    I contacted XTYLO Beauty and Barber College because I was seriously interested in learning more…read moreabout their nail technology and esthetics programs. I called both the Tolleson and Phoenix locations simply asking for a rough estimate or general range for tuition so I could determine whether the program was within my budget before driving approximately 30 minutes to the school. I was told repeatedly that they would not provide any tuition information, even a ballpark estimate, unless I came in person, completed a tour, sat through a presentation, and received a packet afterward. I explained respectfully that I already have a general idea of my grant and scholarship eligibility and simply wanted to avoid wasting both my time and theirs if the program was outside of my budget. They still refused to provide any pricing information or even basic program details over the phone. What made the experience worse was the customer service. During one call, I was hung up on while I was still trying to ask a question. When I called back and asked to speak with a manager, I was initially told the manager had already left for the day. I was also given difficulty when asking for the manager's name. When I called back again shortly afterward, I was suddenly able to speak with a manager, which made the previous information I was given feel inconsistent and unprofessional. When I finally spoke with management, I again tried to explain why refusing to provide even a general tuition range felt uncomfortable and unnecessarily high-pressure. I was met with the same repeated response that it was simply "policy" and that they could not provide information unless I came in person. There was very little effort to address my actual concern or explain why the school requires potential students to go through an entire in-person presentation before receiving basic pricing information. For me, tuition transparency is extremely important when considering a school. Requiring prospective students to travel to the campus, complete a tour, and sit through a presentation before being told what the program may cost felt more like a sales process than an educational consultation. The lack of transparency, inconsistent information, poor phone etiquette, and overall customer service experience ultimately made me decide that this is not a school I would feel comfortable attending. I understand that schools have policies, but prospective students should be able to receive basic information such as tuition ranges without being pressured into an in-person appointment first. I hope the school reconsiders this policy and improves how potential students are treated when they call for information.

    Maxima School of Makeup Artistry is THE premier school for learning all things professional makeup…read morerelated. Not only that, but the director of the school Salpie is very hands on more than just makeup. We learn everything from sanitation, application and even set etiquette & personal advice that help you reach your goals that much faster. I personally graduated in 2013 and the educational experience I have had in association with this school is fantastic and never ending... Salpie ensures your understanding of the curriculum before graduation and helps you surpass any obstacles even after attendance. You get a fantastic brand new starter kit, and once you've gone through all that makeup (which takes a while even working everyday) the school helps you restock your kit at discounted prices until you, yourself have that ability as a working professional Makeup Artist. Overall, an amazing experience and I continue to get hands on education working with Salpie today. I have done several movie and commercial she sends you on. As well as assisting her on set, giving you real time experience of what it's like to become a professional certified MUA. I believe the certification is a necessary component to becoming a makeup artist because there is an industry standard and Salpie helps you hit all the criteria to set you up for the success YOU desire. I highly recommend this school to anyone wanting a serious career as a Makeup Artist.
