I should have wrote this a long time ago. But it's exceptionally true to my nature to be "better…read morelate than never". So on my 1 year anniversary of graduating from Mansfield, here it goes... I started my journey with Mansfield when I was 17 years old. I graduated when I was 34. To no fault but that of my own. Life throws curve balls, and I was hit with many. Janice and the staff at Mansfield NEVER gave up on me. I am eternally grateful for their constant support and encouragement to finish the program. I was not an easy student. With the years of experience the staff here has, they had the ability to work with me and help me achieve my dreams. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for education in cosmetology, especially passing your boards. Cosmetology school is designed for just that, and this is Mansfield's mission. Thank you Janice and Karen for sticking by my side and never giving up on me.

Simply calling to obtain services is an ordeal. OK, I called to get their website address so I…read morecould check their prices and schedule....and was told that they are still working on it!?!? All right, next I asked about their hours; they are as follows: MTW 10-11 a.m., Thurs/F 9-11 a.m., M/F 1-2:30 p.m., M/Thurs 5-7 p.m. Got it? I was almost afraid to ask the next question: Do you braid, twist, or work on natural non-caucasian hair? The "instructor" almost choked. She responded that Mansfield is a "basic" beauty school.....uhhh yeah, and so what exactly does that mean? While she was stuttering I ended her misery and told her that she had answered my question and that I'd pass on the information she'd so eloquently provided regarding their "limited technological prowess, hours, and cosmetology options" to my acqaintances, friends, and family.

I recently contacted Victory Driving School to schedule driving practice with my valid Azerbaijani…read moredriver's license, which includes a full English translation on the back. Despite Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 90, Section 10 clearly stating that foreign license holders can legally drive in the state for up to one year with a proper translation, the school rejected my application citing Appendix C from the RMV -- which only applies to license conversion, not to the legality of driving as a recent arrival. I have been in the U.S. for just 4 months, well within the 6-month window confirmed by the RMV for driving on a foreign license. I explained this to the school, but they were unwilling to acknowledge the legal difference. I found their approach dismissive and poorly informed of state law. It's unfortunate to see a driving school show such limited understanding of the legal framework they operate within. I do not recommend them to international drivers, especially those who meet all legal requirements but are treated as if they don't.

I was extremely nervous and freaked out a lot on the road, but Instructor Ray was always very patient and helped me gain confidence. He had a set plan on how we progress each day and he drilled me on all the important aspects on the exam. Passed on my first try with him. My significant other also passed with this school. Highly recommend. The scheduling has also been very easy, and they send you confirmations/reminders the day before. Very friendly staff.

I'm going to be be the first one to call this place out on their false advertising! Driving school?…read moreHa! This place sells miracles! I have always been Terrified (with a capital T, mind you) of driving and got my permit a good five times before actually taking the plunge. Do that math. That's 10+ years! I researched driving schools in my area and happened upon QADS. I was skeptical because that's just my nature and my confidence was in the dumps, but I figured ONE LESSON WOULDN'T HURT ME. Hopefully. At least not too much. I'm so glad I did. My first time behind the wheel, Andrea was very patient with me and gave me tips. She was also very friendly and made me feel at ease, which was very important because let's not forget that Terrified bit. As I got more and more comfortable behind the wheel with both Andrea and Ray, my confidence level was given a boost. Then came the actual road test. Yeah, I figured that would come eventually. These instructors know the ins and outs of the road test and will prepare you to the best of their ability. Oh, and they're not shy to let you know whether you are ready or not. Why would you want to waste your money? You just have to trust them. I was soooo nervous the day of my test and Ray assured me I would be fine. The kicker was the car full of students just before me who had all failed (from another school, of course). I passed on the first try and was completely stunned, to tell you the truth. I never thought it would have been possible. Look, I got my license in December. It is now May. I suppose I waited to write the review just to make sure it would stick LOL. I am ever-grateful to QADS. I highly recommend them to anyone who is overly anxious and/or nervous. I would imagine they are a great resource for younger drivers as well. Their prices are very reasonable and staff are caring as all hell. Can I say that? Also, does anyone take lessons AFTER they've already gotten their license? I kinda just wanna hang out. :)

The classroom was pretty dated, but the instructors definitely care about people passing the road…read moretest and actually becoming safe, careful drivers. They patiently go through most of what you need to know as a new driver, and they are nice people that won't stress you out or be too strict on you.

People can be good drivers but not know how to teach driving. Instructor Liu is very good at what he does. I could tell that he is very experienced from the first lesson that I had with him. He is calm and knows how to explain driving techniques in both English and Chinese. What I loved the most was that he gave me wonderful feedback and was extremely encouraging. Instructor Liu definitely helped me with my fear of driving and gave me the courage to take the road test! I highly recommend scheduling your lessons with him if you decide to go with this driving school.
