Recently moved to this area and decided to do a search for a beauty school as I was in desperate…read moreneed of a trim, but not wanting to shell out $35 for it. I called, and was quoted $11. I happily came over and was greeted by a really kind lady at the front desk that I believe was one of the instructors. She asked what I was looking to get done, and had me sign in had me pay. She said because the hair was over shoulder length they charge a length fee of an additional $10. Which honestly, that is a very reasonable policy, and $21 is still cheaper than any hair salon ice been to. After a couple minutes handed me over to a student named Patricia. Patricia did a great job and was quick and skilled in her art. She offered a shampoo or for it to dry after as they spray it generously to cut, but I opted for neither as I was on my way home from work and planning to shower once I got home anyway. Definitely will be returning when I want something done with my hair as prices are reasonable, and the people seem friendly.

Now I see why businesses need to "buy" 5-star reviews About…read morea week ago I called and asked if they did braids, even asked it they provided hair. I was informed that they did but I'd need to come in for a quote/consultation. I went there this past Monday and waited at front desk for 5 mins or so. I decided to ask the person working 10 feet from me if there was anyone taking care of the desk. A woman a few stations down said that she'd be there in a few. When she finally got to me I asked for the price for braids. Was informed that they didn't do braids. I pointed to their price board that had a price for braids, was told that they only did short braids no extensions. If they are teaching students how to waste a (potential) client's time, this is the place to go.

excellent help for everybody, accepts students from different background. very welcoming. Thank youread more

1. The website information and the verbal communication in class don't coincide. services listed,…read morearen't actually provided by the school: Tuition $950.00, CPR $ 50.00, PPD $20.00, Liability Insurance $35.00 is included in the tuition (no need to pay separately) Application Fee $25.00 Registration Fee $25.00 (note: the school no longer teaches CPR nor does the school give vaccinations, CMT is no longer taught, First Aid is no longer taught) GNA $105.00 for the exam after you complete the CNA course but students still have to wait for access, it isn't immediate. So, be sure to get your CPR and PPD prior to enrollment, there is no need to pay the school separately for CPR & PPD) 2. The equipment is outdated, partially operable, or broken. Examples: the beds don't move up/down properly, the height of the beds aren't operable which requires students to constantly bend-strain their backs, supplies are piled in the corner, filled with crust and dust. 3. The hallway near the restrooms wreak of sewage smell. 4. The floors aren't cleaned properly and are outdated. 5. The trash cans aren't equipped with automated features (you have to touch the lids) 6. The sink faucets aren't automated. 7. The soap dispenser isn't automated. 8. Paper towels aren't automated. 9. Students aren't provided with enough details on where to go for background checks, passport photos; if you aren't familiar with the area or process, one has to take time to research on their own as opposed to the school having a list of companies documented nearby that can accommodate students to help meet the enrollment requirements. 10. If your primary language isn't English, you are required to enroll in English courses prior to enrolling for CNA classes at this school; some could view this as a form of discrimination. 11. If you are an IEP young adult or adult, additional measures aren't provided to ensure you fully understand the course. (this could also be viewed as a form of discrimination) 12. 19 days actually isn't a feasible timeframe to learn this course, mainly because there truly isn't enough time to practice hands on skills as a group or individually, there are 2 exams a week, students aren't provided enough time to focus on skills, more time is focused on passing exams rather than skill time. 13. The nursing book used by Cengage needs to be reviewed as well by MBON because a lot of information/steps have been updated. In addition, not all medical facilities operate in the same manner. Example: Clinical Nursing Assistants can't or don't take orders from physicians, this isn't true, some medical centers/facilities actually have assigned CNA/Clinical Assistants (RN's are on site as well but they also have their own loads such as doing in baskets, vaccinations) Example: some facilities have gowns and drapes made out of plastic (you can't actually see the plastic but it's a combination of other materials) Example: not every facility uses transfer belts due to updated technology 14. Uniforms: come to class in white scrubs, wear black or white shoes (can purchase from school) parking spaces are limited and a tight fit. 15. Cameras have been installed; the students/the school is recorded 24/7, assuming to prevent cheating. 16. The website advertises weekend and evening classes; the school no longer has weekend and evening classes. 17. The classroom desks aren't suitable for full grown adults. 18. The skills exam appears to be rushed and a distraction 1. It's timed but you aren't told how much time you have to complete the skills exam so it causes a student to rush through the process and forget steps, then students are failed and are told "you aren't ready to enter the field" 2. More than one student is in the room hearing various instructions which can be confusing and distracting and surely in the real world, this doesn't happen. 19. Rodent droppings have been noticed in the school. 20. Once a week, a toddler (assumably a relative comes to the school) and remains on site for the day. One day the toddler was napping in the lab bed which caused the class not to be able to practice their skills to avoid disturbing the toddler's nap time. 21. Purchase your own Cengage textbook from Amazon, the books at the school are rentals only and not for purchase as indicated on the website (if you rent a book, you are not able to write or highlight in the book) the rental fee is $5.00 per day totaling $65.00, if you return the textbook early, nothing is applied to your account. 22. If you don't follow directions or verbal instructions EXACTLY as it's mentioned, you will receive failing grades; it's their way or no way. The school is completely outdated and refuses to listen to reason as if there isn't any other way to get things done; technology and medical information has been updated over the years and the staff should absolutely visit other facilities and schools to see how things are being done.

Pretty easy course. As long as you read the book they give you and pay enough attention in class…read moreyou should pass every exam. The CPR class was also good. The clinicals were challenging at first but the more you understand routine and practice the easier it gets. I was able to build amazing connections through this course fr the teacher as well.

This School is by far the best in the area. 1. Its fast…read morepaced , so it gets you done and into the industry faster without compromising the education. The instructor knew what she's taking about. So, gave real life scenarios to help you remember. 2. Front office personnel is top tier. He keeps you organized and makes sure you're prepared for upcoming events etc. 3. The owner did our CPR class , and he was so good. That I feel extremely confident in my ability to help someone in this type of incident. 4. The clinical portion is REAL, not made up scenarios. We were put in real life situations with real people. This will make you or break you and let you know if you're really cut out for this type of work. I am so glad that they did it this way. Everything you learn in the book. You will have in clinical, but in real time. So pay ATTENTION. In conclusion, I would attend this school , even if I had to travel. We literally had people who traveled everyday from another city to attend. It's worth it. If you have to get a hotel for a month. Do it ! The way they prepare you is priceless. It's worth every penny.
