Well as most of you know, the beauty industry is a treacherous place for anyone to be trusting. I just finished school, passed my state board and now am a licensed cosmetologist. Now here's the fun part...
The school I went to: Marinello Schools of Beauty aka Brio Academy of Cosmetology, is now a nice place to look at. But once you enter those doors as a student, all hope of having a name in this industry are basically stripped of you. This is due to the many stupid and dumbass mistakes these "teachers" make.
One --- Some of these teachers don't even know what the hell they're doing! No coloring experience, no cutting experience... and one of them doesn't even have a license! Are you kidding me?! I pay 20,000 dollars to be taught by downtown trashed scrapped up "professionals", who not only look like they rolled out of bed but even have the decency to go to ANY education classes. All they do is give you a fake smile and a stupid answer for everything "Look in your book.."
Two --- There's no security in that school... what I mean is... no background checks, no drug testing, just a whole bunch of high mofo's walking around attempting to cut and color clients' hair! On top of it there's cameras all over the school but police show up there about 3 times a month because there's a threat or kidnapping of some sort... or a drug bust. It's disgusting and maybe these schools should screen who enters those classrooms.
Three --- No special guests, no workshops, no barbering teacher, no coloring teacher... everyone quits. Students drop after one week. Some just don't show up. It's discouraging thinking that I have to pay to go to this dump but fully enjoy doing what I do.. and these slumbags don't pay a cent and take for granted everything and anything... and steal everything and anything.
All in all, my experience at Marinello Schools of Beauty was a horrible one. Too much unneeded behavior and too much profanity. Not enough hands on. The only reason I know what I know now is, yes, from the books. But the old teachers, learning on my own, mostly outside experiences. I guess that's what these "schools" have come to... just aesthetic and no education.
