teachers assistance! There are students who fight faculty and bully students, teachers that verbally abuse the students and start drama, I overheard a teacher telling other students I wouldn’t make it because I get sick and need a snack . I gave my all this school and went broke they didn’t understand the sacrifices I made to get here every day! Students cheat on test, and are still allowed to be here every little thing that I did was scrutinized. They treat you any type of way because they know you won’t have any proof seeing as you get expelled for recording the abuse! This place use to be a jail! The teachers are verbally abusive! Hints the student fighting one of the teachers! That student was allowed to return to make others miserable ! A teacher who can’t even remember the names of the body parts but flirts with a married man everyday! Cruz is a nightmare and he hired his mistress so they can cheat in peace ! Kesha is a fake a phony and wants approval from students. She complains about her good duties playing mother Theresa at the hospital for a lady, working at a bar at night! Unprofessional! Off track! She taught me more about her life than she ever taught me about massage! No one passes the MbLex and everyone before me was cheating just to pass test ALSO STILL STUDENTS! The owner was a scammer and always has defective products. Come here if you like drama, want to be broke, miserable , and without everything but your dignity. I would rather. Be a stripper than ever be amongst people so fake and with such low vibrations. I’m loved and peace everywhere I go! This place disturbed my peace and robbed me blind! I’m sure it will be shut down soon from all the scamming! GOD LUCK NOT GOOD ! 😂😂 Update: Cruz the narcissist, is so comfortable in his control and abuse that he read my review in laughter in front of his entire classroom. He then laughed and said he’s suing me! Why do I know this ? Because this place is from HELL THE DEVIL HIMSELF! They are messy and care more about an appearance than actually doing their jobs! They will take your money and you probably won’t graduate no one does! Very high turnover rate they have made teachers quit from being bullied! These reviews can’t all be wrong !

I cannot recommend this school enough! I attend ISSNMT for the "Nail Technician Program" to become a licensed manicurist also known as a nail technician. The nail tech program has been an enlightening and inspirational experience. I feel well prepared for my entrance into the nail technology industry; from being prepared to take my board exams, speaking with and handling clients, salon maintenance and of course, having the services offered well mastered. This school has been a cornerstone step in my path to the next chapter of my life. I am grateful for my teachers (Ms. S and Ms.L) for their contributions, as well as Ms. Pam and all of the administrators for their constant supplemental support. In terms of services offered/received by the school at the in house Spa and Salon, I have brought my children and mother for services from the skincare and cosmetology departments which were both relaxing, fun and a learning experience for all of us. Oh, and so affordable! This school is an actual gem and an asset to the Sandy Springs community AND the beauty industry. If you are thinking about entering the beauty world, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and apply!

Do not go here!!! I attended and finished all off my classes for the nail program, but Pam the owner will not allow you in obtain your transcripts if you have a balance. I do plan on paying the balance, but because of my experience there, I don’t want to give them another dime. Mrs Lannie is a great teacher. But the owner of the school is money hungry and does not care about the students. I did not have the best experience. There are many other schools out here. Do your research! The bad reviews are true! And I think they prey on black women who are trying to obtain a trade license. Very UNETHICAL!!! 3/22/24-Oh and I edited the review. It’s a screen shot of the owner’s text to me after I reached out about my transcript almost a month ago. I have reached out numerous times since attending in 2020. She still hasn’t give me a response in regard to my transcripts. But sent me text because she saw my review. They butter the new students up and make them think everything is all good, so they post false reviews. Give it 6 months or so people and watch how they switch up, once you have balance. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BALANCE!!!!!!!!!
