Let me start by saying that I deeply regret deciding to take the chance to enroll at this barber school. When I went to orientation they gave me the impression that this was a really professional school, with a focus on teaching techniques and best practices for cutting hair. What I didn't know is that I would be paying $20,000 to learn from YouTube videos completely on my own. Yes, you read that right, the instructors are completely incompetent, disengaged and are teaching using YouTube videos that they never explain. We are learning on our own and teaching each other, and we receive no instruction from the instructors themselves, who are getting paid to do the job.
The school mainly focuses on enrolling new students who each pay $20,000 but the school never checks in with the students to see how are they doing or if they need any help. It bothers me that everything about this school is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. A few of the students want to take legal action against the school because of that and it's completely understandable and warranted.
The school doesn't care about the students or delivering a quality curriculum that can properly prepare the students to become barbers, all the school cares about is collecting money. It's infuriating that some people are driving long distances for such poor education. You can't even consider this a school. Students are afraid to speak up and voice their concerns to the instructors and administration because they are taught by the instructors to fear them, yet these are paying students and the reason the instructors and administration have jobs.
DO NOT ENROLL IN THIS SCHOOL. I cannot emphasize enough that education is lacking and they ONLY care about how much money they can get out of you. The instructors have absolutely no idea of what they're doing and don't have a clue how to teach; they are there for the money and not for the love of teaching. They don't even care about earning what they're getting paid. All they do is read PowerPoint slides for hours on end and they're boring at that, not engaging at all. We're also forced to watch old videos on how to cut hair with outdated techniques that don't cover the full spectrum of different hair types or modern styles.
The instructor we have does not want to be here, he has let people know that he doesn't like us and that money is his only passion and why he shows up, he does not care in the least about teaching or helping the students. I hope that #KenBoyle sees this review and asks his administrative team what it is they are doing to become one of the best barber schools in the area, because that's what they claim during orientation, and I along with many other students can guarantee you it is the absolute worst. I wish there was a #PaulMitchell school in the area and hope they see there is a desperate need for a decent school that can actually prepare students to pass the licensing exam and become competent barbers.
This place needs to be shut down. It's a complete disgrace and highway robbery. Stay away! You will 100000% regret choosing to give this place your money. read more
