My experience at Mason Anthony School of Cosmetology has been, without a doubt, my greatest…read morefinancial regret as an adult. Seeking a meaningful career change, I pursued massage therapy program. Upon enrollment, I was given a brief tour and required to complete various paperwork, including a student handbook and a contract stating that Mason Anthony would deliver the 600 credit hours mandated by the State of Ohio to graduate from massage school. In exchange, I paid approximately $7,000 in tuition--an amount I opted to pay in full rather than through financing or a payment plan. This was a significant financial investment, one I made in good faith, expecting to receive a structured and comprehensive education. My decision to choose Mason Anthony was based primarily on its affordability and accelerated program length, with the expectation of graduating in just under a year. Unfortunately, I quickly realized that lower tuition came at the expense of quality education. From the outset, I had concerns. Despite reasonable expectations for hands-on training early in the program, it took three months before I was allowed to perform a massage on another person. Even then, there was no structured guidance from the instructor, who failed to demonstrate proper techniques before requiring us to practice on classmates. The most glaring issue was the instructor himself. He demonstrated a complete lack of awareness that students learn at different paces and through various methods, making no effort to accommodate diverse learning styles. When I privately voiced concerns about being unprepared, I was dismissed and told to rely on senior classmates for guidance. Instead of providing structured education, the instructor wasted class time telling exaggerated personal anecdotes, complaining about his salary, and openly criticizing the administration. Instruction often consisted of watching online videos rather than engaging in hands-on learning. Worse still, he was frequently observed sleeping at his desk during in-person classes and even during Zoom sessions, with classmates documenting these occurrences. The lack of professionalism and commitment to student success was astonishing and unacceptable. For seven months, this subpar instruction persisted, with conditions deteriorating over time. During this period, the instructor canceled class approximately 17 times, equating to 68 hours of lost instruction--hours that were fully paid for but never made up. Instead of addressing this issue, the school arbitrarily awarded students credit for those hours without providing any educational content. The situation reached a breaking point when, without warning, the instructor abruptly resigned, notifying students via email just five minutes before class was scheduled to begin. The administration claimed they had no prior knowledge of his departure. What followed was a complete breakdown in communication and instruction. For a month, the school provided no structured education. Instead, the Operations Manager--who had no formal massage education--assigned essay questions as a means to accrue credit hours. This practice was nothing short of a fraudulent attempt to cover up the institution's failure to provide the education it had contractually agreed to deliver. I later learned that the daily one-hour lunch break we had taken for seven months was not authorized, yet the school still counted it toward our 600 required hours. This means that rather than receiving four hours of education per day, we were only taught for three, yet credited for four. In reality, I estimate that I received only half of the promised instructional hours, with much of my learning coming from self-study, video tutorials, and discussions with fellow students. When I raised these concerns with the administration, their proposed solution was an insult: they offered me the opportunity to retake the course free of charge with a new instructor. This was unacceptable. I had already sacrificed income from my full-time job to attend school, and I could not afford to repeat the program due to the institution's failures. The administration attempted to feign ignorance of the previous instructor's negligence, fraudulent credit hours, and multiple canceled classes--including several Zoom sessions. Their response demonstrated a complete disregard for their students' time, effort, and financial investment. After 11 months in the program, I graduated, only to realize I had not received the fundamental education necessary to pass the State of Ohio MBLEX licensing exam, which costs nearly $300 to take. The inadequacies of the program left me unprepared for the very career I had sacrificed so much to pursue. The school failed to uphold its obligations, and I refuse to accept the financial and professional consequences of their negligence. Mason Anthony needs to be held accountable for it's failure to provide quality education.

Based on Catholic history, this quaint but beautiful school has truly grown by leaps and bounds. I remember when it was a college and now they have grown to university status. Most of the students know each other because of its closely knit living quarters. Very safe campus with campus security and even Columbus Police that patrol the area day and night so the students will feel safe. My niece is currently an R.A. and stated that she would choose this school again. If you want to attend here, gaining scholarships or grants will help you along the way.

I went to Tolles a few years ago…read more I would have really loved my lab if I didn't feel like I was under constant attack the entire time. The ECE teachers are insanely unprofessional and rude. I asked for an extension on lesson plans my junior year because my grandfather had passed away and I was going out of state for the funeral. I was told essentially to get over it, people die and I wasn't allowed to have an extension. My lesson plans were graded unfairly. I would turn in lesson plans that were thought out and detailed and get an F, but if another student turned in the same lesson plan the following week it would've been graded as an A. There is no freedom to ask questions or learn, you're expected to teach yourself. I would not recommend this lab, if you want to work with kids I recommend finding a job at a daycare and going from there. These teachers do not need to be employed there any longer.

Back in 2017-2018 I came to Tolles ( I was organically from MP)…read more My classes were okay , My lab especially the main teacher was something else, she would mentally and physically abuse us with her words and actions. We all HATED going into lab, because we knew it was the worst time possible but stayed together and fought non stop- spoke up, and even did something about what was happening. We all wanted to skip lab and go hide somewhere else, it was a nightmare from Junior year into Senior year. When the juniors came thru, the main teacher Mrs. M praised them, talked highly about them and treated them differently then us, while we were getting yelled/ screamed at they got rewards, parties and fun time. I remember when the Lab next to us main teacher got upset with her lab and said "... if you guys want to mess around, acting like kids go next door"! I couldn't help but laugh. My other classes were fun, I enjoyed it because I was with childhood friends/ recent friends. All the labs saw how horrible we were treated and kept saying sorry. When our graduation came around 2018 in may. we all stood in front of all our peers, parents, leaders, other labs and as ECE came up, our Lab teacher Mrs. M slightly grabbed my arm and said " GO" no hug, no sorry nothing in front of the WHOLE school. My class watched as other labs ( teachers) were hugging and loving each one of their students , we weren't. I'm ashamed of it to this day, it's UNfair how badly we got treated for no reason, yes we made mistakes but not to where the own teacher would highly disrespect us daily. We were mentally abused , and I hope who ever reads this doesn't let anyone stop them from reaching their dreams.
