UNPROFESSIONAL, STEALING SCHOOL!!! Most of these good reviews you read anywhere online are coming straight from the TEACHERS at the school. When you graduate you can become a teacher there.. There is a 19 year old teacher there.. also only two teachers there with actual salon experience. I just quit and they ruined everything i loved about hair for me. They dont care about your education.. just the money; its so transparent. The owner Ned and his wife (also the financial lady) Genta hides from everyone because there are so many lawsuits against them; he doesnt wanna deal with anyone at all. No one has EVER gone on a trip to New York or LA. The tablets that you are "supposed" to receive are absolute junk no brand name tablets that you can find online for less than $50 bucks. The kits are valued no where near "$2,600" like they claim. I was forced to clean bathrooms, toilets, refrigerators, and the building always smells like dirty sewer water because they are to cheap to fix the plumbing in the building. Half the time we sit around and are not even being taught anything and i cant believe i paid this kind of money to go here. We were teacher-less for more than 4 hours recently so we all googled reviews and laughed at the bad reviews cause of how true they are and the OBVIOUSNESS that the good reviews are written by the teachers themselves. Do not be fooled! All the girls i talked to are paying a DIFFERENT amount for tuition before grants and loans; some are even being charged for "room and board?" CSI doesnt even have the accommodation for that... When i toured the school they made all these promises that turned out to be all false. Now im fighting to get the correct amount of tuition back. Save yourself the time and trouble and dont even think twice about visiting.

I am a successful GRADUATE and FREQUENT CLIENT here at CSI...If not for Ned and his staff at the time of my graduation...A LOT of years have passed since then...!...Do you sincerely think if Ned was that awful...he would still be in business sucessfully i will add!!! His awesome teaching methods prepare you for every angle of the business!!! POST GRADUATION...I have been running my OWN salon (sucessfully!!! If I may say so) if not for CSI and there teaching methods...who knows today??? If youre so unhappy transfer out sweerheart!!! Chances are...feelings are more than mutual!!! Ned...to you my friend...I need a phone call PLEASE!!! Regarding maybe taking you up on the teaching offer??? And a few other inquiries?!? Rather urgent?!? If I dont hear from you by Thursday or Friday Ill give you a buzz...?...thank you Ned!!! You truly are the best hairstylist on the planet!!!!! Thinking of you...!...XOXOXOXO

I am finishing up my education at CSA and I have nothing but positive things to say. I love my teacher! Miss Dita in esthetics is fantastic. I feel ready to tackle the world and I cant wait to use the skills I have obtained at CSA. The cosmetology teachers have also been great, the management staff has been helpful and easy to work with. If you are looking to start your education at a great school, learn how to do things properly and professionally, and get hands-on experience ...this is the place to go.

I would give it no stars if that was an option. They will schedule your appointments with people that are not even present there. when you show up there they will simply say "oh sorry we are busy". they dont care about your time and schedule. While the students are busy doing their own hair and make-up, they just lack the courtesy to oblige to their prior commitments. I will not go there unless you have a lot of free time to waste. The lower rates that they offer are not worth.

This school is great... Coming from an ACTUAL student. No school is perfect but I have already learned a lot and feel comfortable with what I am doing! I got to work on a real model from the beginning and the teachers have been reallyhelpful. THis school wants you to get a great education but you have to want to put in the work, energy and honesty.

I have checked out many school in the area and this place rocks. The owner Ned is a very nice guy. People just dont understand that he cares alot about this school and wants people to be the best they can. Please you get a free trip to LA when you complete school there. How great is that.

This place is straight garbage. All their "teachers" are so horrible at teaching they got their licenses from the back of a cereal box. And theres countless reports of students with learning disabilities getting abused by teachers.

The school is good. I feel Ive learned a lot and the teachers are nice and they help you whenever you need it. They all treat you with respect and so do the students.
