FUTURE STUDENTS! - Upland- MANICURING Program: Hi! I am a…read morerecent July'26 graduate of the manicuring program at the Upland SSA location. If you are looking into this program and this school specifically, I will be giving honest feedback about the program, the staff, and the way the school is ran. Payment: The said total cost for the manicuring program (400 hours- Full Time: 9a-5p Tuesday through Saturday | Part Time: 5p-9p Monday through Friday) is $5500 - FAFSA not available, must pay out of pocket or monthly. Not included in this total is your $100 enrollment fee along with the $1-$2k you will be spending out of pocket for nail supplies, school supplies and a rolling nail case. They will provide a manicuring kit - included in your tuition total - but they do not help you restock in supplies and they may not provide everything at once as they usually have nail drills and UV/led lamps on back order. (I did not get my UV light until 2.5 months into my program- but the school does have 4 that manicuring students are able to share amongst one another). If you are looking to buy a rolling case- RECOMMENDED- use Facebook Market place as your first option if not the lowest you will find one is $100! They will tell you that you get a locker- you do not. That is only for the cosmos, barbers and esthis- they focus their time and energy more on these programs whereas manicurists are ghost like. Manicuring students will be taking their supplies home with them each night. Program: Unfortunately, my class and I had an instructor whose first day was the same as ours. (She transferred from West Covina SSA- and was unsure of where everything was as well as how upland campus ran their program). This being said, we struggled a lot the first 4 weeks; when we would ask her about something she was always unsure and had no solution. During our tour of the school it was said that we would be practicing in the workbook, hands on, and we would have slideshows as well as samples of everything being taught. This was not true, though the instructor was new to the campus she had been teaching the manicuring program years prior but unfortunately, was never given proper training by Upland campus- I do not blame for this, but the school needs to be more responsible in that aspect . Everything that was promised was more of a showcase to bring in students. You spend 5 weeks in the classroom focusing on workbooks, 5 weeks in capstone(self study) while also taking clients and the last few weeks of your program you are on the floor the entire day. This being said, once you are in capstone you MUST be doing your workbooks at home whenever you are able because the staff will book you back to back with no worry about you as a student, and sit there while you miss all of your breaks, as well as missing capstone and stressing out. Staff: The staff at first is intimidating and definitely has their favorites. By favorites I mean, if you are one of them they allow you to get away with passing off your clients to other students just because you don't feel like taking that client or they let you show up to school late with no consequences and much more. But, if you are on their good side then no need to worry! Unfortunately though, that's not the case for most. But do get to know them, outside of being instructors they are friendly. General: In general, this school is not ran like a school but ran like a salon. If you've done nails for a while and are fast/ good at what you do, you'll do just fine but if you are someone who has no experience and is just starting off; you are going to struggle and probably fall out of love with doing nails. If you're quick with nails, don't be when you're here because they abuse it. I was quick and they would throw clients that weren't mine at me, or they would purposely have me miss breaks just so I could take a client and they would make money. They work students until they can't anymore. They also use threatening language at times to scare students into "behaving" or following their rules. There are so many behind the scenes scenarios that go on that aren't resolved or spoken about. All in all, before committing to this location/ school, do your research make sure it truly checks all of your boxes.

The class is very thorough so you are not left doubting your ability to work in TV, film or with professional photographers.

Go to Cammua and get trained by professionals who have worked on celebrities and have years of experience under their belt. Thank you Marylu!

Went on a Friday morning in April and got a wolf cut, by Lilliana. Instructor came over at multiple times and would demonstrate on one side of my head so she could practice with the other. On the phone they said it'd take "30-40 min" but I think that's only if you're doing something simple. She had to learn the whole style, so it took maybe 1.5-2 hours. Was fine with me though. Students have specific weekdays they work (usually about 3 out of the 5), so if you like one you can try and become their regular while they're learning there. I've had long-time professionals who are unable to comprehend giving butch/masculine haircuts to people like me. Here, when I asked for changes at the end, the student and the instructor spent the time to get it closer to what I wanted. They didn't care whether I was queer or not, they just wanted to teach and learn how to make a good cut.
