Marinello Schools of Beauty

worst experience of going to beauty school. I had 3 different teachers during my 7 month estitician program and administrative people were never there at night. No one helped. Your way better looking somewhere else!

This is the best school! i am a former student, marinello has helped me so much. thanx to the instructors for helping me and motivating me. thank you mrs Vicky, mrs Munoz and Ms Mo for always pushing me to do my best i couldnt done it without you. the staff is amazing and always willing to help. and not just that but they even helped me pass my stateboard and thanks to the instructors i am a liscensed cosmetoligist!

I attended Marinello Schools of Beauty from February 2015 to early April 2015. During my time there I was an outstanding student with excellent grades and perfect attendance and was paying for the program in cash. A few weeks into the program, I noticed that the instructors were habitually tardy, never in control of the wild and unruly student body, and often unavailable during class hours. There was no structure enforced by the instructors, students were never held accountable for their actions even after many threats that disciplinary actions would be taken. The instructors were constantly having to stop class to try to regain control of the students, taking away from valuable learning time. After the students with modified schedules left for the day, the full time students who remained, including myself, were left to find ways to occupy ourselves for the last two and a half hours of class. We were given no guidance or tasks to complete after 2:30 pm and we were expected to stay busy while the instructors either sat in their office or helped students with their clients. The complete lack of consideration for my time and money was highly unprofessional and outright unacceptable. I did attempt to bring these issues to the attention of two different school directors. They both showed some attempts to correct the situation by informing the student body that the rules were going to be more strict with a zero-​tolerance attitude, however this action was not making it past the instructors. Even after more threats of zero-​tolerance, the instructors still were not following through with any sort of discipline whatsoever. I left the school and dropped out because I felt my time and money were being wasted and Marinello was not upholding their end of the contract I signed when I enrolled. Once I dropped out of the program, I felt that I was entitled to be reimbursed for my tuition costs that I had paid in cash. I then reached out to the corporate office of Marinello. After over four months and over twenty calls to their office, I am still having trouble getting anyone from the office call me back. I have left numerous voice messages and left messages with the secretary, but still no one from the corporate office will contact me. Sadly there is a trend with this school of being completely unprofessional and a failure to take responsibility for their actions which starts at the school level all the way to the top at the corporate office. It is unfortunate that a school that has been in business for so long, that is supposed to have such a great reputation can be so completely unprofessional and irresponsible to their students.
