I am not one to ever leave a review but please Save your money! Don’t let this place fool you, they have faculty members write 5 star reviews and try to get students to remove their bad ones. It makes me sad to think of how many girls come here excited for an esthetics program before realizing the reality of this place. This is the biggest scam of a school and waste of time. First of all they offer CERTAIN students scholarships and not to others discriminating. When I asked why half of my class received $1,000 off and i didn’t I was told by Alyssa “ we only offer that to kids on the fence about coming here” which is strange considering i was not on the fence and was never offered the discount. They charge you nearly $14,000 for the paramedical program and can’t even paint the walls or provide enough equipment for all students. The equipment that they have is beyond out of date and not what is used in the real world. The brushes in the esthetician room are like broom brushes probably YEARS and YEARS old being used on everyone’s face along with dirty towels – caused nearly every girl in my class to have breakouts they never experienced before. I could write a book on everything wrong with this school honestly. You would think for a beauty school they would keep it clean, but it is so run down. Considering how many students they cram into a classroom and how much they are overcharging you would think they at least would provide us with supplies and a clean environment. You pay nearly $14,000 but access the laser ONE time in your whole program of electrology. They make you clock in for hours on your phone, but never let you access your hours so you have no idea if you are on track. They will then tell you to email stefanie – who will not respond to you and have a nasty attitude if you ask nicely for your hours. This place is a joke, walking away after spending so much money and feeling like i need to go elsewhere to actually be educated and spend more money. You absolutely do not get what you pay for and every single student in my class would say the exact same thing. These photos don’t even begin to describe this place. It is mind blowing that this place has not been shut down by the health department – especially with the expired fire extinguisher falling on the floor during class.

DONT SIGN UP HERE. I WISH I NEVER DID.
admin will do anything to keep the hair salon running and flowing for their cosmo students. I’m sure it could be nice. The way the Ms. Leti raises her voice and yells at a poor little old lady and her husband for being 10 minutes late to their appointment and already gave her appointment away to someone else. SO SAD. That lady, Leti runs a tight SINKING ship.
At the skin portion of the school, we’re learning old school methods that we’ll never see when we leave this place and work at a professional med spa/derm office. LASER DAY comes once in a blue moon and you’re one of the lucky ones if you get a chance to use it. The make “time slots” for everyone to get a chance to use it for 30 mins.
Feel free to contact me about this SHADY BUSINESS. We’ve got a long detailed report to the Better Business Burerau. I encourage you all to look there at those reports as well >>>>> the photos include the break room for the 60+ students on property during the day, the neglected floors that need replacing so badly, the headbands for facial treatments, crusty brushes included in our kit, the sink we use to wash all of the stainless steel bowls with hand soap and the photo of the filters, that is the epitome of how they handle repairs or hygiene here at the school. Zoom in.

I truly hope they spend a significant amount of money from the 20 girls that started last week, to RENOVATE and INVEST in the tools and resources here. NOT TO MENTION: DO NOT USE THE SKINCARE KITS. PEVONIA MADE ALL OF US BREAKOUT including the TOWELS and how they’re washed with no detergent. See photo.

DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!! It is unsafe, unsanitary and they don’t teach you anything. They’re just trying to take as much money from people as they can. The health department has been close to shutting them down do to bathrooms not working, no a/c, rats, equipment is electrocuting patients, the a/c unit was creating a smell of carbon dioxide and we were forced to sit in the class room without the door open if we wanted to collect hours, walls are scuffed, lights don’t work, ceiling is leaking, etc. curriculum is not directed to help you pass the board at all, you are just given a run around as to what is might be on the board. They don’t keep track of the hours correctly, but are more than happy to charge you for ever hour you’ve missed whether you actually have missed the class or not. I work for a doctor that paid for this program and has called the school multiple times with no response. Such a waste of time, effort and money. PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL. If I could leave negative stars I would. This place should be shut down. It’s disgusting. The only reason they have good reviews is the require you right a 5 star review when signing up for classes. The whole establishment is an absolute scam.
