Thay vào đó, nhiều người cảm thấy bị áp lực, e ngại và không dám lên tiếng. Một môi trường học tập nên khuyến khích và hỗ trợ học viên, chứ không phải khiến họ cảm thấy sợ hãi hoặc lo lắng. Dựa trên trải nghiệm của bản thân tôi và những gì tôi đã nghe từ nhiều người khác, tôi không thể giới thiệu ngôi trường này. Bầu không khí tiêu cực do một số nhân viên tạo ra đã làm lu mờ những gì lẽ ra phải là một trải nghiệm học tập tích cực. My experience with Top Line Beauty College was extremely disappointing, largely because of one staff member, Kim. She often acts as though she runs the entire school and creates an uncomfortable environment for students. Over the years, I have heard similar concerns from numerous coworkers, classmates, and colleagues who felt they were treated unfairly or disrespectfully. Students come to beauty school to learn, grow, and build confidence in a supportive environment. Instead, many feel intimidated and afraid to speak up. A learning environment should encourage students, not make them feel fearful or anxious. Based on my experience and the experiences shared by others, I would not recommend this school. The negative atmosphere created by certain staff members overshadows what should be a positive educational experience.

Negatives: I overheard instructor #1 publicly berate a student who asked her a question. She made comments out loud like "what did I say!?", "what did I tell you?", and "you already massaged the head so there's nothing you can do now". I almost turned around in my chair to defend the student (who was being very polite). Instructor #2 asked me what I thought of my hair dye while it was still on my head and processing. I replied that it looked pretty dark, so I don't know yet. She replied (as if in defense), "Well, beautiful faces will look good no matter what color their hair turns out". Maybe it was meant to be reassuring, but it was odd. Instructor #3 DEMANDED I sit back down for some type of hair check after I told the student I needed to leave (after 3 hours). This instructor told me I should expect service to take 3x as long because they are students. Well OK, but could someone have warned me in advance? And not be RUDE to the customer (me) about it? I'm torn, because Betsy did a WONDERFUL JOB and I'd like to go back for a haircut. But THREE different instructors were rude to either their student or their customer, so not sure what I will do or how to rate this school.

When I got there I realized it was not the stylist I wanted but took a chance on her anyway (they had the same name). Paul Mitchell needs to explain the services on their website more clearly. I had no idea what a phase I or phase II was when booking. Had I known, I would have booked phase II (I believe the students are more experienced). That was my mistake which is the only reason I marked the review as a two star instead of one. On to the actual service, the student was friendly and the hair wash was nice and gentle. I told her I have thick heavy hair and I wanted lots of layers starting at my shoulders and a couple inches off with face framing bangs. Right away I could tell she didn't know where to start, which is fine. I wasn't expecting perfection and was fully prepared to walk out with some flaws. My stylist asked for guidance from the teacher there. She helped with the bangs and that's about it. The student never asked for help again and the teacher never came back. I thought it was weird that she wasn't lifting my hair and cutting layers like I usually see with a layered haircut. I thought she must be taking it slow and doing a different approach. I don't know what she was doing because she started blowing drying my hair not long after. So I thought maybe she'd cut more when it's dry. She proceeds to add a bunch of products to my hair with two other students trying to do a blow out for an HOUR. After that she asked me how I liked it, I told her it's hard to tell because it looks the same. The bangs were the only noticeable difference. I asked if she did layers and she said she did. She told me to let her know if anything's wrong they can fix it. But at this point, I didn't want to waste anymore time. Nearly two hours on that chair for little to no difference. I came in for a haircut and couldn't even get that. I would've appreciated it if the student at least tried but it seemed like she wasn't interested. She could've asked for help any of that time and the teacher could've checked up on her (they stay around the area but mainly socialize with each other or sit in empty chairs on their phones). I also did not feel comfortable with the students around gossiping about other clients, it was completely unprofessional and made me feel uncomfortable to voice my opinion. When I got home I noticed that the bangs weren't even at all once I tied my hair up. At that point I was really frustrated because the way she cut it was as easy as a YouTube tutorial cut. She never bothered to check if they were even so I had to even it out at home. The blowout also wasn't really there and all the products she put made my hair feel heavy and weighed down and a bit crunchy. I can handle a bad haircut - I have long thick hair that grows fairly quick. I'm not too picky either but to come spend two hours for a service and not receive anything is annoying to say the least.

So you can imagine the shock of walking into this place. The price online was different than what they told me. Twice as much. It was a very hot day and I asked, "do you have AC". They turned on a fan on and turned it toward me. They didn't have a big pedicure chair to sit in where you put your feet down into a bath of water. They had a movable thing that they sit on and then I put my feet on it. I also put my feet in a bucket of water below me. The first girl that worked on me couldn't even cut my toenails with the clippers. My nails are not difficult to cut. An older gentleman had to take over and he pinched me with the clippers. Luckily. no skin was broke. The instructor was standing there when I said, "Ouch" and she didn't even blink or even apologize.This gentleman didn't even know how to put the nail polish on so when I got home, I had to cover my nails with more polish. Not sure if it's worth going back to this place. I would pay double the price at my nail person and get better service and not have to drive so far. I was the only person getting my nails done and there was a gentleman getting a five dollar haircut. No other customers. That should've told me something. There were quite a few supervisors just sitting around and eating. One last thing, I don't know how this the school gets accredited. I think if the health department walked in, they would be closed.

    They are very disorganized, also there is a huge language barrier. The girl who did my nails did a…read moregood job but I was unable to communicate with her at all, she did not understand English. Prices are good, but they need better organization, and also their credit card machine was not working so it was cash only. Not sure if I would be back. Definitely would not get my hair done there just for the only reason that it's nearly impossible to communicate with them. They also need to update their prices online because they don't match what they charge when you arrive.

The person servicing my feet used the drill bit so long that she really thinned out my nails & caused injury & intolerable pain, I almost asked her to leave those toes blank. But I also didn't want to leave with an incomplete service or take away her learning opportunity. It was extremely hard to communicate with them because of the language barrier, it was helpful when the teachers would come over & guide & also be a translator when these issues arose. The vibe overall was fine, the seating where we were guided was pretty uncomfortable set up wise, I felt like I was bending like a pretzel and was very unstable. My manicure came with my gel stuck to my fingers and lots of cuts, bubbles in my nails, and even hair. The sanitization wasn't the best either, tools were continually dropped and continued to be used. I also noticed dirty gloves on clean surfaces. I'd come back to try other things but I'm a bit unsettled by my nails experience. I also came aware that I would be getting services by students, so I completely understand the learning curves. I think the teachers could've stepped in more and supported, guided, corrected, and maybe even shown or done the procedure partially to give more guidance.
