    I felt they did a very a good job on my hair. They did everything that I asked for. They did a perm, cut, and shampooed my hair.

You're speaking to grown adults, please treat us like that. We are not children you can speak down to. SECONDLY! She kicked a student out after asking her a question that the student didn't agree with her on. This student didn't challenge her knowledge, didn't disrespect her, but she was confused with the answer she was given because after years of experience it contradicted what she's been told. So this student took the time to look up the information and so Melissa kicked her out of the demo. If you challenge this women she will disrupt the demo and kick you out. I've never met anyone in the professional industry with such a power trip. Awful , awful experience. I am appalled that this women would express her power in such an inappropriate way. Learn and do better, Melissa.

At first, they were going to set a chair out for me, but then the tone shifted. They started asking what I needed, and shortly after, told me they wouldn't be able to take me--despite it being over an hour before closing. I have very low hair, no longer than a #2 guard, so I was surprised they turned me away for something so simple. For a barber school, I was shocked there was only one student working and no sense of professionalism--especially from the instructor. I honestly feel sorry for that student. I even called ahead of time to avoid this exact situation, and I don't appreciate having my time wasted and leaving without a haircut. If you're looking for a better experience, I highly recommend the Mastery Academy off of Orange. They're half the price, have a full staff, and the environment is friendly and welcoming.

Not only did I feel like I had to cover my son's ears the whole time , but the students were also eating chips while cutting hair. I'm all for a fun learning environment but this place lacked any type of professionalism. You'll also be waiting for an extremely long time . Took 1.5 hrs to complete a simple kids haircut :( Came twice,but today will probably be my last visit here.

    I had one of the most unprofessional experiences of my life at this school -- specifically due to…read moreNancy Lopez. I scheduled an appointment to get my hair braided. I arranged childcare and missed work for this appointment. When I arrived, the front desk staff (not the person who booked me) realized there had been no communication about needing to wash and blow-dry my hair before braiding. I explained that Nancy had never informed me of this, and thankfully the front desk kindly honored the original quoted price. After my hair was washed and blow-dried by Christina, we were about to start braiding when Nancy stormed in and abruptly demanded that the service stop until I paid extra for the wash and blow dry. She was loud, rude, and dismissive -- even putting her hand in my face when I tried to explain the miscommunication. She told me not to speak because she was "talking to her student, not me." She then touched my hair and began making discriminatory comments about its length and thickness, saying that it would "cost more" but refusing to give me an exact price. Instead of resolving the issue, she escalated it, argued, and ultimately instructed the student to stop the service entirely. When I asked for her supervisor, she claimed she was the boss and the supervisor, blocking any accountability -- until I insisted and was finally able to speak to the actual administrator, who was kind and understanding. This unnecessary conflict wasted 25 minutes of my appointment, leaving the students pressed for time and forcing my service to be cut down to 2 braids instead of the 4 I had booked. I want to be clear: the students and instructors were professional, kind, and compassionate throughout this. The only problem was Nancy Lopez. Her behavior was unprofessional, hostile, and completely unacceptable in an educational or customer-facing environment. I will be reporting her to the board for her conduct. If you book services here, please know the students are talented and respectful, but the administration -- at least under Nancy Lopez -- is another story.

Matt and a few other instructors make it seem like its a burden to have to help students. A lot of the equipment is also old and broken and students are then blamed for it. I honestly did not feel like anyone at CIEMT wanted me to succeed. The entire experience felt like I was being hazed. Being yelled at and demeaned is not a bug but a feature of CIEMT. Do not attend this school if you want to have a good experience learning. I promise you that you will regret it. Do not be fooled by the low program cost.

I went to their website and registered for the June course, paid the $250 fee, and only then noticed I had been enrolled in the May session instead. I never even viewed the May option, and this all happened within two minutes. I immediately registered again this time correctly for the June course. Since it was late at night, I couldn't call right away, but I contacted the school the next day to explain the situation and request a refund for the mistaken May enrollment. The woman I spoke with was incredibly rude, dismissive, and repeatedly blamed me, refusing to even hear me out. She said it's my fault and that it's none refundable and that I singed it. She made it clear that they wouldn't help. So, I had no choice but to dispute the charge with my bank. Then today, I received an email saying I was being refunded for the June class the one I actually wanted and was told I'm no longer welcome at their school for making a false dispute which is not true. Meanwhile, three of my friends registered with me, and after hearing about this experience, they've decided to go elsewhere. So congratulations you kept $250, but lost four students. I will be exploring legal action due to your unprofessional conduct and the clear issues with your glitchy website. Future students, do yourself a favor and find a school that actually cares.
