Facilities: I came in for guest services (specifically for a perm and haircut). Le Jeane Academe is located within a cute Colonial Revival style building that's as charming on the inside as it is outside! The interior is very modern and spacious. All of the equipment, from styling seats to manicure tables were very new in condition. There's even a cafe inside, although it was closed when I came due to the pandemic. Hygiene: All staff wear masks and appropriate personal protective equipment. They also check your temperature when you come in. Everything that a guest would touch, from the pens to the chairs and tables were sterilized between guests. On top of this, I had an entire area of 10 styling seats to myself (and the two students and instructor, of course). The safety measures taken combined with the ample social distancing allowed me to leave with peace of mind and no anxiety about whether or not I might've contracted coronavirus. Student to Instructor Ratio: The student to instructor ratio was 2:1. While this review rates Le Jeane Academe from the point of view of guest services, I think any prospective cosmetology student should pay attention! Other schools I've been to, often have an instructor supervising 5 students, as well as floating between multiple guests. The best part is that I had one instructor dedicated to me; she didn't divide her time amongst other guests or students, and supervised my service the entire time. Quality of Work: I was extremely satisfied with the turnout of my perm and cut. The students clearly take pride in their work, and the same is true for the instructor. Of course, as students, there were a few moments when they needed help, but with an instructor dedicated to me, she was literally always available to offer help and instruction. Unlike some other schools where the students may need to call an instructor for help, at Le Jeane Academe, because all of the instructors' attention was on her students and one guest, she watched and was able to anticipate moments when the students would've had questions and show them. Not only did it probably provide better instruction, but it sped up my time here, as there was no unnecessary downtime and everything just flowed seamlessly! Conclusion: As a guest, I got professional salon quality results with my perm and haircut, with the whole visit taking about 3.5 hours, which is slightly slower than a professional salon, but much faster compared to most schools I've been to. Not too shabby, considering I only paid $48 for services that would've easily cost me 3x to 4x more at a salon!

This review is on the cosmetology school (specifically the esthetics program), not the services…read moreprovided by students. During one 15 week period in 2018 there were 5 different esthetics teachers. They also lost their manager and a cosmetology teacher during this time. Smoking was taking place directly outside of a propped-open emergency exit and smoking breaks are taken in addition to timed/clocked out breaks. Those that don't smoke are being exposed to second-hand smoke several times per day because they are just outside the exit with the door open. Students take lunches and breaks whenever they want to be unavailable to perform a scheduled service that they do not wish to perform, which leaves students wanting to get their hours completed doing all the services that other students don't wish to do. Students are told to collect their things at 30 - 45 minutes before the end of the day and while they are still clocking hours so that the staff can leave promptly at 5:30, even turning off the lights while students are still in the classroom. Fridays esthetics' classes had no teacher other the cosmetology teacher and therefore busy with those students. Juniors who are also supposed to be tested out of every service by the end of their first 5/6 weeks but are unable to because the class schedule isn't followed. Many advanced esthetics classes are supposed to be given on Fridays, but since there is no Friday instructor it took the juniors additional time to become seniors. Services sometimes could not be performed because they did not have the supplies on hand to complete the service. This didn't happen only one time. Students have been asked/encouraged to call state representatives about proposed state laws that will affect cosmetology schools and students. The students weren't asked that they call and give their opinion. They were given a script of what to say. Not only was that inappropriate to ask of students, but anyone who wanted "extra hours" could come in and call representatives on a day the school is normally closed. This was inappropriate, unethical and unprofessional to ask students to do the political bidding of a school. Arbitrary new rules are thrown at students without any notice and make no sense, such as, students are told that they aren't allowed in the classroom unless it's teacher approved and it can only be for an hour. They are expected to be on the floor. That would be fine typically but there is no common sense factored into this rule. Sometimes all the rooms are full, all the towels and sheets are washed and dried so there is nothing to do on the floor and nowhere but the classroom to go.

I was assured by many many people in the salon that they could do what I was asking in one sitting. That was a complete lie. I wanted my hair to have blonde highlights and instead it was a disgusting eggshell brown color all over; and completely damaged. I have had my hair dyed many many times and have gone from a bright red to blonde in one day with no issues but they couldn't even do proper highlights. I ended up leaving the salon, sat in my car and called another salon. This new salon told me to come in and they completely transformed my hair! The ladies at the salon where I got my hair fixed said I'm not the first they've had come in to get their hair fixed from this school but the state and color that my hair was in was the worst they had to deal with. The people in Ohio State School of Cosmetology in Heath, are extremely unprofessional and it is not clean inside. They do a good job at hiding that until you sit down. They had girls who have only been there three days mixing color on their own (I heard every single one of them say "I have no clue what I'm doing"). The girl that did my hair even said that she didn't like the product she was using on my hair but "oh well it will have to do." Then they had the audacity to tell me that the crappy color they applied looked amazing and to come back in next week and would could finish it; plus charge me again! I understand they are students and learning but this school needs to take a note from Paul Mitchell and Aveda and learn to have some class, and have faculty watching over the students. Absolutely horrible.
