I drove 3 hours to see an apartment ...she gave me the wrong number apartment, said she would find the keys to the right one (BTW she was not around in person at all) and have someone let me in to look, never got back to me, I returned home and she then emails me saying the apartment was taken...which I confirmed with 3 tenants that it was still available. After speaking with friendly people around town, it appears she has a quite the reputation for being confused, being difficult to deal with and overall being dishonest and misrepresentingherself. After having filled out the rental application and divulging my ss #, DOB, DL #, all personal information and now hearing nothing back I am VERY skeptical about this whole situation.

As a recent graduate of American Academy of Health and Beauty's 750 Hour - Full Time Day Massage…read moreTherapy Program, it has been an honor and a privilege to be taught and trained by Kerry Mannon, LMT. Kerry's hands-on style of teaching along with her ability to pivot and change her methods to cater to each students individual learning style is something you truly remarkable and noteworthy. She truly is a master of her craft and a gifted healer; her passion for teaching others shines every day. The respect that her former students have for her is a testament to what an amazing person she is inside and out, and how grateful each former student is for not only learning from her but for her continued advice and guidance in their careers. The respect that members of the Massage Community have for Kerry is also evident, as many therapists and businesses seek out students from AAHB that have been taught by Kerry. Kerry is not only a teacher, she is the kind of person who you know truly cares about you and truly cares about you, your career, your ups, downs and wins and losses. In my honest opinion Kerry Mannon, LMT is a National Treasure and I am forever grateful to have met her and been taught by her. I am also thankful and grateful to have been able to be taught by Amber Fraga, LMT, her extensive knowledge of Massage, Health, and Business is astounding and she's not afraid to break your comfort level and help you gain new skills and heal your body and soul, her Sports Therapy techniques are second to none and it's an honor that such a sought after Therapist is willing to teach and share her knowledge to the students of AAHB. She truly cares about each indivdual student and setting you up for success. I am further truly grateful to have been taught by Noelle Dinsmore, LMT, Noelle brings a fresh perspective to the Massage Therapy program, as a graduate of the school herself she truly knows what it takes to successfully navigate the program and have a successful career in Massage Therapy. Her positivity radiates and commands a room and her hands on and visual teaching style along with her real-world experiences is something that's hard to find. I feel that this program has fully prepared me for MBlex testing and for a successful career as a Licensed Massage Therapist. This program and this school and its staff has completely changed my life in the past 7 months. From the moment I contacted the school in October of 2025 and spoke with Zoe, she made me feel valued and that she cared about my time, answering all of my questions and scheduling me to come tour the school at a time that was convenient for me and addressing all of my concerns. I then met Awais,he gave an extremely informative tour of the facility and showed his kindness and compassion and his willingness to assist me with all of my questions, concerns as I navigated changing careers. This school (myself included) is extremely lucky to have such a kind, patient, and caring woman like Galina in thier financial office. I am so grateful for her assistance with everything from scholarships to payment plans to communicating with anyone I needed her to regarding my enrollment in the program. I also need to express my gratitude for Melissa Dinsmore, for her kindness, caring, compassion and business advice. I was able to mock interviews with Missy and her feedback and tips and tricks were exactly what I needed to boost my confidence and realize I was making the right choice changing careers.

While I'm writing this completely exhausted from another 8 hours of training on Saturday after a 60…read morehr work week, I'm also glad to have found this place, and a great set of thoughtful and knowledgeable instructors. I came across CDI based on their online reviews for some basic self-defense training, but ended up taking and signing up for more classes than I would've imagined, some just for fun, others because these are some very practical skills to know, from Womens self defense to stop the bleed and tactical medicine training. CDI offers quite a few practical scenario simulation training opportunities (aka turning around and having to deal with whatever scenario is presented in front of you), lots of hands on application, real world knowledge, plus a good dose of humor and a furry dog mascot. For someone completely new to this, the whole crew of instructors really look out for you to make sure you're safe, having fun, and learning. While the class can get intense at times, it's intense without the anxiety, with some pretty cool tricks you can learn. I mean... hey, I might not be great with a tourniquet yet, but let me lift those 5lb weights some more and I'll get those muscles to stop the bleed if there were ever a situation! And for those looking turn up the intensity in their training... I can tell the longer term students, particularly those in the practical self defense courses, definitely get more of that. I wouldn't have thought I'd be saying these classes are fun, but here we are... taking more classes for fun. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're thinking about learning some practical self-defense, and yup, we'll be back... tomorrow.

Everyone seemed at ease and the overall vibe was friendly and calm without any apparent tension.

The New England School Of Barbering provides top notch education to those looking to learn new…read moreskills. They have a hands on approach that prepares each student with skills that make the transition to going to work go smoothly. This is not one of those schools that keeps you locked up in the classroom forever. You don't need to do apprenticeships when you graduate to feel like you're finally ready to start working. You can hit the ground running by working in your career as a barber as soon as possible when you graduate. The education offered here made it possible for my husband to build a great clientele and start making a great living at a pretty young age after he discovered a traditional four year college education was not for him. He did so well, in fact, that he convinced me to become a barber also and I too went to NESOB. For the first time since I graduated college, I feel like I have valuable skills that get rewarded. I can live the dream of being self employed with a schedule I set myself. And I make more than I ever could muster with a four year degree in general biology. This school and the caring attention of its owners has improved my family's life and financial future and for that my husband and I will be forever deeply grateful. The owners, Mr. & Mrs. C push you to learn as much as you can while you are there, both about barbering and about work skills in general. They are tough teachers in the best way because they do their job out of caring and out of the desire that all of their students succeed and are as prepared as possible to start working. I have seen them give so much to their students, especially when those students really show the desire to learn and to succeed. If you are considering a career in barbering and have been looking for a great school, you have found it here.

They kept my ID for the duration of my range session and charged me the listed rate of $25 for a non-member, one lane-hour fee. Facility seemed well kept and modern. Ventilation worked well; I didn't notice any gunpowder residue clouds wafting around. It also seemed decently sound insulated. The guy a few lanes down shooting his binary trigger AR didn't bother me much.
