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.

Student sprayed them, grabbed the scissors and in one fell swoop cut OFF my bangs!! Two inches ABOVE the eyebrows - I look like a fool. It will take until November for my bangs to grow back. The manager came over and tried to "fix" it, and the student apologized, but the hair had already been cut off. It looks like a child who played "hairdresser" with a friend and it went left. Never going back again. If only he had had the manager do the bang trim, or did it a little at a time. My boyfriend laughed that they "butchered" me.

It's great for seniors like me that have to budget. And others that have to. Parents with kids can…read moreget the whole family groomed including themselves. For the price of mom's perm. I never walked out regretting. You get a decent if not better cut than what you might pay $40 and up. They train them good before they can do for real. All the students are polite asking questions because they really want you to be satisfied with them. They're just starting a new thing and are excited..

I had read the comments about the services and the low stars are not the students fault. It is a…read moreschool and they are all still learning so you cannot expect the same results from them as a hairdressing from Newburyport street with 10+yrs of experience. You may get someone who's done 56 hair cuts or it might be their very first on a real person. Be patient and understanding. My review is for the schooling it self. The instructors put it a lot of effort but it was diminished but the management and owner. Many students I went to school there with were not able to find employment because of the school's reputation. Do not go here unless you already have connections to get a stable placement. Also for future students: salons do not want someone who only knows the basics, which is what they firmly stood by when I went there. We were reprimanded for trying anything else/extra. Put in the effort for learning more regularly used techniques OUTSIDE of the school and tell no one.
