I…read moreloved my teacher Miss Maria, always willing to help whenever I needed but also felt like a mom whenever we needed it as well. I love the "drama free" She was always understanding and really pushed me to get better. I will really miss her a lot! I need to thank Mr Robert, the director for guiding me as well and always being understanding of my situation ( I am a mom of two). Always encouraging, never pushy. I have read the negative reviews regarding the hours and payments. Thankfully it has never happened to me. They actually helped me regarding my hours. I don't think it is fair to expect them to hand us everything on a platter. I got my money worth and I am absolutely happy to have chosen boca beauty! Their teachers are amazing! Miss Ayden (the make up teacher) is a gem as well. Full of knowledge and very caring. She knows her stuff! So in conclusion, I would absolutely recommend boca beauty! If you are goal oriented and focused, this place is just for you. I have always raised my concerns to my teacher or the director, and was always satisfied with the outcome. Thank you boca beauty!! I will miss you!

RUN, GET AWAY WHILE YOU CAN. They will GLADLY take your money and NEVER give you the experience you…read morepaid for. Also can't keep a teacher to save their life (Boca campus) The skin teacher is always replaced with a sub because she has to fill in for the cosmo or other course teachers due to them quitting or being fired, so the ones in the actual esthetician program are left without an instructor. The Boca campus is a complete JOKE they care more about their image than the integrity of their school. It's sad to see so much money go towards the funding of their lifestyle rather than the benefit of students. We were only allowed to use 2 wax strips per waxing session because the school refused to buy/provide more. The student "desk" are outdated. The towels in the Nail course have dry acrylic on them so they're hard and rough and haven't been replaced in YEARS. So are the towels for skin, they're torn up. The desk also have old dried up substances, only God knows what they are. Most of the equipment has not been updated. And God forbid a teacher cares enough to bring in her OWN salon supplies so the students get a better experience. NOPE, my teacher got in trouble for bringing in supplies. The director or whoever is in charge much rather make decisions based on emotion than what's best for student learning. Also witnessed my teacher get attacked by a student which was already sad within itself but the director was more concerned about saving the schools image rather than helping when authorities arrived. Didn't even see her check on my teacher (she may have after the fact but it wasn't her priority for sure) If you're looking to just get a degree without the learning then I'd say go for it. But the experience will most likely not be worth your money unless you get a teacher who genuinely cares (they typically quit or get fired when they try speaking up). You can definitely get a better experience for the same price elsewhere. Cosmo tends to have a bit of a better experience just bc I'm sure the funding is different so the school invest in them more but every program should have an equal opportunity especially giving the fact it's not cheap. However, I heard the Parkland campus isn't so bad. Also received NO help throughout my graduation process I didn't know I was graduating until the day of and they do NOT help you obtain your license or job placement. U literally leave and just never comeback, the most help I received was an email with the link for my license. By far the most DISGUSTING staff and school I have ever came across in the beauty industry. The school is just sorry overall and most people will not enjoy their experience attending here. God bless the teachers there who genuinely care.

My daughter was enrolled for the summer nail tech program after we went to visit the school…read moretogether (she is a minor - the classes for 16 and older). It started off great with the first teacher, but she was pregnant and her last day was at the end of last week. They replaced her with an incredibly incompetent teacher who seems to take pride in making people feel terrible. I heard it all week (only day three and it's that bad) about other students, crying, going to night classes to actually learn which she isn't teaching them, and overall made the feel terrible about themselves. The contact at the school loves to reply using the excuse that it's an adult program (does that mean adults should tolerate this - pay for this type of treatment and classroom atmosphere?!?). First of all, it's not an adult program or they wouldn't accept 16+. Adult or child, no one should have to endure this type of atmosphere, which is night and day from just last week when the original teacher was still there! I think it's horrible that the first response is an excuse, let alone this excuse. This is not what I paid for and this is not what my daughter signed up for... I highly suggest looking into another school before signing up for Boca Beauty Academy. I will update once the issue is resolved, but looking back I wish I did a little more digging into prior feedback as this seems to be a redundant issue with the school at both locations. Disappointing, to say the least. Also, I was told that I was paying for everything needed, and that is not the case. I had to spend a lot more money on decent supplies since what I paid for was junk. I will compile a list total how much out-of-pocket I've spent on decent products compared to what I paid for initially when I paid for the summer program.

Attention all medical providers, do not waste your time or money with this company. As a Nurse…read morePractitioner with CWS certification, the "PRP, MICRO NEEDLING & HAIR RESTORATION TREATMENTS ONLINE COURSE - USD 495" provides zero knowledge at the level of higher education. I spent $500 for a course that only describes the process of microneedling vs injection therapy. I have spoken with the owner directly, and was told that this is a course for aestheticians. However, I was originally told that my medical license needed to be verified in order to receive access to the course. So what was the purpose in license verification? The owner proceeded to tell me that it was my fault for purchasing an aesthetician course and refused to refund my money. In fact, in a most unprofessional outcome, I was hung up on. The fraudulent claims of what the course offered inevitably led to "AW Aesthetics" stealing my $500. The following is directly from the AW Aesthetics website: WHAT WILL YOU LEARN? - Learn how to use PRP to treat fine lines around lips, skin laxity of the neck, crow's feet, hair growth on the scalp regeneration, stretch marks scar improvement. In this statement, there is absolutely no reference to the fact that PRP is only used with microneedling vs injection. It is the responsibility of the business to clarify the level of expertise with which the courses are geared towards. I was under the assumption that I would be provided with education to further my practice since I had to provide proof of my medical license. This business practices in a shameful manner. The owner specifically asked me what my expectations were. I explained that I was looking to expand my practice to provide PRP injections for hair restoration. She stated that they offered that course in the past; however, this is currently not an option. Yet she still refused to refund my money. She even proceeded to state that she did not "need" my money and would provide an additional Zoom call. Why would anyone spend $500 for a conversation via Zoom. This company is a complete disgrace.
