I graduated from Annie's Beauty Academy (esthetics program) on December 9, 2025. It is difficult to…read moreexpress just how much I loved my experience at this school and my appreciation for Mrs. Anntoinette Bellamy and her dedicated and professional team of instructors. From my very first interaction with Miss Bellamy during my tour of the school, I felt immediately comfortable and welcome. She was upfront and honest regarding the school's culture which is one that is focused on respect, learning, solid work ethic, and team work among its students and staff. The school itself was neat, clean, and stylish. She is an extremely caring director and instructor and wants to help everyone succeed, but she also holds the students accountable to industry standards of skills, technique, and health and safety practices. The program is designed to not just get students to a passing grade on the State Board licensing exam, but to ace the exam with a 90% or higher and walk away having truly learned and retained knowledge that is critical to a successful career in the beauty industry. From an education standpoint, I have learned so much. I came in with no prior beauty experience and feel I was provided with so much opportunity to learn and practice the skills I will need for my career. You only need 300 hours to take the Board exam, but the program is 400 hours to ensure students get extra learning and clinical time. The esthetics program is about 3 months long, and in that small amount of time Annie's packs in as much learning as possible. There is a lot to accomplish within that time frame, but if you work hard and manage your time the way the instructors guide you, you can get it all done on time. Throughout the entire program, Miss Bellamy really drills you on infection control and cleanliness and stresses the importance of these topics both within the school and in future work environments. Even though it's 100% on the students to clean and disinfect all treatment rooms, work stations, classrooms, and reception areas within the school (literally it's Board-mandated), nearly every day I saw Miss Bellamy staying after school hours to walk through and make sure all cleaning duties were completed to Board standards. If cleaning wasn't up to par, we would have a class discussion on what we needed to do better. Needless to say, cleanliness and sanitation is a high-priority matter at Annie's! Annie's would not be the success that it is without the instructional leadership of Miss Bellamy who is backed by instructors Hannah Medellin, Megan Brillhart, Carrie Pena, and Frankie Byrd. Even with their experience and knowledge, the instructors are not above switching tactics if their teaching style is not working for a student. In my experience, there was a time when a teaching method or communication style was not resonating with myself or other students, and after sharing my feedback with Miss Bellamy, changes were made to better accommodate our needs. The door was always kept wide open for students to share any concerns they may have had, and they were always immediately addressed by Miss Bellamy and brought to resolution. This is a rare thing to see in any professional setting, and it speaks volumes to the character and integrity of the instructors of this school and their desire to prioritize their students. From a personal experience standpoint, it was bittersweet to finally graduate. I am excited and confident to begin my career with everything I have learned at Annie's, but I am so sad to not see my classmates and the instructors every day. For probably the first time in my life, I was excited to wake up every morning to go to school, put the work in, and work alongside my classmates. I developed close friendships and connections that I will carry with me long after Annie's of which I am so incredibly grateful. From my first meeting with Miss Bellamy, she shared that the school is based on Christian faith and values and this was very much a part of the school's culture. The faith aspect played a large role in creating a positive environment, and I believe it (for the most part) attracts students with similar values and beliefs that help foster this positive environment. This does not mean students are forced to pray or believe in a certain God or anything like that. Morning prayer and mindset was just focused on positive thinking, praying for the wellbeing of loved ones who were going through difficult times, trusting God's plan and whatever process that may entail, and showing up as kind and hard working individuals for ourselves and others. Thank you Annie's Beauty Academy for everything you have given me. Truly a life changing experience that I will forever be thankful for.

I'm writing this as someone who finished the esthetics program at this school -- You deserve the…read moretruth before you make a decision that affects your time, money, and sanity. This program has no structure. Schedules change constantly, rules shift, and students are scolded for not knowing the newest expectations. This came directly from Mrs. Bellamy, who acts as owner, director, and teacher. Your time will be wasted every single morning. We waited at least 30 minutes every day for Mrs. Bellamy so the day could start. Then we lost even more time to prayer and long conversations (that I was told in my tour were not mandatory but were) that often dragged an hour into our day. In a clock-hour program, that's unacceptable. And her mood set the tone for the entire class. I witnessed bullying -- from the person running the program. One student was singled out constantly, humiliated in front of others, denied hands-on opportunities, and held to expectations no one else had to meet. It wasn't "encouraging potential." It was mistreatment, plain and simple. There was also a clear difference in how students were treated based on racial background. It was obvious enough that I was not the only one who noticed. The learning environment was chaotic. Classes were crammed into one loud room with students of all levels. There was nowhere to study quietly, and nowhere to take tests without distraction. Sanitation was disturbing. Multiple times, students found blood on the bathroom toilet seats -- with no disinfectant in sight. Deep cleaning wasn't handled by staff. Students were blamed for messes even when the duties weren't legally ours. It was unsafe and unprofessional. Safety issues were ignored or blamed on students. Chemical burns, lifted skin, irritation -- several students experienced these while following instructions exactly as taught. Instead of reviewing the teaching or taking responsibility, the blame was pushed onto the students every time. Mistakes made by staff were also blamed on students. Wax pots set too hot, forgotten schedules, disorganized responsibilities -- somehow all turned into student errors. I watched classmates cry from being unfairly scolded. I had my own experience as well. Mrs. Bellamy applied soft wax to the same patch of my skin three times -- something she repeatedly taught us never to do. When I questioned it, she dismissed me with, "I'm a professional. I can do this but you can't." My skin hurt for days, and she treated me differently for weeks afterward. The biggest contradiction of all was her preaching versus her behavior. Daily prayer and talk of kindness and Christian values, followed by actions that were dismissive, unprofessional, and often hurtful. It was exhausting to witness. I'm writing this honest review because I wish I would've had an honest review like this to consider when I was touring this school. As students, we are pressured to write our reviews of the school in the first week of school, before any of this came to light. I can now write this review without the fear of retaliation, as I am now graduated. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone -- not someone I care about, not a stranger, not anyone. No one deserves to learn in an environment that's disorganized, unsafe, or emotionally damaging. If you're touring, take this seriously. You deserve a school that actually teaches, supports, and respects you. Respectfully, A former student telling you the truth I wish someone had told me. -Alaina N.
