Efx Artistry

I bought one of their specials on Living Social. The number given by Living Social is no longer in service. So I went to their website and e-​mailed them. They gave me the alternate phone number which is also on their website. I called a few times and no one ever called me back… so now, I have a non refundable, expired coupon. I went to the store, but no one was there and it is by appointment only. Be care if you decide to do something like this. I do want to add, that I know someone who went to the their school and enjoyed it.

I meant to add a review since last month but since Unilocal has added the ability to review while mobile, I will leverage it and hopefully help someone avoid a disappointing, unprofessional experience like I did!
I purchased a living social deal for a corrective beauty class. I drove excitedly to the class expecting to learn some tips and tricks. I had read the review by Casey below and still figured that I would give them a try. Alas, I should have heeded his words because I had the same fate. NO ONE WAS THERE FOR MY CLASS! Can you imagine? I knocked, called, hooted, and hollered but that didn’t help. It was just me, my makeup brushes, and my shadow in the blazing sun…
I wrote them to complain about what had happened and I got a response that the instructor was there and waited for 30 mins before leaving. Seriously?!! BLEEPING UNBELIEVABLE! I was even more disappointed at the way they handled it. Luckily for me, I contacted living social and got my $ back but NEVER NEVER again.
Please heed my words people… don’t end up like me. Thanks to my good genes, at least I can still walk around freely with my natural looks even though I didn’t learn any tricks from the corrective beauty class! ;)

I recently have just completed the Corrective Beauty course and I can honestly say it was a great experience. I loved how it was such a small class so it was almost like getting taught one on one. I don’t understand how on previous reviews they can say such negative comments. Regardless of the comments I still gave the school a shot and I don’t regret it one bit. Darlene is such a sweet lady and only wants the best for her students. I’m so glad I attended this school after Cosmetology school because now I can do hair and makeup. I cannot thank Darlene enough. I would recommend all inspiring makeup artist to attend.

I’ve attended many makeup training classes and workshops over the course of many years of being a makeup artist, and must say that EFX is by far, the best one-​on-​one available today. Darlene is «right there» with you every step of the way to help you be all that you can be in the profession of makeup artistry. The larger schools I’ve attended had so many students, it was difficult to get the help we sometimes need. EFX classes are limited and very small. Additionally, Darlene offers continued training and support beyond graduation and if you are in the top of your class, she will also mentor you by taking you along with her on jobs. Great training! Please feel free to contact me directly on my cell 951.317.0125 or msg me on FB at CelebrityLips. All the best, Kelly Robertson, Founder of The Makeup Bar, Old Town Temecula CA

Put my daughter in this school and she learned so much and It was affordable. Darlene the owner is very good at what she does and we are very pleased. Thanks for bringing your knowledge to the inland Empire.

This school is a one woman show and I have learned the hard way that the manager mismanages students’ checking accounts and fails to refund money or prorate classes when cut short. Also famous for canceling make-​up sessions. Be smart, go to an accredited school where instructors are ORGANIZED and ETHICAL. Oh yeah, click on the «Filtered» reviews for this business at the bottom of the page to read more reviews. The comment left below is another lie. I am a student and my opinion is valid.

I’m so grateful to have found this school. Not only is it close by, but its also affordable. I was so fortunate to have this opportunity in learning something that I love to do. Thank you so much Darlene!

Darlene’s a very inspiring instructor, and more so inspiring as a MUA. Her talent and the way she guided me through many aspects of makeup were phenomenal. Unlike a lot of MUA’s, Darlene really exerts her love and passion for makeup through her teachings. I would say it’s an EXCELLENT studio to attend if you’re already familiar with makeup, and need those extra bump’s and skills & awareness of the makeup industry. Another thing I love the mpst, EFX Artistry helped me gain experience in the industry & helped me get work right after my certification, which I truly, truly needed & do appreciate. Darlene shows cares for her students/​grads, and that’s what differs her from a lot of others. Darlene’s great & the studio has been good to me, and I hope many others soon to come get the same experience I did!

I’m a professional photographer and I only use top of the line make up experts. Efx Artistry provides me with professional service and extraordinary personality. Darlene Rocks!
