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. Raphael's is a poorly run family business that the owner, Ralph Delserone, Is only interested in making money, not in the students or the student salon customers.
