The owner is a brilliant teacher and she employs teens from the community, which is amazing on so many levels. The classes are as fun as they are varied, which means students of any age and every level are made to very welcome. Every time I go I see young people painting, sculpting, chatting away. Not a phone in sight. I was so impressed that I took an adult wheel throwing class and it was clear that the Abington Art Studio is for anyone and everyone. The community of Clarks Summit should thank its lucky stars that we have such a wonderful place for people of all ages to go.

I finally get an opening with this studio after trying over and over again, and when we show up on the first night of class, the studio is locked and no lights are on. I call and message the number on the sign outside, and no one gets back to me for 24 hours. I'm then told that this class has been moved to a completely different day and time, and no one bothered to reach out to us! Not sure why I'm expected to be a mind reader. And now that this class has been moved, they officially have ZERO classes that cater to children with working parents. Beyond disappointing.

If I could rate this "school" with zero stars, I would. I attended here during the period of Feb…read more2024-Dec 2025. 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.

Even when I went to pay no one asked if I was happy with the service. I didn't say anything at that point because the girl walked up with me and although I was not happy I didn't want to embarrass her. Yes you get what you pay for.
