I heard about Christina through a close friend and had an AMAZING experience with her!…read more She came to my house for a wedding makeup consultation and made me feel so comfortable with the entire process. I usually am unhappy when people touch my face but she was gentle and had so much patience with me. She exudes a positive attitude and is so easy-going! The makeup she used made me feel amazing-it didn't look cakey and I felt so comfortable wearing it throughout the day. On the day of my wedding she was on-time and got right to work. She knew exactly which makeup she was going to use on me since she made note of it at my consultation. The session was quicker and she made sure that the photographer took pictures of me in the room so that I knew how the makeup would look in the photos. Christina went above and beyond for me-I would highly recommend her to all of my friends!!

Current student going through the program and may change rating based on ongoing experience…read more I started the program about 2-3 weeks ago, mainly because they recently began offering weekend classes, which worked well for me since I have a demanding full-time job. So far, unfortunately, my experience has not been great. I'm not sure if it's because the hybrid/online model is still new for them, but it really feels like they don't have the process fully organized yet. Most of the issues come down to lack of communication and unclear expectations for online students. Once I paid my deposit, I wasn't really guided through the next steps. I was briefly shown the portal we use for coursework (CIMA) and told to download WhatsApp because that's how we communicate with instructors. Beyond that, I pretty much had to figure things out on my own. I even had to personally ask questions in the group chat because I was confused, and it turned out several other students felt the same way. Eventually we found out there's an orientation every Monday, but nobody clearly explained that upfront. The virtual learning environment has also been frustrating. During online sessions, chats are muted and virtual students can't really ask questions because the instructors are focused on the in-person class. That honestly makes no sense to me considering online students are paying the same tuition as in-person students. It feels like the virtual students are an afterthought. Even submitting homework has been confusing. We use Dropbox, but I was basically just told to "download Dropbox" and had to dig through old chat messages to find the actual submission links and instructions. At this point, I honestly feel unclear every step of the way. I spend more time trying to figure out logistics, apps, links, and expectations than actually focusing on learning. The frustrating part is that these seem like very simple organizational issues that could easily be improved with clearer communication and better onboarding for online students. I'm still early in the program, so I hope things improve over time, and I'm open to updating my review if my experience changes.

I was super excited when I found out that they have Toni & Guy in bay area. But my excitement fizzled out after couple of visits. My hair color came out okay, not perfect as they did in other Toni & Guy salons! There might be teaching/demo to students going on while you are getting your hair done from a specialist and this may add additional time as well as you feel like you are a demo customer instead of an actual customer. Also they do not care about your time. If I am paying Toni & Guy prices then I am expecting a seamless customer experience like what they have in SoCal and TX.

I am a recent graduate of the Barber program. I came in with zero experience in cutting hair, and…read moretoday I feel fairly confident in my skills. I truly believe that you get out what you're willing to put in--if you show up with the mindset to learn, you will learn. I've built great relationships with the instructors and my fellow classmates, and I've made wonderful friends. Some students come in with experience, and others--like me--start with none. But one thing we all have in common is that everyone is supportive and willing to help each other grow and develop their skills. I'd like to thank Ms. Mai, Ms. Tu, Ms. Thu, and especially Mr. Bobby (Thầy Phát) for his volunteer time, dedication, and genuine effort in giving back and wholeheartedly teaching students the skills they need in the program. All of the instructors truly want their students to master their craft and succeed in the field.

After receiving my CNA license here, I was able to get a job at a large hospital in the Silicon Valley as a PCT in the same year. I later became an ED tech for the same organization. I continued my education / prerequisites for nursing school while working as a tech and later got accepted into a nursing school in San Jose. This allowed me to work while in Nursing school, and complete the program. My experience was great at this school. Yes, you had to study a bit on your own. And yes, some things may have been outdated, but this school allowed me to get certified while I continued to work my 8-5. It ultimately helped me kickstart my nursing career. My path to becoming a nurse would have been significantly different if this program was not available to me. Other programs took way too long or did not fit with my work schedule. Thank you South Bay School of Nursing!

Originally I wasn't going to post a review, but I feel as I should since my experience wasn't the…read morebest. This school is very unorganized. The head administrator is a retired LVN, and her husband also works as part of administration. There are no online portals or true credentials you get as a student. The only file you have is a manila folder with the proper school forms and whatnot. During my short time there, the head administrator never knew where she placed our files, or was forgetful and always had trouble remembering or doing something. Asking for help from her was almost pointless because she most likely didn't know the answer. Yet, she is quick to collect money and almost always reminds her students to pay on time. Although this school is more affordable compared to other CNA programs in the Bay Area, you do get a sense that they are money hungry for their business. For instance, I paid a certain amount for tuition, but when overhearing admin talk on the phone to a possible student, she told them it was $200 more than what the current class is paying. Not sure how they determine their prices, but this is why it is important for students to do their research. Getting a refund was almost hard too. To be honest I don't think I was refunded the proper amount, but hey I guess they need the money more than I do. Due to Covid, classes were still held in person but the student average was about 12 students. Luckily, there was another LVN who is an instructor for the course. Instructor Akua is super friendly, passionate about his work, and is a great teacher. This rating is more for him, since he actually teaches and takes over majority of the time. I learned a lot from him during my 2 weeks there, and he was even sad to see me leave. If anything I wish admin would treat him better too. He was promised a laptop for his lectures but still hasn't received one. He is hardworking and practically has no days off since he teaches the weekend and some evening classes too. This school is what you make of it, so as long as you pay attention and read the material, you have high chances of passing. And to everyone who was in that same class with me.... lol, best of luck to yall.
