More recently, I've become aware of the partnership between Meeting House and The Lady Bug Project. I'm so proud to have an association with such an amazing program. Keep up the great work and please continue to share all the amazing things you do.

At Meetinghouse he was included and celebrated and came home everyday full of stories about friends and things he'd learned. He loved his teachers and we want to highlight Ms. Maciolek and Ms. Snow in the young children classroom for their dedication and incredible care. They are so good at what they do. They brought calm and thoughtfulness. Our child talked about them with respect and about what they taught him. Mrs. Lancaster and Ms. Abby instantly connected with our child and made him feel part of a great culture. And Mrs. Smith is outstanding in how she runs the school and the tone she sets. We couldn't be happier and feel so proud how how our child learned to be part of a great group. Thank you!!!

I just had my first cut here as a late in the day walk in. There were several barbers and perhaps…read morestudents cutting. Everyone seemed at ease and the overall vibe was friendly and calm without any apparent tension. A student cut my hair and was well supported by the managing woman who did the finer work, modeling kindness in her instruction and coaching. Another barber shaved my neck and around my ears. She was also friendly and at ease. I will go again.

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.

Wonderful school! Our son has been attending Bedford Academy since the first grade and will be back…read moreagain this fall for fourth grade. The small class sizes have allowed him to flourish both socially and academically. The curricula, projects, and STEAM programming have kept him engaged and enthusiastic to go to school.

TERRIBLE school. They are not inclusive and lack support…read moreand adequate staff to ensure all children's needs are met. I'm a Bedford mom this review is from both personal experience and word around town- a lot of people talk about how much poorly run this "school" is. This reputation certainly explains their low rating of 3.4. Please, do yourself a favor and steer clear.

I had previously had good experiences at hair schools, including Empire, so I booked a foil root…read moretouch-up to match the little bit of blonde I have in my dark hair, a deep conditioning treatment, and a haircut for 9:30. Unfortunately, this visit was extremely disappointing. After more than 5 hours, the foiling process still wasn't complete. While I understood my student was learning, there appeared to be very little instructor guidance. When I expressed concerns about the length of the appointment the instructor was dismissive and simply offered to rinse out the bleach and let me leave. I remained there beyond 6 hours and past closing. I was the last customer there. My toner was processed for only a few minutes, and my conditioning treatment and haircut were not completed. The instructor approved the work, and I was sent to pay with soaking wet hair. When I questioned why the remaining services couldn't be completed and voiced my unhappiness, the instructor was quick to threaten to call the police if I did not pay. The school's Director informed me I was not welcome back and stated that customers should expect appointments to last 7.5+ hours. The final result left me with uneven, yellow hair that did not resemble what we discussed. My roots were not properly blended, and I now need to spend over $300 to correct the color. Empire Beauty School demonstrated poor instructor oversight, poor communication, and a lack any sense of accountability.

I would not recommend going to Empire school as they like to support there employees who do drugs…read moreand also employees who drunk call students after school hours. While the staff does not act professional and still work, but they will kick students out of the school for not punching in and out of lunch accidentally. Empire said it is there policy and they are trying to get the students ready for the real world. Something is very backwards. I am told they are just accusations when students have seen the proof. Empire doesn't even investigate the employees. They sit there and just say it is accusations.
