I just graduated from Lavish in their AP Esthetician program. I cannot stress the positive…read moreexperience I had. Kim, Katie and Amy were so very supportive and responsive to my needs throughout the journey. When I initially went into Lavish School, I was very disappointed and ready to give up. I found out that the education I received in another state wasn't going to be enough. Kim lifted me up with her positive attitude and made it seem possible. I walked back out of there with a much lighter heart and hope. I just passed my state boards and am beginning my job search and am very confident that the skills I was taught will carry me far in the beauty industry!!

We have had only positive experiences with the teachers at the school.Having an older child, I've had a few interactions with preschool faculty in Minneapolis. I've been more than pleased with the honesty that Michele has provided me in regards to my son's abilities and personality. It is a very good fit for our family. The environment is supportive of reaching one's full potential. There is also a reverence for imagination and childhood all while preparing kids for kindergarten.

You are taught very minimal things and are expected to preform services you barely know on real clients. Some of the services I wasn't even taught by an instructor and was still expected to preform them on clients. Another student signed her contract days before mine and somehow I was the only one in the class that ended up paying THOUSANDS more for the same education. When I confronted the school about it they questioned on how I even knew that in the first place and made up lots of excuses on how their policies just happened to change in those couple days. This school will suck every penny they can out of you, they make up hidden fees in your contract so that you end up owing the school a lot more money then just tuition when you've completed the course. READ THE CONTRACT VERY CAREFULLY. They are constantly changing their "policies" and the rules are different for each class. The class before me had a cheaper tuition and the class after me paid a lot more and they didn't even receive a kit like all the previous classes did. Me and multiple other students have reported them to the BBB because of how poorly and unfairly the administration treats their students. The reason they have such good reviews is because they hound the current and previous students to leave them a good rating. If this review can stop just one person going to school here I will sleep easy at night.

My personal interest as of late is The Author's Studio workshop, where a guest speaker comes in for an hour in an Actor's Studio on Bravo channel format. Today I saw a screenwriter who is a professor at MCTC. There's a new speaker every 2nd Sat. of the month from 10-11. It's very convenient from the Original Pancake House.

Paul helped me from day 1 where we didn't even use the gas pedal, just coasting, to my driver's license exam. I did pass on my first try! He gave tips and tricks that would help for the exam as well as driving in real life. He was firm/assertive when needed but I also felt safe and comfortable as a terrified driver. He made me step outside of my comfort zone. He loaned me his sunglasses when I couldn't see. Because of Paul's help, I am able to work jobs that involve driving. I can now drive giant diesel trucks and haul trailers for work. Yesterday I drove 420 miles in one day. While I will never be a carefree driver, I attribute my driving success to Paul and First Pass Driving. I am eternally grateful for his help.

There were numerous discrepancies between what was advertised and what was offered for the event. Music only Friday tickets were listed at 25 dollars, Saturday music only was listed at 40 dollars and the all-inclusive ticket was 125 dollars, clicking 'show more info' stated the all-inclusive ticket was foraging, camping and music. A mushroom only option was not offered for a different or equivalent cost to music only tickets. The extent of the mushroom part of this event was a total of 3 hours for 125 dollars (250 dollars for 2 tickets) plus the cost of dinner on Friday and Saturday evening. This calculates out to being 3 hours of mushroom related activity out of 40 hours of the total event. It was easily recognizable and apparent that the mushroom part of this event had taken a back seat to the party part of this event. The people who signed up for this event for the mushrooms in particular left empty handed. We were charged extra for very little. Without the guidance of Gentleman Foragers team, I harvested one lobster mushroom, three russula mushrooms and one artist's conk (inedible mushroom). I left the premises with only the artist's conk. Kempenich is now angry with me for leaving reviews, emailing him my full experience account, contacting outside sources and is refusing to refund only my ticket, although he is claiming he will refund my husband's ticket due to similar complaints and experiences.
