First let me say I am a Master Cosmetologist, since 1994. I went to Savannah School of Cosmetology. What I witnessed today saddened me tremendously. I was unable to get service today due to fear. I wanted a shampoo and cut, Scissors/comb. The instructor obviously has no confidence in her ability to teach since she proclaimed only she could do as I requested. Bill Kicklighter would NEVER allow a customer to walk out. FEAR is never an option. This was a prime opportunity to learn and teach. I made mistakes when I was a student and a Master. I feel sorry for this students who are guided with fear. To the future Masters don't ever walk away from an opportunity to learn and seeing that ur paying for this education get what u pay for. In the real world turning down work will leave u hungry and broke. Working to build your clientel will not be easy and if u think it will be easy to build and book think again. It took me 5 years to build an adequate income 10 years to be comfortable and I NEVER turned down anyone. When I retired from Cosmetology I placed 93 clients with other Cosmetologist I knew. So this was disappointing to say the least. However my rating was for the instructor. You are not equipping ur students YOUR HINDERING then by not supplying them with the real world of Beauty. As Ms Williams would say, " Some hairdresser work to live, others teach them...

Then the student said "well when you come back let me make it up to you", no way you made the mistake and then even told me it was your own fault for not listening and saying "oh you're right you did say that", I can't make that same mistake twice!
You're more worried about making post / making money, than you are about learning the knowledge of being a barber and acquire a talent, first skill is to listen to your customer and to not just do your own thing or to ask for help if you were uncertain!
On the 2nd or 3rd time going there they had a teacher who was more present and easy to flag down and step in for assistance, which imo I think should be the norm so that they can help guide and walk the students through a new procedure and teach them or correct them if they...

I literally was in his seat for 3 minutes and he handed me the mirror after only lining me up crooket and raking over top of my fro with clippers and it was uneven, I told him i wanted the sides and everything shaped and he replies oh you want a cut... this person is not even worth the insult. Needless to say I wont judge my final decision upon this jerk. Ill ......might try it one more time with request of a real craftsman-student and come to let...
