I go to school here. I hate when my class of about 20 people are all bleaching or perming mannequin hair in the same room and the teacher DOES NOT turn the ventilation systems on or open the windows. Do you not realize this is a health hazard? WE ARE BREATHING CHEMICALS. Then they're going to be so pushy about letting students practice on our hair. I am not a mannequin. Making the whole school do a hair competition on each other, I do not want my hair touched, especially with heat! And if I don't go that day I have to make up hours. We have busy lives and jobs, but they make it so difficult to even make up hours. You missed Saturday? You're not allowed to make up hours the entire next week. Then, the teacher tells me how ro do something this way then the next day it's "wrong" and you're supposed to do it another way. And other students notice the teacher do this, contradicting herself. Or just saying wrong information sometimes. Like what the hell?

Profile

The Lancaster School of Cosmetology & Therapeutic Bodywork is an accredited school that was founded and incorporated in 1979. At this time it was located in downtown Lancaster in a single-story building. In 1984 the owners of the school purchased an old elementary school building that was built in 1900, and had been vacant for some 37 years. The two-story building has since undergone a major rehabilitation and modernization, and provides 10,000 square feet of space for classrooms and student laboratory. The school can accommodate more than 60 cars in its parking lot.

The Lancaster School of Cosmetology is located in Lancaster Township East, on the corner of Ranck Avenue and Clark Street.

In addition to being licensed by the State Board of Cosmetology, we are licensed by the State Board of Private Licensed Schools a division of the Pennsylvania Department of Education. We are accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences.
