During my time, there were multiple issues, definitely ones that wouldn't be happening at a respectable school. Let's start with the cleanliness and structure of the school. IT IS BEYOND DISGUSTING. The bathroom has blood and a collection of other bodily fluids on the stall walls (which has been brought to the directors attention multiple times and still remains). The pedicure station is a hallow wooden bench that floods regularly. This has created mold and rot to the structure, that is very visible on the wall. At one point, there was a gas leak that the students and staff had reported multiple times. It took over a week for the school to fix or acknowledge it, which resulted in the school shutting down for a day to finally fix it. The water temperature is a tricky thing as well, and regular clients will crack jokes while you try to make the water in the sink not scolding hot or freezing cold. The place is a disaster. Product and supplies. Part of the expense of attending the school is the tool kit, which includes a ridiculous amount of things that you will either not use or breaks regularly. The teachers that I had struggled to ration supplies for lessons and the salon section was constantly out of very necessary things. Not a hair color here and there, we're talking all shampoos, massive amounts of color, perm solutions, the list goes on and on. I personally had a client who was getting a perm, the assistant director did the consultation with me, acknowledged that the client needed two boxes of perm solution, brought me one box and told me to have the teacher get the next one when I was ready, and left. Needless to say, there was no other box of perm solution... She left knowing this, my client having only half her hair coated, and my teacher trying to scramble for a solution. IT'S THE OBVIOUS CARELESSNESS AND THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT ARE MANDATORY DAY TO DAY. I truly believe that most errors on clients were created by lack of supplies or someone not ordering them correctly... Staff and environment is really the cherry on top. I can personally say that the teachers, I was lucky enough to have, were top shelf and went above and beyond. They resulted to bringing in their own supplies, when the school didn't have what they needed. I can't say that for the whole staff. The director is notorious for yelling in her fish bowl office, that sits in the lobby I might add, at staff or students. Doesn't matter who is sitting in the waiting area, will put on a full on show. Approaching her was mostly a hassle as well. When asked about constant dress code or policy changes, she was extremely condescending and always had a "because I said so" attitude. While I attending, we had multiple students threaten other students and teachers, and the "uppers" always let them back, with zero action taken. An example: threats to run over another student who was pregnant, the directors reply "the parking lot isn't school property". This resulted in the student dropping out due to safety concerns the next day and the other student with zero repercussions. There was always a level of favoritism and I truly believe she was willing to put other students at risk because of that. There's a constant turn over in educators as well, and all of the students knew entirely too much of the behind the scenes, the lines were constantly blurred. We're talking educator/student affairs, educators partying with students, the list goes on and on. Looking back, I see the school for what it is. It's a place to get your certificate. It's not the placed to expect grown adults running a respectable school. It's stepping into a time machine, entering the "Mean Girl" world to the highest degree and the staff is part of the clique. It's not a place where you are guaranteed the best education or access to the best products on the market. It's the lowest of the tiers, when looking at other beauty school programs and locations. Is it worth the money? Ehh, not out of pocket. If you're looking for a professional experience and education, invest and go elsewhere. **update to the response** The fact that McKenzie or Jessica replied only to the cleaning concerns is absurd. The school has been reported multiple times, for years, before I was even there. They make zero changes, the staff remains under qualified and unprofessional, the facility is still disgusting (I was literally there on Thursday for a graduation and couldn't even use the bathroom because of how disgusting it is), and they continue to not provide or keep in stock products. They should be embarrassed to be taking people's money.

There is Parent committee that is not open to all parents not a PTO but a PAC- you can "snail" mail in a form to suggest some ideas.
