    Does variety of high end spa and dermatological treatments performed by the students currently taking coursework and supervised by instructor. You can't get services this inexpensive unless you do them yourself. No bells, whistles, fountains, sculptures in the decor but the services available using high quality products makes it a great value for your beauty.

    Comfy and cozy and ready for my skin to glow!

    If I could give this school a negative million I would…read more I can't begin to tell you what a waste of money it was. The staff here is TERRIBLE, they're rude and incompetent. The material I learned here was CRAP....it did NOTHING to prepare me for working in a salon...if I could redo any mistake I had made money wise it'd be to save my $16K+ and attend Pivot Point. GIRLS, do your homework! ....I was suckered in by the promise of learning new cuts from industry trained professionals but I was absolutely robbed blind. DON'T let this happen to you. I suggest to have a look around the school and take into account the ventilation (b/c there's only one door [that usually stays closed] and when you're doing perms and other chemical services, this is a HUGE no-no)...The big tell tale sign is the constant rotation of teachers...They're always quitting! I couldn't get comfortable with one b/c just as soon as I was starting to learn something they would just take off. I ran into one at another school and she had nothing but terrible things to say about Hair Professional's Academy. When I tell stylists where I went to school the common response is: "Oh my God, you didn't! That school's a joke.." Do yourself a world of good, stay away from these chains of schools, they're going to steal your money..rush you through a program without giving two sh*ts to what happens to you and when you leave you'll be the laughing stock of the Cosmetology field :[

    Important to Know Before Applying to Waldorf: Be aware that…read moreWaldorf retains all student records and personal information for seven years--even if your child is not accepted. In my experience, the school seemed more focused on admitting strong test-takers than on fostering genuine learning. Full transparency: my child was rejected after just one day in class--actually only three hours--despite being told there would be a two-day trial and a 65-day review period following the submission of recommendations and testing records. That felt misleading, to say the least. It would have been helpful to receive accurate information up front, rather than going through the emotional and logistical upheaval of preparing for enrollment, only to be blindsided. They know how to say all the right things in the beginning. Honestly, their approach reminded me more of a sales pitch than an educational process.

    Our family has been a part of the WSD community since 2018, starting in the Early Childhood program…read moreand continuing in to the early elementary years. Every day I pick up my children they are filled with joy. The strong bonds they have forged with their classmates in both the early childhood through the middle school grades is profound. The opportunity to connect to peers of all ages, the support of the teachers who express care and concern for all children, and the integration of art and music has given my children a unique educational experience filled with imagination and creativity. We feel grateful to have found this community.

    BETTER & BIGGER!…read more Expanded PRO SHOP that is STILL the best place to pick up last minute stuff. I trust this Shop as products are tested for effectiveness instead of choosing a wide array of selections from Ulta or Sephora that may be costly. MAKEUP INSTRUCTORS -- Based on being nosey, like everything else, your LEARNING EXPERIENCE would depend on the instructor. You may pick and choose by changing Class Time (day vs night and in between called afternoon). MAKEUP MODEL -- Fun, fun, fun! LESSONS from Students: (1) I NEED more makeup (being an aspiring Drag Queen is NOT enough). Audition tape looked great with seamingly heavy eye makeup; (2) I have more eyelid space than initial perception; (3) falsies are easier to apply than anticipated; (4) I know how to apply cream foundation now; (5) put that GLOB of moisturizer ON before makeup! (Geez...I'm not heavy-handed enough). Learning the BASICS is always important!

    I only took the first three courses of the program, Basic Makeup 1, Basic 2, and Media HD, because…read moreI knew these would be most beneficial to my career (I'm a TV News Makeup Consultant working for my husband who runs the CBS and Fox newsrooms). I also attended the brand new weekend workshop where Jill combined Bridal and Airbrush into one day. The owner and main instructor is Jill and she's rather unprofessional. There are also a few assistant teachers. Class starts with a lecture/demonstration and then students pair up and practice the day's lesson on each other but this is rushed through and unclear most of the time. Don't make the mistake of partnering with the same person two days in a row. I did and Jill scolded me loudly in front of everyone like I was a child. When you have finished, an assistant teacher will quickly critique your work. The curriculum builds on itself and you learn something new every day including color theory, prepping a face, sanitation, corrective makeup, making and following a face chart, and day to night makeup for example. They provide all the products you need in Makeup 1 (you'll need your own set of brushes) and this is useful because you get to experiment with different brands of makeup. They also sell all these products at the school but don't feel pressured to buy the brands they push. It did seem like the school was very eager to make money off us regularly. Keep in mind that drug store brands are perfectly acceptable when you are first starting out. By Makeup 2 you will need to have a small kit put together, all of which you pick and purchase on your own. For specific lessons, Jill brought in models with dark skin, mature models, and Asian models. They are not real models but normal, everyday ladies. Because the class was so large, about 25 of us, there were 2 students for every model. Most of us had complaints about this because we only got to work on one half of the models face which seemed ludicrous. Also, the day we worked on Asian models to learn how to do makeup for monolids, our model did not actually have monolids so that was a lesson my partner and I did not learn fully and there are no second chances or opportunities for extra help at this school. Another frustration many of us shared was that all the instructors weren't synchronized with their critiques. An example is Jill teaching us to moisturize the clients face with your hands so you can feel their bone structure and began to create a plan in your mind of what corrective makeup they may need. Later, an assistant teacher told us not to do that because clients don't want you touching their face. On photo shoot day in Media HD, you need to bring your own model. This is particularly difficult if you are from out of town and some students had to pay the school to bring in a model for them. We were all disappointed that our shots turned out to be full body shots and not the close up beauty shots we were expecting (for use in our portfolios). Never park in the garage in the building. Before school started, I called the school asking where to park and the girl told me the garage there was $14. On the first day I parked there and was shocked when I had to pay $36! Turns out it's only $14 if you get there really early in the morning. This is the case for all the parking garages in that area but I found a garage for $14 all day on Canal and Lake which is a safe and easy 15 minute walk to school. Class is only 2.5 hours a day so it stretches on for months and becomes financially draining if you are from out of state. Besides the large expense for school, I spent an extra $1000 per WEEK on hotel accommodations, food, and daily parking downtown for school. I wish they would have had an accelerated program which fit into a shorter time frame. Following each course, you are asked to write your opinions anonymously about the course but I don't recommend writing anything negative about Jill. Someone in our class said Jill told far too many personal stories which took away from learning time. For the next week, Jill constantly brought this up during class and whoever wrote it must have felt very embarrassed. The one day Bridal/Airbrush workshop is a good investment. Instead of doing bridal makeup application, which we all knew how to do since we were current or previous students of the school, Jill taught us the business of bridal. And the airbrush part was good because the school provided everything and Jill let us get hands on right from the start. This school gives you a basic foundation to build on. You will still need lots of practice.
