Even god was not a peaceful spirit when mankind took it upon themselves to lie, cheat, steal, kill and etc.

It’s my turn to tell my side of the story.

I WORK HARD FOR WHAT I HAVE NO-ONE PAYS MY WAY PERIOD!!!!

This is woman is a thief!!

Please know that I had previously gone to school for cosmetology in 2012. I have heard such great things about Charles Academy. I know plenty of people who went there and graduated and are very successful. Well the previous owner passed away. This new owner took over two years ago when I came to enroll to get my refresher course done she did not provide me with all of my hours that I previously had, she told me that the price was $6700 for the refresher course come to find out in the last few months that I’ve been paying this full price for a refresher course when this price is actually for the cosmetology course after the lady was exposed on camera at the school we contacted State Board to check our hours due to other students that she did not allow to graduate on time because she wanted to keep them for her for free as long as possible. The first one was Cheyenne. She fought tooth and nail against her and her parents try not to allow her to graduate on time we found out that this lady the owner of Charles Academy culture had not been reporting our hours correctly to State Board at this point, I should have been finished with my course. Now we have another student who was supposed to graduate prior to Mother’s Day, but the owner made a statement to everyone that no one would be graduating before Mother’s Day because she wanted us all to work the Friday before, knowing that it was going to be slammed in the salon. Also, let’s not forget how she is adding a $2500 fee at the end of our graduation if we missed days and is refusing our transcripts and withdraw papers unless we pay fees to her for those things when I called State Board at the school I should have had more than 300 hours And only had 200 hours those absent fees for when my grandpa passed away and when my uncle passed away this year are being charged to me and I’m being refused withdraw papers unless I pay all of those fees I have paid $6700. She does not accept financial aid. This is cash pay only she does receive checks money orders and cash and that is what she received from me. She cashed a check from almost 2 years ago from a previous graduate. She also has a roster of students that none of us have ever seen or met in the school and they all have nail tech licenses Paid and all in her family. I have plenty of recordings where she tried to deny me my work license due to my absence for family loss so I downloaded the PDF and emailed it to her and she had nothing left to say to me other than providing me the paper for my license. DO NOT GO TO CHARLES ACADEMY!!!

We have all been “terminated” she stated I didn’t pay for 5 months but I have receipts!!!

I’m going to try to make this review short and sweet. Let me just say this I enrolled in the school in January hoping for a better and new future. I enrolled into the esthetics program and they had no license instructed to teach me. The student instructor they had was clueless on teaching me anything, going to school every day was a complete struggle. I watched YouTube videos to teach myself for my state board because the school did not teach me anything. I try my hardest to push through and keep a positive attitude, but instead the school decided to terminate me. They also hired a lady who is a complete bully. How are you 53 years old and and you get off bullying young women. HOW SAD!
