    I'm a former cosmetology student at this school. In 5 plus months of attending this place I got to practice on 2 clients before the director barred everyone from coming in (from Nov 21 through Mar 22). I followed their direction for apprenticeship which was to send them salons I want to apprentice at and they will reach out to these salons. I sent them a total of at least 10 salons. They failed to keep me updated on the emails THEY send and received, and the director blamed it on me that these salons don't want to mentor me even though it's them who are representing me. I quickly took matters in my hands and found my own mentor within 3 days (who was actually next door to this school and has all the documents required to provide apprenticeship). The director REFUSED to accept my mentor and asked me to pay $800 (which was never mentioned anywhere in contract) or they will put me at the nail salon in airport. The director keeps lying about this is not a nail salon or this nail salon also does hair. I asked the place and they say they do NOT do hair. I asked for my transcript to transfer to another school and they wanted to charge me $50 in "cashier check" for an UNOFFICIAL transcript, the only way I can get the official one was to give them contact info (email, name, address) of the school I'm transferring to for them to send it to the school and NOT me!? I paid off my student kit in Oct and I still haven't got the kit in full after 2 TRIPS and MULTIPLE rescheduling from the director. She lied about mailing the rest of the kit to me within that same week because I didn't received anything. She even blocked me from emailing her after I questioned her ridiculous "procedure" of getting MY HOURS. A former instructor reached out to me saying she and other stylists were scammed by the director as well by not getting paid the amount they were promised. When they questioned their pay they were blocked out by the director. We have reported them to State Board!

    Global Beauty and Barber Institute vehemently denies the false allegations set forth in this review. Global Beauty maintains the highest standards in everything that it does and expects for its students to do so, as well. We worked hard to accommodate and assist this student in reaching her goals, and unfortunately, our relationship had to end. Again, the allegations against Global Beauty included in this review is false. Any further communication regarding this issue should be directed to our legal counsel.

    Asking me to pay $800 halfway through the course, not accepting my mentor that I found when you didn't bother providing me with practice being an "institute" all these months, lying about the salon you want to put me at about them providing something they do NOT, withholding my transcript when I decided to transfer to another school. These are what you call "standard", "accommodate"? The violations you have committed are endless! Other students might choose to cut the loss and forget about this or turn back and say something completely different from what they said before but not me, I will call you out every chance and on every platform I get because this is a crime where you are taking advantage of your status as a school to scam students and instructors out of their money to learn a trade!
