Artistic School of Nails & Cosmetology — Local services in Edgewood

I’m writing this review to share my experience with Julia, the owner of Artistic Beauty School, in the hope that others can make an informed decision before engaging with this business.

During my time working under a barter arrangement with Julia, I encountered several issues that I believe reflect poorly on the leadership and environment at the school. Despite the agreement we had, I did not receive the education I was promised in exchange for my work. This left me feeling taken advantage of and unfulfilled in my professional development.

In addition, I found the environment at Artistic Beauty School to be concerning in other ways. Julia often made comments about my personal life, including my living situation and marital status, that I found inappropriate and hurtful. While everyone is entitled to their opinions, I felt that these remarks were unnecessary and created a negative atmosphere.

Moreover, I observed a strong emphasis on physical appearance at the school, including frequent discussions about plastic surgery. While some people may appreciate this focus, I felt it detracted from the broader values that should be encouraged in the beauty industry, such as self-confidence and inner beauty.

I also noticed that discussions of a personal nature, including topics related to private life, were common in the workplace. In my opinion, these conversations were not always appropriate for a professional setting and might not align with what one would expect from a nurturing educational environment.

I am sharing this review because I believe it’s important for prospective students and clients to know what to expect. While some may have different experiences, I feel that the issues I encountered are worth considering when choosing a school that will support your growth and professional development.

Overall, my experience with Artistic Beauty School was disappointing. I hope this feedback will be helpful to others who are considering...

My Experience with Artistic School of Nails & Cosmetology.

I attended this school for a total of just under three months. Unfortunately my time there was so underwhelming and unprofessional, I had to transfer schools. I'd like to start this off by saying I really enjoyed the owner, as a person. She's very friendly and I enjoyed her company. That does not, however, make up for my experience there.

For my first month attending, there were no cosmetology teachers working at the school. One was on vacation, ones mom had just passed, and one was out for a personal issue. I just chalked this up to "bad timing" and figured I just need to wait until one teacher gets back from her vacation. I was instructed to just go into facials, which was fine, but I was eager to start on hair. But again, no big deal. It wasn't until I was 3 weeks in and still no cosmetology teacher, that I was starting to get a bit frustrated.

Then, I heard the new cosmetology teacher was starting next week (yay!) I was excited to finally start learning more about hair. this was when my teacher came in. During her first week, I was informed that she was going through some very serious personal issues at home, so I tried to give her a lot of grace when she would come in some and be very rude and demeaning to me. It seemed like she had little experience with teaching, or maybe she just had no interest in teaching me. Either ways, I unfortunately learned very little in my time there. Then when I tried to transfer schools, the owner made it difficult in trying to pick up my transcripts.

The only way I'd recommend this school is if you are just going for an esthetician license or nail tech. The teachers for those departments are great, and I enjoyed my time with them. However, if you're looking to join this school for the cosmetology program I would advise against it. I never make reviews, and I always try to see the best in a situation, but this experience was honestly...

I can say this is the best cosmetology school ever in the Orlando area. Everyone is so great and caring. They go above and beyond to exceed all expectations making sure that their students are successful during and after completing the programs. Ms. Jean, the cosmetology instructor has so much patience and always available to answer any questions at anytime. She is also a master in hair coloring so understanding the Hair-coloring chapter was easier. She takes time to explain things and made sure that her students understood the materials before moving on to the next subjects. Ms. Julia, the owner and Ms. Jean, Oh my God, Words cannot express how wonderful those two are. They are blessings to me and my family. I finished and was able to pass both section of my cosmetology Board exam at one time, thanks those wonderful ladies. Their encouragements and supports, i was able to study and be successful. I will definitely 1000% recommend this school to anyone who is seeking for a career in the beauty industry. I promised you that you won’t regret it. Thanks! so very much Ms. Jean, for everything. Please keep up the good work on how you go about helping these students to learn the materials and be successful. Thanks so much again, Ms. Julia, for all you’ve done and best of all, for laminating my cosmetology license for me. It is very much appreciated. Most of all, thanks so much to the entire school staff for being there and supportive. I wish the best for the school. May God...
