| Would Recommend? | yes | I have been in my own salon for a while now, and when asked I always recommend this school to people. It offered great teaching and an affordable program. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | From what I hear, most graduates in the area are very happy with it. I know my clients are happy! |
| Program Quality | 7 | For the most part the school was great. I do wish we would have gone a little deeper into some of the more outrageous trends. |
| Instruction | 10 | Great hands-on attention. I have kept in touch with my instructors since finishing. They are always available to help and answer questions. |
| How Difficult | 6 | I thought it was pretty easy. I wish a couple of things would have been added to provide a bit more challenge. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | It was the hands-on aspect that I loved most about the teaching in this program. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | I had a fairly open schedule while taking classes, so for me it was easy to get in and out. But they did seem to offer some great options in scheduling. |
| Academic Facilities | 9 | Everything is kept and maintained very nicely. Lots of great resources and materials were available to students. |
| Social Life | 8 | My social experience at the school was pretty great. Given that it was a school for cosmetology there wasn't much in terms of football games or pep rallies, though there were some good mixers. |
| Placement Services | 5 | Really not sure as I opened my own salon right off the bat. I had a few friends who were given assistance and help finding jobs. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I keep in touch with the instructors myself. There's not a lot of outreach from the school itself. |

| Would Recommend? | yes | I think future hairdressers need a laid back environment. The education is great at my school. Art and technique cannot be pushed and has to be developed. That's why I said it needs to be laid back. |
| Program Reputation | 7 | As far as I know they have a good reputation. I believe I was reading that 87% of the students are still working as cosmetologist. |
| Program Quality | 10 | My school was very laid back, but still got the job done. I still remember technical things from school. So I guess they did their job correctly. |
| Instruction | 10 | My school gave the basics to get started. I got great practical work in, just like at the salon. The school was very relevant to my working in the industry. |
| How Difficult | 5 | I would say average because of the technical study, like technical names for diseases we had to learn. But the rest of the course is trial and error - learning thru experience. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | The biggest part of the education is hands on learning. Trial and error is the only way to learn to do hair, in my opinion. | |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | I had the support of several teachers. If one was not available, another was just around the corner to help. They had everything there a cosmetologist student could need. |
| Social Life | 10 | We were all like a family. We would have special dress up days to make it fun. |
| Placement Services | 1 | I don't remember my school helping with job placement. I did all the job searching on my own. |
| Alumni Network | 1 | I noticed that our school finally got a facebook page and finally has a website. I have had no contact with the school since graduating. They don't have an alumni network. |
