In response to the owner, Carolyn - who I have never personally met, I would like to acknowledge…read morethat I openly shared my personal experience in my review, so to call it 'misinformation' sheds light on her as an owner. It is clear to me now how in the dark she is, because I have had a one-on-one sit down with my Phase I instructor, I have had a group sit down with my Phase I instructor, and I also had a personal sit down with the Director of the school herself. I expressed my concerns many times over, sadly the owner lacks communication with her faculty and staff. I hope the school seeks to improve their reports so that in the future, Carolyn may have a productive discussion with the next unhappy student. Carolyn claims to 'take great pride in providing students with the best training possible for them to ace their state exams and obtain their license' yet their pride was nowhere to be found when my LEFT handed shears, which were specifically ordered for me, were there one day, and gone the next. Not only was I missing promised implements personally, but my whole class, and the class before us, were missing the cases to our Chi sponsored Phase II kits. These materials are very much indeed in your and the school's control. I am all for structure and abiding by a dress code, but if it is truly there to protect me, why was I put in a position to buy a pair of socks, or go home? I knew missing a day meant missing hours, but I would much rather give up 5 hours than $5. I knew where my hours went, but I could not say the same about my money. I understand the Director's intentions were to monitor students' dress code, but to press on students like a warden presses on prisoners is completely out of line.

Not enough teachers available for programs. The school esthetician tuition itself is an estimate of around 10,125.00. The process i was given when signing up is they require a $287 deposit up front paid to the school, $85 for a required mannequin head they said i would use on my first day which they provided which i didnt use, $15 for photo ID i never received, $25 for TDR, plus a $400/ monthly payment. Now come Monday, my first day of school, I was advised to arrive early in uniform with my $85 for the mannequin head that I would be using that day. I was then introduced to the current teacher for that day Ms. Zamora. As this is my first day of class, they have had Spanish students translate things the teachers were not able to fluently speak. Although that wasn't a huge problem the first day, it then became an everyday problem. I was given my books that Monday, my first day of class and they were already in the middle of a chapter which was Makeup Chapter 12. I was under the impression I came in, all the "new" class students start with each other on chapter 1 like any other school, instead they have you pick up where they left off which was chapter 12 for me. Not professional at all! We went through 3-4 pages of the basic makeup for the first part of theory. When it came time for practicals, they brought in Ms. Sol, who does not speak fluent English at all, instead had another student translate everything she said. During practicals we are supposed to be doing what we learned in class that day hands on. Instead, we sat and watched youtube videos on make-up instead of Ms Sol showing us physically as it states in the program. Some students were in and out of the class working on other things because some of the students are in phase 2 and 3 opposed to me just starting. I started in phase 1. So everything was unorganized, they had me watching youtube on make-up, some girls doing makeup on themselves, some doing waxing on others, all in the same room as well as some walking in and out of the theory room vs the actual service room. I have never been so lost on my first day of school and I am an adult. So on my first day I did nothing but highlight 3-4 pages in a book and watch youtube videos. My 3rd day of class I came in a bit disappointed and had been questioning everyone when the new teacher arrived. 20 minutes into class we still had NO theory teacher, but Ms. Sol came in to advise us to just work on what we wanted until practical's started as we didn't have a teacher at the moment. At this point 45 min into class, she then pulled me and another student out of class to go do my Orientation in another room. Why am I having my Orientation 3 days after starting school? I am not sure why. So, Ms. Sol had the other student pretty much skim over everything I needed to know and what to expect moving forward. Now as I was going through the details, I was advised that although the program lists a lot of things, I will NOT be learning half of it. The ENTIRE first week i had NO TEACHER! Come my 4th day of class that Thursday I had made up my mind if there was no teacher or explanation on what was really going on I was going to drop the school. I get to class Thursday of course I have no teacher, and it is the same routine. Students come in and we either read the book or watch YouTube. Or the students may go directly into practical's. After I realized what was going on I made it a priority that Friday to get off work early and head to the school to resign. This has been a horrible experience. Instead, they are only concerned about the funds being paid. Not once did the director Mrs. Jaimes apologize, try to offer a discount for the inconvenience of the first week or anything. I was only offered to come back the following week to see "if" they will have a teacher available and if not, I could still drop. At this point, I have lost money enrolling in school here, ordering uniforms and scrubs along with shoes for the dress code, driving across town 35min every day in traffic, on top of them not advising there was no teacher for the night classes. I offered to return ALL supplies given to me as they have not been used or opened to this day, she looked me in my eyes and told me they were not able to accept it, as I am sure it was because they wanted to keep the money like they have done previously per the yelp reviews. I understand if the school was organized, detailed oriented, on one accord, and had a set schedule for the days for when certain chapters are worked for certain phases as students come in, and have available teachers instead EVERYTHING was disorganized, dysfunctional, and very unprofessional with NO TEACHERS!

I tutored with the Gold Academy for physics and calculus at the end of my senior year of high…read moreschool in order to prepare myself for my first semester of engineering at Texas A&M University. Not only was I prepared enough to feel comfortable and excel in the coursework my 1st semester but Michael introduced me to thinking about problems as a whole and inductively (a thought process which has helped in every form of learning). To this day, 7 years later, I still use this method to help me solve problems and learn, in work and in life, more effectively. I highly recommend the Gold Academy to anyone looking to not only improve their grades but also to improve their ability to problem-solve and appreciate learning. Also, Michael Gold is an awesome trainer. His workouts are designed to improve all elements of fitness: coordination, strength, stamina, mobility, just to name a few. Back in college I did a year of Crossfit and later on went through weight lifting programs with trainers at my gym. Michael has definitely been #1 when it came to proper form and joint/ligament strengthening. I trained with Michael for about 7 months and I saw huge improvements in my endurance and fitness. I felt better overall and even had some surprising benefits. I now effortlessly make baskets when throwing paper into my garbage bin, whereas, before working with Michael, I would always miss. And I am now much more aware of my enviroment, which especially helps when driving. He is big on safety and makes sure he trains to match people's fitness levels whatever they may be. I would definitely recommend him to anyone trying to improve their fitness and wellbeing in whatever capacity. Thanks Michael! =)

Where do I even begin? I would say Patti is worth every penny but quite honestly I think her…read morepresence at our daughter's birth was priceless. Not only does she bring 30 years of quality experience, she shows up with the most incredible aura. Calm, confident, and steady. Throughout the pregnancy, she was checking in on us regularly and provided guidance on how to manage the last few weeks of pregnancy. The pre-labor massage seemed to reduce the time I was in early labor and she took diligent time to talk through our birth plan so that we felt equipped for the big day. When the big day arrived, she arrived at the hospital quickly after we alerted her. She coached us on proper positioning and was the necessary resource during the chaos of childbirth. I had a tight pelvis and back labor and she was able to provide insight and direction on what decisions might be best for our specific case. Patti sees the whole picture of childbirth and was able to help my baby come out smoothly and without complications. I truly believe I would have had to have a c-section without her there. My husband and I call it is a p-section (P for Patti). I thought having her at the birth was essential but even more so was she essential postpartum. She spent many hours putting my body back together, working on our baby girl, teaching us massage techniques and breast feeding tips. Our baby had a bad crick in her neck and would roll over to her side at night which made us worried. After Patti released her tense body, she has been sleeping so much better and is able to keep her neck straight. I hope Patti is around for all my future babies births because I can't imagine doing it without her! She is the Mother Theresa of childbirth and has given her life in the service of mamas and babies. She has the most important job in the world and she does it so well.
