My only issue is not having the materials needed to "keep us busy". There are parts in the book we should do practically to help prepare us for this growing beauty industry but the school doesn't provide us with enough materials so the whole class can participate. With that being stated our teachers are constantly being removed from class to talk to administrators about "why the class isn't working". Most of the time we are either watching others cut, read our books, or do nothing at all and talk about things not relevant to school. As a Barber student, it's difficult to practice your blade theory without enough clients walking into the school. One thing we learn about is going outside to look (fish) for clients around the school, which helps us down the road when we start working in a booth renting shop. The schools famous quote is "the school isn't to teach you how to cut, they just need you to pass state board exams". Which in reality isn't enough when you're paying this high tuition, and you want to take this career seriously. Due to the fact that the school is so lenient that when they try to put rules the rules are forever changing daily causing chaos for administrators, teachers, and students.

I will leave them unnamed as I am not here to promote any businesses. But I do want the reader to have a clear understanding of my depth of knowledge in the field. My background is one of the most diverse in the barbering industry. This type of experience provided me with a deep understanding of traditional, urban & military barbering. You can google me to see I am real. Avara's is the finest barber academy I have ever been in. The most diverse. The most intelligent. The most dedicated. The most passionate. The most open mined. I know this is a bit repetitive but I want my review to be very clear. Avara's is one of the most deeply rooted barbering institutions in the nation. I couldn't do their history any justice unless I wrote a book on it. You have to check out their website....nope that won't work. The brief bio on the academy is like reading two sentences of Moby Dick. I am honored I was able to conduct a seminar at Avara's on 4-28-14. The Avara family is what everything barbering should be. The Avara family is everyone who walks in that door. Owner, educator, student, customer, panhandler, door to door salesmen. That is what Simon Avara lived and breathed and barbered. Avara's is... The most progressive thinking I have ever seen by ANY barbers, let alone a whole staff. The most progressive teaching I have ever seen and more important, the most inspired teachers I have ever seen. The most diverse place I have ever seen. Male, female, all races, all sexual orientations, all religions, you name it.... it's all here. Larry Avara, Simon's son, and his team are to me everything barbering ever was, is, or one day will be. -Give the best service possible & care about people. Simple man. Avara's is an American barbering treasure. Aloha Mack

    I got my makeup artist license from the Chesapeake School of Makeup Artistry in Annapolis back in…read more2001 or 2002. Since then it has moved (to Arnold) and expanded to become the Chesapeake School of Esthetics. The program was excellent and in fact I moved from Minnesota to Maryland to get my makeup artist license from CSMA. At the time the school was a one woman operation, with Betty J Wilder acting as admissions office and instructor. According to the website there is now at least one other staff member onboard. I attended the 40 Hour Makeup Demonstrators Program. We met once or twice a week and the program was completed in about two months. We learned about color theory, face types, skin undertones, makeup applications, and good sanitation practices. I also took a one day followup seminar on photography makeup. Betty is an invaluable resource when it comes to knowing about people, trends, and companies in the beauty business. She is kind, friendly, approachable and absolutely hilarious!! She also introduced me to Paula Begoun's books and debunked many skincare myths (see my review of Paula's Choice skincare: http://www.yelp.com/biz/paulas-choice-renton-2#hrid:TB6hGsxic3s0_7YlZANAug/src:self). My class was maybe ten people at the most, which ensured every student got as much attention and information as they needed. Students ranged from people just interested in cosmetics to people already working as makeup artists. The final exam involved a written test and makeup application demonstration. Though the makeup artist license is not a full cosmetology or aesthetician license, I learned alot, it helped me get a job with two cosmetic lines, and I still get a discount at Sally's Beauty Supply! I highly recommend this program for someone solely interested in makeup, and not hair, nails, waxing, or skincare. Just be aware of the limitations of the license, as many salons will probably prefer someone with a full license. This program currently costs $980. I can't say much about the 600 Hour Skin Care and Makeup Artistry Program as Betty was just getting the esthetics program started when I was at CSMA. According to the website, the program runs for twenty weeks, enrollment is limited to eight students, and the course includes lecture/theory and hands on labs. Topics covered include: Facial and Body Treatments, Facial Massage, Skin Analysis, Hair Removal, Makeup Application, Skin Care Equipment , Color Analysis, and Retails Skills. The cost is $8,750. There are not many schools or programs like this in the country (believe me, I looked at almost all the possibilities) so if this is your specific area of interest, I highly recommend the Chesapeake School of Esthetics. See the website for more details: http://www.education-csma.com.

Betty is extremely knowledgeable and an all around great person to work with. The curriculum is great and I felt 100% prepared to take my state boards with confidence. When I was attending, Betty had a 100% pass rate for the state board testing, which is a statistic that shows how much she puts into her school. After I graduated, I passed my state boards and proceeded on to work in a spa for about 2 years. I just recently ended up being offered my dream job in the cosmetics industry and I have to thank Betty because without this amazing school I would not be where I am today.

This was hands-down one of the best skincare experiences I've had, and I can't wait to come back. This school is really bringing talent to the industry!

    My recent experience as a client at your cosmetology school was unfortunately disappointing,…read moreprimarily due to a lack of professionalism and customer service from one of your students and the front desk staff. As a former cosmetology student myself, I understand the importance of both technical skill and client interaction. During my appointment, the student assigned to me seemed to be having a difficult day. She initially called out the wrong name, mistaking me for my goddaughter who I had previously brought in for services. When this was corrected, it became clear my service was not properly listed under my name. The student then appeared confused when I stated I was there for a color service. When I suggested she double-check with the front desk, she abruptly walked away, stating, "I don't want to do her hair. I want someone else." This was unprofessional and frankly, quite shocking. What was equally concerning was the response from the front desk when I attempted to address the situation. Instead of listening to my legitimate concerns, I was met with a closed mind and told I was "being disrespectful." I was surprised and offended by this dismissal, as I was simply trying to explain the situation calmly and respectfully. As a client, and someone who understands the industry, I would never intentionally be disrespectful. It felt as though my experience was being minimized and my character questioned without a fair hearing. I believe instructors are aware of which students may have difficulties, and it's crucial for the school to foster an environment where professionalism and respectful communication are consistently upheld by both students and staff. A truly professional front desk would have de-escalated the situation and shown a willingness to understand the client's perspective, rather than immediately placing blame. The student went to the area where the other students were to gossip about it and try to gain consensus. While I appreciate the learning environment a cosmetology school provides, this incident highlights a significant gap in the application of crucial customer service and professional conduct. I hope this feedback can be used constructively to improve future client experiences. Building a Clientele (Even as a Student): Even in school, you'll be working on real people. If you provide excellent service, those clients are more likely to return, recommend you to others, and potentially become your future clients once you graduate and are fully licensed. Reputation: Your reputation starts forming the moment you begin working with clients. A good reputation for customer service will follow you throughout your career. Conversely, a reputation for being dishonest or having a poor personality can be very difficult to overcome. Being Nice and providing Grace goes a long way. I have to add that I posted sn amazing review in the past this year and Ms. Shelly was Amazing. She still is Amazing giving the magnitude of work she does and her school responsibilities. I had to memorialize my opinion for lessons learned purposes.
