It's also an open floor plan once you get past the front counter (sans the cage in the middle). Behind that is another cage where you walk in and get your waxing done. All in all, the feel was a lot warmer than expected, given the color scheme and the cage thing. Prices can be reasonable, given the product (brow wax $6), but hair service still on competitive par with other businesses. I was gifted a Groupon, and I think something was said that a normal hair cut with shampoo, conditioner, style is around $40? You have to keep in mind, yes, it's a school. They are learning. But the teacher to student ratio is about 1:4. Sometimes 2:4, depending on how many students are working. I'm sorry I forget the girl's name who worked on me. She's from Nashua, NH and has a short hairstyle. Her grandfather was a barber in NH so she comes from a line of hair cutters. She worked right from a picture in one of their books, and got the style I chose, perfectly. She did have a question about a piece of it, but the teacher corrected her. I do have to say, she must be doing something right if the teacher said it was VERY good, and her peers kept coming over and watching. She deserved the accolades. I love the style and she was spot on in doing the cut. Took her time and didn't rush it. She made it worth going. I'd go again, with or without a groupon.

I attended Florida Academy's HVAC program while working full-time in the HVAC industry, which…read moreallowed me to compare what was taught in class with the realities of the field. I want to start by recognizing the night instructors, who were one of the best aspects of the program. They genuinely cared about student success, were supportive, and worked hard to help students learn. That said, I found the curriculum to be very basic and not fully reflective of what technicians encounter on the job. Because I was already working in the trade, I noticed a significant gap between classroom instruction and real-world expectations. For a program costing approximately $13,000, I expected a more in-depth education and stronger preparation. I was also disappointed by the amount of hands-on training available. There did not always seem to be enough equipment for the number of students, which limited opportunities to practice and develop practical skills. Communication with administration was another challenge. During an unexpected medical issue that required surgery and an extended recovery, I requested temporary accommodations so I could remain engaged with the program. Given that portions of the coursework already incorporate online instruction, I believed some flexibility would be possible, but that was not my experience. The biggest issue for me ultimately became attendance and make-up hours. To be fair, the school offers make-up sessions Monday through Friday from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM and additional hours on Saturdays. However, many night students work full-time during the day and, like myself, also work weekends. Those options simply did not fit my work schedule or the realities faced by many working adults. When I approached administration to discuss my situation and explore possible alternatives, I was informed that no other options were available. While I understand that policies must exist, the interaction left me feeling as though it was essentially a take-it-or-leave-it situation rather than a collaborative effort to help a student remain on track. By the time my class graduates, I will owe more than 60 make-up hours, which has led me to make the difficult decision to withdraw from the program. I simply do not see a realistic path to fulfilling those requirements while maintaining my employment obligations. I believe more flexible scheduling options, particularly for working adults, would help students stay enrolled and complete the program successfully. The career support advertised by the school also fell short of my expectations. During the ten months I attended, there was only one job fair for the night program, and only one company participated. I did not see the level of industry connections and employment assistance that I anticipated. Overall, there were dedicated instructors and positive experiences, but I believe the program would benefit from stronger hands-on training, better communication, more robust career support, and significantly greater flexibility for working adults and students facing unforeseen circumstances. Prospective students should carefully consider whether the program's structure and cost align with their personal and professional needs before enrolling.

**WARNING TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS**…read more I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel a MORAL obligation to warn other estheticians about my experience. I enrolled in the Advanced Esthetics course expecting quality, hands-on education. Before class even started, I questioned how four advanced modalities could realistically be taught in a single day (10-5 pm). I even tried to cancel before the class began, but I was told I couldn't because I had signed a contract. Including credit card fees, I paid $1,552.50 which I was told was the discounted price from the regular $2,500. Another student said she paid a different amount. It's A LOT of money for me right now, but I was trying to be hopeful. For that price, I expected extensive hands-on training. Instead, we WATCHED a TCA peel, WATCHED a Hydrafacial on live models. The teacher did demo a microneedling and dermaplane. Our only practice was some microneedling on a model that I shared with another student, and the "hands on" dermaplaning portion consisted of practicing on our own ankles for about 15-20 minutes. Yes...our ANKLES. I could have done that at home. I even came to class without makeup because I was led to believe we would be practicing these procedures on one another.That never happened. My biggest disappointment wasn't just the class itself--it was the gap between what I was led to expect during the enrollment process and what was actually delivered. Had I known the true amount of hands on training I would receive, I never would have enrolled. No student should have to pay twice for the education they believed they were buying the first time. To be fair, after I repeatedly expressed my dissatisfaction, I was invited back for additional training with Natalie in her med spa. That day was genuinely excellent. She provided valuable education, introduced me to additional modalities, and gave me what felt like a one day internship in a med spa setting. I am truly grateful for that experience, and it was a very good day, which is why it was such a difficult decision to leave this review. I am grateful to Natalie, but I still believe I significantly overpaid for the original class because the amount of hands on instruction simply did not justify the price. I literally could have watched these for free on YouTube. Future students should not have to repeatedly complain before receiving the level of education they paid for. I also want to issue another warning: be careful paying for OTHER courses that we, as estheticians, legally cannot perform. Please review Florida's scope of practice before enrolling in any advanced course. If you still choose to continue, just know you will most likely be watching a live demonstration rather than actually using the equipment. It's the equivalent of signing up for driver's education and only watching the instructor drive. A course that only allows you to watch is not an advanced training, it's an expensive demonstration.
