If I could give this school ZERO star rating, I would. Under NO circumstances, should anybody attended this unprofessional, unsafe school. I attended their lash extension class this Monday, and the lack of education covered, blows my mind. I understand that you get what you pay for. However, I personally believe that even as a $200 class, students should be given enough knowledge to SAFELY execute lash extensions. The class DID NOT COVER the different types of curls, it DID NOT COVER the thickness or diameter of eyelash extensions, it DID NOT COVER how to remove or fill extensions, and we were NOT even given a physical example on how to isolate the natural lash before practicing on a live model. Matter of fact, when I asked her to physically show me how to apply lashes, she aggressively went at my model's eyes without sanitizing her hands, and tried to isolate an eyelash WITH HER FINGERS! Not only that, but Jackie the instructor was not even in the classroom with the students and their model for an extended period of time. I had to get up, leave my model and the classroom, to try to find the instructor because we were LEFT ALONE. We were given NO PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE when it comes to lash cleansers, primers, or removers, and were told of two lash glues. One of the glues which is used for lash tabbing (a semi permanent method and is about 9 dollars at Sally's) and a second glue that was claimed to be a good 50$ lash glue, but is 25$ on Ebay. Not only were we not given enough education, but we were given INCORRECT INFORMATION. Incorrect information that could potentially harm our models. We were given lash clusters (from walgreens, Sally's, or walmart) and were told to apply them with extension glue as a "volume" lash. These clusters are FAR too heavy for anybody's natural lash, and premade 3D, 4D, 5D etc volume extension fans are not the same thing. We were also given CHEAP extensions with a .20 diameter. After doing my research and talking to several certified lash artists, .20 diameter is almost always too thick for any natural eyelash and could BREAK the models natural lashes potentially PERMANENTLY damaging them. The worst part is that another student had accidentally GLUED HER MODEL'S EYE SHUT. She asked the instructor Jackie for help and the entire class watched Jackie examine the model's eyes. Jackie's response was then "her eyes sure are glued shut, good luck with that!" and then she proceeded to LEAVE THE ROOM without helping, again.
I have tried to contact her to ask for a refund, I offered to even give my certificate back. She is not negotiating, is telling the other students and I that I am lying, and has now THREATENED HER LAWYER on me.
If I were you, I would save your money for a better class that will give you a safe, reliable education.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me! I can give you some more information. :) read more
