As a past student of the esthetician program at Golden Touch Academy, I can say my overall experience was a positive one. The program gave me a strong foundation in skincare and helped me build confidence in my abilities as I prepared to step into the beauty industry. The instructors were knowledgeable and brought real-world experience into the classroom, which made a difference when it came to understanding both the technical side of esthetics and client care. I appreciated the hands-on training because it allowed me to actually practice what I was learning instead of just focusing on theory. During my time there, I was able to grow not only in my skills but also in how I showed up professionally. That part of the experience really helped me feel more prepared moving forward. Overall, I'm grateful for what I learned at Golden Touch Academy and how it contributed to my journey in the beauty industry. It's a solid place to start if you're serious about becoming an esthetician and willing to put in the work read more

If you're considering this school for cosmetology, aesthetics, or barbering, please take this as a serious warning. This place is run by a woman who clearly doesn't care about their students' education. In my opinion, she's a con artist and a complete waste of time. She'll tell you everything you want to hear to get you to enroll, then proceed to waste your time and money. Let's start with the lies she will tell potential students. She will tell you that you will receive access to a "virtual learning platform." However, you'll quickly discover that there are no virtual courses offered and no online platform even exists. This is blatant fraud, and she's willingly committing it against the U.S. government by accepting funding and charging the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs for services that she does not offer. The only thing you'll get from this woman are some textbooks and you will basically have to teach yourself everything. There's virtually no instruction, and you won't learn anything of value. To make matters worse, the owner has absolutely no consistency with her schedule. She opens the doors whenever she feels like it and doesn't stick to any agreed-upon schedule. Again, it's a complete waste of your time and money and you will never obtain a license because they will do everything to prevent you from having any kind of success with this program. Also, let me also add that she and her daughter attended Paul Mitchell for their professional training, but are willing to cheat and scam other vulnerable students who are seeking a quality education. The owner and her daughter would have never attended the kind of sham scam school that they are running. If you're thinking about the "Aesthetics" program, run far, far away. Her daughter is supposedly the instructor, but she's not involved in the program at all and clearly doesn't care. She doesn't show up and provides no actual teaching. Again, the only thing that you will get from them are books and worthless worksheets, and practically no meaningful hands-on instruction. Please understand that you will never be able to obtain your license this way. Also, the owner will lie to you and tell you that she has a "director" and that there are other "instructors" at Golden Touch Academy and this is also a lie. The owner is the only one running this scam operation, which disguised as a "school". This is a complete scam, especially because the owner is accepting government funds under false pretenses. She's ripping off vulnerable students who are genuinely trying to improve their lives and obtain a cosmetology license. I will be reporting them to the U.S. Department of Education and the Texas Department of Licensing. read more
