    I've been apart of the ATR Barbering academy for about a year now and have enjoyed it as a school and community so far. I appreciate how this school is understanding about things that may come up and are willing to adjust our schedules as needed so we can still meet our education requirements and keep our licenses up. They are supportive and encouraging. Really enjoying the teachers and students I meet in class. It's a great program they have here.

    I meant to add a review since last month but since yelp has added the ability to review while…read moremobile, I will leverage it and hopefully help someone avoid a disappointing, unprofessional experience like I did!! I purchased a living social deal for a corrective beauty class. I drove excitedly to the class expecting to learn some tips and tricks. I had read the review by Casey below and still figured that I would give them a try. Alas, I should have heeded his words because I had the same fate. NO ONE WAS THERE FOR MY CLASS! Can you imagine? I knocked, called, hooted, and hollered but that didn't help. It was just me, my makeup brushes, and my shadow in the blazing sun... I wrote them to complain about what had happened and I got a response that the instructor was there and waited for 30 mins before leaving. Seriously?!! BLEEPING UNBELIEVABLE! I was even more disappointed at the way they handled it. Luckily for me, I contacted living social and got my $ back but NEVER NEVER again. Please heed my words people...don't end up like me. Thanks to my good genes, at least I can still walk around freely with my natural looks even though I didn't learn any tricks from the corrective beauty class! ;)

    There would be a review here for EFX Artisty, but unfortunately there was no opportunity to have…read moreany experience with them. My girlfriend and I signed up for the Corrective Beauty Make up Class, then made an appointment the way we were instructed to. We got to the location fifteen minutes before our scheduled appointment, waited until thirty minutes after the class should have started, and then left as no one from the studio showed up. What we had been looking forward to for weeks turned out to be the two of us waiting outside a locked door. This was very unprofessional of them and we do not intend on trying to take any classes with this studio in the future.

    I had my roots retouched and they did a great job at matching my color to the regrowth. I then came…read moreback to get hair trimmed and was pleased that they didn't cut too much off. The work both students did was with great care and attention to precision. i think the gal who cut my hair was Yolanda. They should've said they were between Benson and Mountain Avenue on Holt Blvd in Ontario. Spanish speakers should discipline themselves to avoid speaking "Spanglish" even though the demographic here is mostly Hispanic, but not all Hispanics speak Spanish and some don't know English. There is a slight safety issue: floor dips down unexpectedly and can cause a trip and fall. A good remedy would be to use black/yellow tape and have students say, "Watch your step." The student who offered me water while I waited showed initiative and hospitality. I was originally ignored for a long time when I first walked in, including the instructor and almost walked out. I understand they were in a meeting but needed to appoint someone to watch the door or for the instructor to say, "One of us will be able to assist you in a few moments (or offer a time to return). She was the only one facing the door, so the group may have not known I was there. But the instructor did apologize after the meeting concluded, so I forgave them about that and a gentlemanly student DID offer me water & student named Ibrahim, who quickly greeted me when he came in.That also helped me consider staying.1st impressions are very important. the instructor since very focused on their presentation (smock being zipped or buttoned) & technique. Please work on showing professionalism and courtesy because even if looking professional, acting professionally is just as important. I still recommended this place to others but hope they work on these weaknesses to grow their business.

    I recently completed the phlebotomy program at CA Trade Academy in Ontario. While the enrollment…read moreprocess was quick and the hands-on training with my instructor Oscar was a strong part of the experience, the program was ultimately undermined by inconsistent communication and lack of administrative support. Oscar was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to student success. Being in a one-on-one setting allowed for focused instruction, and he even continued to assist me after he left the school--something I truly appreciated. However, after the classroom portion ended, the experience became difficult. I completed my classes in mid-January and was told I was ready to begin my externship, but didn't receive placement or meaningful communication until mid-March. I had to follow up repeatedly just to get updates. The clinic I was placed at was also in Los Angeles, which was not convenient given the school's Ontario location. Additionally, I received several forwarding emails that I was meant to be out of, other student email responses from a licensing issues--something that should have been handled more professionally and privately. While I'm thankful for the instruction I received from Oscar, the lack of structure and follow-through on the administrative side left a bitter part to my experience and was slightly misled by some of the faulty 5 star reviews left

    The whole experience was awesome and Mona and Kelley were Definitely a God sent! Thanks again !read more
