| Would Recommend? | no | The instructors who I know and loved are no longer there. I am honestly not even sure if the school is still in operation. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | I don't hear too much about them now. Shortly after I graduated all of the instructors I had moved to another school. |
| Program Quality | 5 | Most of what I learned came from after I graduated. When I got to my first job there were tons of things I was afraid to do that I hadn't been prepared for at school. |
| Instruction | 10 | My instructors were great, but I didn't learn all that I could have because of the customers. They were very specific on who they would allow to do their hair. |
| How Difficult | 3 | It was pretty easy considering that I walked out with only what I knew already. When I started I had already studied an old cosmetology book, to see what I was getting into. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | After the first few weeks most of our studies were on actual customers. There's very little book work after you're familiar with the basics. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | It was pretty flexible. I was able to choose night or evening classes. In extreme situations I was able to split the day. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | We didn't have much in terms of facilities. Any extra help, or study groups had to be formed on our own. |
| Social Life | 10 | I met a lot of really nice people, some of whom I am still in touch with. |
| Placement Services | 1 | It is up to you to find a job, there's very little assistance provided. |
| Alumni Network | 1 | I don't think this is something that exists with this type of school. We don't have any functions once we receive our licensing. |
