After 2 years of experience with this driving school, I can only say they are very disrespectful…read morecondescending and just plain rude. Not worth the money you have to pay. I surely wouldn't let my child be taught by the people in this company.

This is going to be a very descriptive review so hold on, haha. First, I do want to clarify that I…read moredid get my license and I didn't think I ever would without driver's training, however this particular company had a few concerns. My very first lesson was mostly parking lot practice and a bit around the block, but I don't feel like I had any "real" training. I opted for the Gold package. I didn't practice parking, straight line backing,lane positioning (I got marked on that on my driver's test) I didn't practice a lot of the things on the list of things the first lesson entails on the website. I requested a different driver after that lesson so I trained with David instead and he was great! He had me practice my weak areas many times until I got it down, he posted evaluations and comments after every lesson (first driver didn't do that) I was glad to have gone the route I did or I would've felt like I wasted $800. My behind the wheels test day finally arrived and the car I took my test in was not the same car I had practiced in every other lesson and we did not go over the check list in that car like we did every other time in the other car so I forgot where the Emergency break was. In the other car, it was a pedal. In this car,it was a button. So it was sort of frustrating that everything was switched up on me so quickly. We didn't do any freeway training, but that's okay. I felt we were behind because of the first lesson. I'll need to practice that on my own. On the website, for the Gold package, it says "This package includes everything covered in the Basic Teen Package, plus we will provide an hour and a half of training before the student's DMV exam, as well as our vehicle for taking the exam. We can also schedule the test for you. This package is ideal for those parents and students wanting to ensure they pass the driver examination. We've found that warming up with an instructor before the exam makes students confident and prepared which produces excellent results." When I initially read that, I was under the impression that I would be practicing with the DMV examiner before the test, I liked the idea of practicing with my examiner, however I did not. The wording on that was a bit misleading. Oh and on the days following the road test, I "practiced the road test" with my instructor several times but the rout I took was nothing like the road test. We went on a roundabout in which I only practiced once before,the morning of the test. I didn't understand the roundabout and I did not take the correct exit she told me to, so I went on a completely unfamiliar route and drove very slow and got marked for that lol I live in Paradise and I'm not used to Chico residential streets so I drove slow in case there was a hidden stop sign. I just feel like I got marked on a lot of stuff the school could've taught me. I did spend almost $1000 on it. Oh and also, on my third lesson, we were practicing in Chico and we came up on a stoplight that looked like the one in the picture. I started taking a left turn when my light was a green light and not a green arrow, which clearly states I must yield to oncoming traffic. I was told to go and almost got hit by a driver taking a right turn. That bothered me because I felt the instructor should have taken me on roads he was familiar with, because he didn't know that was a protected and unprotected stoplight. We all learned a valuable lesson that day on that light though. I take responsibility for that too, but I listened to him when he said go so I guess I got confused. ETA: I wanted to edit my review and add the phone operator was really sweet and she was definitely my favorite person I had the opportunity to interact with throughout this whole experience.

We all know that students at this school are there to learn and…read morebe supervised and are bound to make mistakes. This is understandable. I went to this beauty college 2x and there was NO supervision either times! The manager, just stands around, too lazy to supervise the students. To top this off, the student working on my nails was just about ready to go to stateboard and never had done a set of gel nails, but yet they offer them on there menu of services. She didn't know what she was doing. I don't even know how she could even pass at stateboard when she had no supervision and put nails on that came off a day later. Come on! Supervise and train your students and quit being so lazy. Never go to this beauty college. They suck BIG time!

First of all, I have NEVER been someone to complain or dramatize anything so please listen to what…read moreI have to say. I am a former student of this school. You will not receive a proper education. None of the staff here care about you or what they do. They will not help or supervise you and none of the staff have worked in a salon in the past 20 years. The staff sits behind the desk and plays on their cell phones. The owner of this school charges everyone different tuition's. Some girls were charged $15,000-$12,000 while others were charged $8,000; depending on what he can get out of you. The school is absolutely disgusting. It is dirty and they are unwilling to make it look nice because the money that you pay for the school is put toward the owner and his wife. They will never supply you with proper tools to work with. A few of the girls were not given a Freshman class and some girls weren't given complete kits to start school with. You are not allowed to practice hairdressing on your classmates, only your doll head. They will only give you a client if you are good at what you do, and if not you will never have a chance to practice. I have never met one student here that was happy going here. If you choose to go here you will have to teach yourself how to be a hairdresser by watching tutorials on YouTube and reading your book. I am really urging anyone who is thinking about coming to school here to go somewhere else. ANYWHERE else. It may be more expensive somewhere else but it is worth it to get a decent education and be respected as a person and student. XOXO
