  • "The small downsides are that your locker will not fit all your stuff, and everyone in your class has their lockers in the same general area as your own making it a longer process to grab and put things away."

Education and Curriculum

Pros:

  • "Having smaller classes and getting one on one time with the teachers makes such a difference."

  • "They give us lots of review to make sure that we know everything and are very well prepared for the state board exam."
  • "Arrojo taught me more than just how to get my license, but how to be a successful hairstylist."
  • "The techniques we learn are above and beyond the standard as well as the confidence we are given to go out and create is beyond amazing!"

Cons:

  • "I may be employable, but I'm going to have to put in so much work to catch myself up on the skills they didn't bother to teach me."
  • "They don’t have every day plan, most of the time you just need to stand and pretend you are doing something."
  • "Academic wise, the school has provided me a decent foundation of haircutting and coloring skills, BUT only in white/European methods ONLY."
  • "During the 7month learning they only teach us for hair in theory and practice... no practice at all no even one single day in practice same think in makeup."
  • "They charge me $20k for cosmetology classes which includes Hair, Nails & makeup... you only going to learn doing hair."
