Don't waste your time going to school here!!! I did and haven't landed the awesome salon position that they told me was possible to get with my education. The school is nice looking, they work you hard. You pass the state boards, however the day after you clock out for the last time, It's like you don't matter to them and they DO NOT assist you with finding employment. They say they do... And don't. I worked hard, studied hard, was an active student, got good scores on my tests, finished on time, went to classes regularly, did everything right while I was there AND still haven't found work. It's like they groom you to work for Dosha only and don't prepare you for any other type salon setting or leasing. Apparently all the students there are are dollar signs to the people who run the school and they just keep on churning us out in quantity... Not quality. Don't waste your time going to school here.... For a school that says they are the Harvard of Beauty Schools... They aren't. If I could get a refund on my education and go elsewhere, I would!
