    Took my daughter here to get her hair done for Homecoming. A student (I believe her name was…read moreKelsey) was assigned to my daughter's hair that day. Long story short, it was awful. There was so much hairspray in her hair that it looked like snakes coming out of the back of her head. I had to take her to another salon and have it completely taken down and redone. Not even an instructor at Scott's came to look at it before she was sent out the door. Side note- I understand that these people are students and have quotas to make, but they need to have better instruction and supervision. For the price I paid to have my daughter's hair done twice, next year I'll skip the college and stick to a regular salon.

    I started school here in the beginning of April, my first day we dove right into testing and book…read morework but I didn't even receive a book for at least 6 weeks. I remember thinking that this was unusual but just tried to pull through. When I completed the core theory coarse with all the obstacles such as no books I moved onto the practical coarse. I had a rude awakening!!!! I sat in class for weeks starring at myself in a mirror because the owner Joe Mamone wouldn't give me my kit to learn the hands on portion. After sitting there tired due to being a working mother I realized things weren't right, especially for the money they charge. In that time my instructor spent most of her time painting her nails or booking vacations instead of teaching us. We had to beg for trash bags and then be denied even small things like that to fill his trash cans (weird), then at one point an instructor took a pair of gloves out of the trash washed them off and have them to a student to do a service on a client due to not being provided with gloves let alone trash bags. I realized I will not be paying for a trash education for that money. I dropped out after begging for my personal file and never getting a response let alone something that is mine and by law should be provided to me at any time. I went to elite academy of hair design and was informed I had to start completely over due to not being taught . Don't make the mistake I made!!! Don't trust Scott College Of Cosmetology!!!! Now I'm being threatened financially by Scott's to pay them for something I never received. Also the day I walked out of Scott's as a senior on the floor I yet to receive even a hair dryer. There is so much more that happened but it's too much to type end result I wasted time away from my child, cut back at work, miles on my car, being harassed daily by crack heads in wheeling , and lost all that time to gain nothing from this school. Word from the wise choose elite!!!!
