Business ProfileforThe Dooby Shop School of Cosmetology

This school is stealing money and not providing any cosmetology basics, materials, or adequate state practices to students. My daughter was the only student enrolled to a cosmetology course at THE DOOBY SHOP SCHOOL OF COSMETOLOGY which began 4/9/24 and was withdrawn 4/12/24 due to lack of structure and school practices, yet the school is refusing to refund our $1500 fee. She was placed in a natural hair care class with 3 other students but given credit towards a cosmetology program. Students were not provided with course materials or cosmetology kits as outlined and were told those items would be given in roughly two weeks. My student was given a workbook that was ordered from AMAZON on 4/11 the same day she withdrew. They are requiring students to purchase cleaning supplies, gloves, uniforms (black scrubs required), additional mannequin heads, *****, braiding hair, extensions for wig making class, teaching supplies (pens/pencils/flash cards etc), and food for staff (colors parties). Students were also asked to purchase poster board, flash cards, glitter etc for a project that was due the next day but was given no study materials. With the tuition being set at $22, 620 (same as *****/ ************************* and other well-known schools) you can see why this would be alarming. They have no admissions department, are not FAFSA or VA certified yet they are promising students a state board cosmetology certification. The facility is unsanitary and a biohazard violation (students were drinking coffee from a pot with mold floating in it). The policy is to refund students who withdraw within 3days their full tuition, yet this school has no department who is competent enough to manage this. My student allegedly completed 29.9 when she in fact only completed 24 hrs. However, refund was calculated on tuition cost $22,620 instead of on tuition paid $1500. Miscalculating the 20% fee owed to the school as $4,524 instead of $300. THIS IS A COMPLETE SCAM AND THEFT OF FUNDS
