Cobb Beauty College

I came here a couple weeks ago for just a haircut. While I was there I decided to get my brows waxed. BIG mistake. I was there nearly THREE HOURS! She didn’t even do that good of a job and I was not impressed.
She «straightened» my hair and didn’t use the correct type of straightener for my hair type. I’m not a cosmetology student and I do a better job straightening my hair than they do. The instructor didn’t even look over my hair when she was done.
It took her so long to do my eyebrows. I had wax stuck in them for days! I was so hungry when we left I nearly passed out because she took so long. That’s just ridiculous. I’m never coming back here. I’m going to great clips next time!

I am leaving a student review, not a client review.
I was very disappointed with this school. Very disorganized and unstructured. They accept new girls every week, so nobody is on the same page. Their attitude is «Don’t worry about it! You’ll cover it all eventually!» But when you’re starting a new school and profession while they’re on their color week, they don’t go over a basic shampoo, or parting and then yell at you on your first day for not knowing how to do something, that doesn’t sit well with me. I had a major problem with getting an instructor to show me what to do multiple times. A STUDENT (not a teacher working to get their instructor license, a STUDENT) that had been there weeks longer than me, taught me (NOT helped me, taught me) how to roll perms, do manicures, pedicures and a lot of the other things. I didn’t pay 20 thousand dollars to be taught by a student.
When I decided to transfer, they got completely nasty with me. They had been so welcoming and so understanding up to this point. During my exit interview (which is basically a bullying session) I was very respectful about my reasons for leaving, and Gail and Michelle did nothing but attack my husband and me. They could have taken my complaints constructively, but instead they acted like children and told me I wasn’t qualified enough to say something wasn’t structured enough for me (ok. then who is?). They also have some shady things going on with financial aid that don’t line up with any other school I’ve talked to. I’m in the process of talking to FAFSA about that.
I have since transferred to Paul Mitchell the School Esani and I could not be happier! Such a structured, friendly, and fun learning environment. So many advanced opportunities! Advanced skin, advanced makeup, honors color, texture, cutting, makeup, and deans list. Also, so many clubs and activities to get involved in at school. Not to mention the Paul Mitchell name is behind you for the rest of your career. For $ 300 more than Cobb Beauty, definitely go to Paul Mitchell Esani for a structured, fun, friendly, and professional school!

Ive never really used Cobb Beauty College for anything except getting an inexpensive updo for my daughters when they were going to dances in middle school and high school. I recently was being ‘cheap’ and thought I would sent my 18 yo daughter there to get her roots touched up from her making a ‘blonde’ color mistake and OMFG what a nightmare! She asked for a ‘partical’ color and the stupid chic only did the roots from the from of her head to the middle of her head not like a partical color should be… then the woman that runs the place insisted on just giving us a gift certificate to use. OH another thing. I went to use this gift certificate for a mani and pedi there and it took this chic 3 hours to do my mani pedi… this place is truly ridiculous. If you ask for a senior person dont count on it. I dont think in either situation either girl had ANY experience AT ALL. It was terrible, aweful, disgusting and pure torture. I still have money left on the gift card but its MY LOSE and we will NEVER go back there again. With that being said I have spent $ 16,750 to send MY daughter to a reputable cosmotology school TONI & GUY… This place is so professional, trendy and well worth every dollar I will spend sending her there. Cobb Beauty College is a complete DUMP Im sure its only ½ the price to get your license there but you get what you pay for. Enough said… GO TONI & GUY school I give them 5 stars… Cobb Beauty College I only gave 1 star but would have given them MINUS 5 stars if that was a choice.
