This poor excuse of a school does not even deserve one star. As a former student of CCC Cosmetology program I can give a clear understanding to all on why you should NEVER be apart of this program.

From the very first semester I was not taught one single concept. We were told what to do and figure it out on our own and our teacher would disappear for an hour or so, return and ask why we are not busy. Sadly, this continued for the rest of my four semesters there.

Not learning anything as a beginner student, my class and I were blindly thrown out onto the floor not knowing how to practically do anything. Our lack of knowledge and confidence is then torn down more by our teachers expecting us to know what to do when we were never taught. Through all three semesters on the floor I taught myself along the way learning from experiences even though I am paying thousands of dollars for a quality education.

The teachers ESPECIALLY the head director Mrs. Allen refuse to help students succeed. They constantly target certain students they do not like, and it shows both on grades and how they interact with them. I have never experienced such uneducated and unprofessional "instructors" in my entire life. I have attended a four year university along with taking a full of cosmetology at another school during high school.

Instructors have lied to my face multiple times about their rules and regulations. They constantly change their minds on rules based on their mood. The director has such control issues she will not let students have a voice or opinion when it comes to improving this department. Along with helping students graduate. Over half of my class from the start of the program will not be graduating because the director has refused to help students gain their hours or completions. She has even taken away hours and completions of students because a poor excuse when she does not like them.

I would not suggest this school even to my worst enemy. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL! Please save your thousands of dollars for a quality education where excuses will not be made, you will learn and grow, and you will be in a healthy environment. Many people in my class have complained that this program has sucked the happiness out of them. They will sugar coat this program but please know the truth, this has been the worst year and a half of my life. They will tear you down, waste your money and fail you just for you to come back and pay more.

The staff is incompetent, rude, and hold zero accountability. They behave as if they are only there to collect a paycheck. Student services is a nightmare. They will send you in circles just to get you out of their office and to avoid actually doing their job. Did I mention how rude the staff is? The school is run more like a business than a school. No one actually cares about the students, their well-being or the fact that many of them are trying to go to school to better themselves and their lives. The schools goal is to squeeze as much money as possible out of every student and whether or not they get what they are paying for is of no matter to any of the staff.

The location is nice, and the staff in the offices are professional enough, but some of the actual instructors have thier noses in the air and a sense of entitled superiority to which they condescend to some of thier students who don't toe the line and nod thier heads in agreement with the status quo. If not that, then the endless; and pointless; headgames of some of the top instructors makes the process unbearable.

That being said, it's been years since I attended this school, and my only reason for rating and commenting is to hopefully rid myself of the advertisement that keeps popping up everytime Inpass by...
