During my time there, I stepped out of my shell, learned the proper ways of sanitizing, gained confidence within myself, and was fully prepared for my state board test and the next chapter of my journey within esthetics. The Patroness Ms. Maria, with her vibrant purple hue each and every day, brought passion, encouragement, and light into the school. One of the most beautiful things to witness was seeing her light up whenever her students made their dreams become reality through something she built for us to learn within. I will always be grateful for the foundation, knowledge, and encouragement Beyond 21st Century Beauty gave me as I continue growing within this industry, and I know if I ever need advice or guidance along the way, they would be there to assist and support me.

    My experience with Facing Beauty Studios was alright. I had my makeup done for my engagement photos…read moreand my wedding. For the engagement photos, I felt like Karla was really engaged and made an effort to make me happy. I don't know if my wedding day was a bad day for her, but it felt a little rushed and off. My makeup was great for the wedding. It lasted all night, and it looked really subtle and natural. My only complaint would be the lip products she used. It was glossy and looked patchy when applied. I had to wipe it off and use my own lipstick. Also, my hairstyle didn't even last an hour after being done. I had to have my bridesmaids completely curl my hair again, which was stressful because it was time consuming. For the price charged, I felt like the hairstyle should've lasted longer than it did. I felt that whenever I showed Karla my hair inspirations on Pinterest, she more often than not told me how it wouldn't work on me, rather than try to help me achieve the hairstyle I wanted. It was a bit demotivating. Overall, I did like my makeup, but I had to make tweaks to really be happy. My hair had to be completely redone. I'm not sure I would be able to recommend this studio to others.

    Karla was amazing! I found her on Yelp and went to her based on her 5STARS!. She didn't disappoint…read more I dont wear a lot of makeup daily so was a little skeptical about going to a professional because I've had some not so great experiences in the past ( makeup too overdone) but wanted to get my makeup done for my sisters wedding. Karla made me look and feel beautiful! My makeup was not over done.. not too much.. just perfect for me. She asks your thoughts about the application as she's doing it but also gives her professional insight. Will definitely be reaching out to Karla for future beautification. Thank you Karla!

    I chose JLC Beauty school after comparing multiple programs and looking at their high exam pass…read morerates online. Their pricing was more competitive than other schools offering a manicurist license, which made the decision even more practical without compromising quality. Ms. Carrie was a standout instructor her ability to break down the material and streamline the learning process made preparing for the state board feel structured, clear, and highly achievable! That level of guidance is invaluable. She is a great teacher! Mr.Lai is always kind, professional, and encouraging. He is always very considerate, and cares for every student! The environment itself is welcoming yet professional, creating a space that encourages growth while maintaining high standards. One of the standout aspects of this program is their flexibility. They were able to accommodate my schedule, making it possible to stay consistent despite having a busy lifestyle. They also brought in the creator of Sofgel to give a live demo, along with offering discounted products, which added a lot of value and real industry insight to the program. I left the program not only licensed, but confident in my skills and foundation. I would strongly recommend this school. Although it's a Chinese-based school, the program is fully accessible in English -200- hour online portion. Don't let that discourage you it's *very* manageable and accommodating for English-speaking students!

    It is about time I write a review for this place! I have come here 4 times to get gel manicures and…read moreevery time I come, it is always great! It is only $15 for a gel manicure and the students always take their time doing my nails. I have never been disappointed. Scheduling an appointment is also extremely easy, just give them a call. I cannot say anything about other services and courses, just simply from a customer getting her nails done. I recommend this place to everyone!

    Ladies and Gentlemen looking into this academy for a MUA certificate, please think twice. Trust me…read morewhen I say you are better off paying more for a real accredited well known school than wasting your time here, thinking you're saving money. A little bit of my experience, that I've found to be common amongst fellow classmates and reviewers here on yelp, was that of an unsatisfied one. First off I will confirm the unprofessionalism from the owner directly, who is unfortunately one of the "teachers" that I had the so called "pleasure" of learning from. She talks against high end makeup (such as MAC) in a sad effort to sell her nameless brand to her students. She has verbally insulted many makeup gurus from YouTube or private label cosmetics like Ladybird and others. Saying that learning from YouTube teaches you nothing and that putting yourself on YouTube is a "pathetic" attempt at being successful and opens a MUA to criticism and is highly frowned upon on in the beauty industry. Which all in all is can be some truth, but discouraging your students from taking steps out there sounds like someone who is afraid of competition. She will also disclose to many conversations about her private married life or personal intimate matters in her life that wastes valuable class time of learning. When asking questions about the contract I signed and the 475 dollars I put down initially, she changed her policies about the makeup kit and refused to provide me a copy of the contract because prior to her changes is when I signed the contract and she would be legally obligated to follow through with the previous one. After an exchange of emails between eachother, she would put "!!!!!" after everything she said or ALL CAPS as if she was yelling in her emails to get her point across and cussing as well. I was very shocked and offended that this adult woman business owner is a mere child with a cosmetology license claiming to want to "teach". I of course was very upset at her attitude in this conversation of emails, but considering there was no refund policy and SHE was going to be my teacher I asked her if it was still possible to uphold professionalism between eachother so I can finish the course comfortably. She replied "sure." Ha! Very pro. As the course began and a few classes in, I noticed her teaching skills were at a low. She wouldn't explain things in a polite manner or help students learn from her. She would tell you what to do, and expect you to do it. And act frustrated after and THEN show you how to do it. I seen her do this to students all the time. The level of confusion was outstanding. We were never provided paper materials but told where to buy color wheels and etc. Nothing was provided. It was listed in contract we would be learning hairstyling techniques and blow drying. And face charts. And putting a professional portfolio together. Marketing tips. NEVER happened. There is no structured learning here. But fragmented tips suggested by a lady that has nothing to show for her success except a school and a one time deal where she did the makeup for photographer who was featured in Italian vogue lol. She would also disclose private information about students who had trouble with her and how it effected her so deeply and that she was very upset and put other students down from her other classes about their makeup work and personal issues with her. Very unprofessional. She was out for sympathy and to be told shes right. But she definitely was not, and it was not okay to be discussing that information with other classes. Finally towards the end of the classes, she hired a lady (who no longer works for her) who we learned more from in the last 3 Saturdays then the whole class combined. Cristina (the owner) was very jealous of the fact we loved her. She would make rude unprofessional remarks that she was quitting teaching because we (the class) don't like her. And that she's going to let the new girl take over. Which was fine with me, but to throw a pity party tantrum for herself was so uncalled for. It made the whole class uncomfortable. After receiving my certificate, I was very disappointed in the lack of MUA education I received. I thought I was all alone in the way I felt about her, but after discussing my feelings about it to other attendees of the school, turns out I am not alone. (part 1)

    I'm currently attending school at Pro Studio Makeup Academy in La Habra, Ca…read more I'm impressed on how much I've learned and so excited on this new path I have taken. I have noticed a huge difference on my personal makeup and constantly get compliments by my friends, family and coworkers. Pro Studio Makeup Academy's payment plan and weekend classes have helped me and others to follow our dreams. Instructors are aware that learning is not a one-size-fits-all process, they successfully incorporate all types of teaching either visual, textual, hands on etc. I rate this school a 4 only because I have not graduated, once I do I know I'll give them another star..total 5

My teacher was Ms. Asmi who is at the beautiful campus in Fullerton. I liked the fact that Ms. Asmi is fair with the students and is consistant in the rules of what she expects of each student so that everyone feels equal. Not only does she give individual attention to students but she also encourages a team effort. In my experience with Ms. Asmi everyone got along great! We had fun learning and we worked hard so that we were prepared to pass the State Board Test as well as service clients who came to the school in a professional manner. She goes through the book chapter by chapter and points out everything that could be asked on the State Board test so you can highlight it. (I knew all the answers for the written test at state board, except for 3!) Ms. Asmi is easy to follow when training the students on the different procedures and you feel confident and ready to be a qualified estitician when you graduate. I have had many facials from fancy spa's that cost $120.00 and I cannot tell the difference between their facial and the ones Ms. Asmi teaches! At the salon they use quality facial products from Dermalogica and Murrad which I recieved a certificate for knowing all the different facial techniques. To pass the Practical Test for State Board Ms. Asmi has posted up on YouTube 10 short videos demonstrating the different procedures that you will need to perform and how to do it. All I did was study these video's, take notes and I passed! You can find the videos on YouTube my searching for Ms Asmi, James Albert School. For the State Board Practical Test you will need to rent a kit. I rented mine from Farah's Smart Rental Kit in Irvine, CA. The kit was so well organized and I know that this played a big part in my passing the Practical Test. I did look at the other Kit Companies and it was so confusing. She was the same price as the other Kit Companies and gave me a free white jacket. 949.231.2628 - Ms. Asmi has her phone number! There are different fun contests that Ms. Asmi does using the different techniques we learn such as Makeup Contests. We had several guest speakers that came to the school on different subjects that was interesting. We also participated in the Anaheim Parade hat Ms. Asmi organized where James Albert (Yea! There is a REAL James Albert!) recieved an award from the President of the United States for his contribution to charity. The award is up at the Costa Mesa, CA Salon! James Albert himself actually does travel to the different schools to train the Cosmetology Students and I was able to sit in on a talk that he was giving to the students about attitude, goals and how to create a business. He is VERY charismatic, a wonderful artist and a savy business owner! Students are lucky to have him as a teacher. Many of his client are well known in the community as well as many celebrities hair and you can get your hair done at his Salon in Newport Beach. He also has his own line of James Albert product that are wonderful. Theres a reason why the school is called; "James Albert!" Nothing is perfect and if you are in a situation that you are unhappy about, I suggest you write a letter addressed to James Albert and mail it certified mail to the corportation in Corona, CA stating what is happening. James Albert has regular meetings with the teachers and is very swift in solving any issues and is very fair to everyone. When a esthetician student graduates from school, Ms. Asmi will let us throw a graduation party. At my graduation I had a "Princess Party" with paper tiara's, food, cake, boa, music, party games with prizes! She will let you invite your friends if you like and we had a blast! Check out this school in Fullerton and say "Hi" to Ms. Asmi and James Albert for me! : - )

The textbook was sold to me was published in 2022 and the online textbook was published in 2024. I scratch notes and make highlights physically into my book to help me study information l, hence why I purchased the textbook. When attempting to fill in information that was missing, it became ok much to do in each chapter. I informed my professor that I am getting chapter questions incorrect due to questions being asked that were not in my physical textbook. My professor's response was "...printed textbooks are published every 3 to 4 years. By the time it gets to print what was written is 9 months old before the actual publish date... Unfortunately, we cannot stop the world from changing." Is this something where I say "you're right Professor. What was I thinking?" Why do I spend money on outdated material? It appears that the material is sold at the Fullerton College bookstore because the professor approved it. I ask again, why do I have an outdated textbook that was sold to me by the school?
