              06/29/2022

              I went her for 10 months, I learned bare minimum. My education was overpriced and the kit I received was unusable, I had to buy my own brushes and bring my personal makeup to use. The school is only worried about money and not your education. My last 350 hours I learned absolutely nothing and had to come 10 hours to sit and do nothing. Occasionally I’d have a service but 9/10 times it was a 60 min massage that was overpriced and it wasn’t even a real massage I was just rubbing cold oil on someone with 0 pressure. I came here to learn about waxing and facials but most times the only service I got booked to preform on the spa floor was a massage. Don’t waste your time go to aveda and learn more for your money and get a way better kit. Aveda also offers the course for 200 less hours so you won’t be wasting your time doing absolutely nothing! The staff was very unprofessional, whenever a client would have a complaint the staff would make the client feel horrible, but they would teach us that we need to fix anything the client doesn’t like, but they didn’t follow what they taught us. Very dissatisfied and I feel like I just wasted 10 months that I won’t be able to get back.
