So I scheduled an appointment "TO
TOUR THE SCHOOL". Bellamy, was who I was to meet with. So I get there a few before 9:00 and wait for her. She comes in and introduces herself and walks in her office so I am left wondering "do I follow orrr no" when another lady says "you can go in" so I go in and sit. She pulls out some papers (Bellamy) and says welcome back and "I know you have seen these papers before.." And I sort of stopped her and say "this is my first time ever being here." She says oh okay and starts handing me paperwork for cosmetology, I say "um I am here for the skin care program". I stayed calm and sweet but that is a little frustrating that she has no idea who or why I am here even after talking back and forth and setting up a tour meeting. So she gets out the correct paperwork and has me start filling things out (I'm assuming they just need it for filing purposes) and then she tells me I need to fill out the fasfa, mind you I have mentioned to her and another lady sitting in the room that I was there for a TOUR! So whatever I sit at the computer and start filling it out and she asks if I have my high school diploma on hand, no I don't. So I keep filling this out online and get to the tax portion.. I'm sorry but if anyone can remember tax info off the top of their head, props to you! So I tell her sorry I can't finish this without my tax forms. She kinda just stood there not saying anything so I got up and say in the other car infront of the desk and she asks if I have my diploma on hand (again) along with my social and Id I said I have my id but nothing else. At this point I am getting frustrated but remaining very professional and collected. Bellamy seemed a bit turned off that I didn't have those things and says "well yeah cause we need them to make copies". I said well I don't have them. So she hands me a paper to sign and does not tell me what it is!! (Still haven't take a tour) then she points to the paper and says my $100 registration fee is due today. I said "no I'm not here to do this today I am here for a tour. She looked confused or lost and finally says okay let's do the tour.
The tour included a one minute walk around the school. I literally had to ask "what is this room" as she walked past the room with all the skin care tables. I literally had to ask "so is this where we take clients or?". Why am I asking?! It's a tour and I should be getting a tour and description of everything! Not to mention the student kit you pay $350 for, I was only shown the brushes.
So, to be honest, my feelings for the skin care program at all are completely turned off. I don't think I'll be returning here for sure.
I felt she was very unprepared and unprofessional. Made me feel extremely uncomfortable and awkward. Honestly it was a complete waste of time. An hour I was there for nothing.
Tip: when someone has an appointment with you take a second to re read what they are coming for so you don't make them feel completely unwelcome.
A plus side, the school was clean and looked really nice, to bad.
I just learned Carl was the women sitting in with me and Bellamy and I am shocked to learn she was the OWNER. And let it run as it did. "/
