Long Island Beauty School

March 31 i went to libs in hauppauge for cut and color. The young lady was extremely personable however the color was very drab brown i wanted a reddish brown....i get better color from a box dye.....the cut was supposed to be layered....i am still looking for the layers lol.

I will now have to get another cut and cant wait till i can color again.

Also teacher came by only once while color was setting. I dont blame the young lady she did her best however i will never go back

I went to this school about 2 years ago. I signed up with the same dream as all the other girls/boys just to be let down.

I want people to be aware before they waste their money here. They give you a set of hours you get to miss and these hours are barley enough to get you through the year. They make you pay 2.50 per hour you miss and make you make up the hours on your own time, regardless if you work after school they do not care. I was charged an EXTRA $1200 just to graduate.

This school is just the worst. I had a passion in doing hair and make up. I started out thinking this was going to be the best time of my life, learning what I love to do. Just to be let down.

I learned that in this industry every person who surrounds you is catty. And I mean EVERY person. I would watch girls pretend to be friends with one girl just to have her turn her back for second and that was enough time to make fun of her. Besides that, the teachers made me feel useless.

I had questions I was AFRAID to ask because I felt as if my own teachers were also judging me. They picked their favorites and if you weren't one of them you were not treated equally. I want Long Island Beauty School to know that they've changed my faith in this industry & that I no longer do hair and I haven't since I've graduated that school. They made me feel lower than I've ever felt.

I've had no hope in myself since I've went to this school. recently I received a phone call from one of the heads in there and asked to see how I was doing.

I refuse to call back. Sorry this is so long but please don't waste your time or money going here.

Im finally out of that horrible school.I don't recommend this school to any one I mean anyone.At first when you come to school you'll be soo excited because this is your dream coming true, that bubble will be popped shortly after.The students in there are mostly focused on DRAMA there pathetic. Most of them sit there and try to act like they already know everything.The teachers are bitter and depressed with their lives so they take it out on the students even the new teachers they hired are useless thru love drama and are very petty especially that Ratchet one Ms.Homes she's pitiful.

Ms. Michelle doesn't know *** she's a dunce. Ms.Diane doesn't care about the students.

This school is horrible and don't leave your supplies out they will steal them in a heart beat. This school gets 2 thumbs down.

If your looking to gain knowledge this is not the school for you. It's a very unprofessional ghetto establishment.

The $1000 kit is trash your ID isn't even included that's an additional $10. The instructors or very unprofessional its pretty much a joke. I'm so happy that I graduated I never have to deal with them again. While attending this "school" as a student I never felt valued.

Students would complain on a daily basis about conflicts that there having with their "teachers" and the students are ALL WAYS wrong. The "teachers " are full of drama during my last days of school this summer one of the apprentice teachers (Ms. Holmes) gets into a discussion with a student than discussed it with one of the students (*** black boy)....he agreed with everything she was saying look like he was kissing her *** they seem to be very close. I found that to be very unprofessional,didn't know if she was a student or teacher very immature of her.Ms.Aida walks around as if she's too good to help anyone.

Ms.fosters attitude is disgusting but she wants you to do well.I plan on writing to the board of higher education even though I've graduated things need to change. I wish those before spoke up before I came things would probably be different.

I agree with you they don't how to treat people. While I was their treat me real bad because I had a disability or color of my skin .

God only knew why they did but I forgive hair Desgin . Because end of day God love matter what know take my success away from me.

This was the most terrible experience my daughter had! All the teachers and staff are very abusive with their mouths.

They cursed my child out all day and told her that your not going to be anything when she gets out of this school. The teachers ( if that's what you want to call them) have no talent or skills thats why their there and not in a salon. The students have to change mods every few weeks and every teacher teaches their own way and the students gave no idea which way is right or wrong for state board. Also the students are really bad as well and want to fight all the time.

This is a low class school with a very bad element of students and teachers. They need their license revoked. I am calling the state on them ASAP. My daughter has been abused by the students and was afraid to go on break and go to the car and the owner and teachers could of cared less.

Ms Green said if you want to kill each other just take it outside not in class. She was the worst! Very evil. Ms.

G curses every day and is very abusive. The teachers are not for the students whatsoever! They take each other's side. If one teacher doesn't like you then they tell the other teacher and they torture you as a student.

They are not going to get away with this. The state is being called and they will be shut down!!

this is for anyone looking to sign up for the HAUPPAUGE libs .FIRST OF ALL the admissions lady claudia lies to you . she tells you about how youll be learning extentions ,all the latest waxing and facials ..

funny thing is that ISNT included in the 13,900 you pay to go to the school. secondly - you go threw about 11 Mods (classes) EVERY teacher teaches you state board wrong . you finally findout after 10 months the right way if your lucky enough to have mrs. G .

next- they get you all excited for clinic 1 , cutting room and the color room when in reality all the teachers are VERY rude. ms linda loos for reasons to yell at you ms a has a attitude and ms choune is the nastiest of them all . they all care about servicing the clients rather then teach us . i only know a basic cutt and how to do a touch up after 9 months of being there .

you pay so much money but its not enough for them because they force you to do clients or you get sent home . they try and get you with a " what are you gonna do in the salom when you get a client not help them" cause theyd rather u make them money then learn. i missed out on many forms of cutting styles and many ways of dying hair and you can beg them to show you how to do whatever it was the next day and theyll refuse. okay now lets talk about staying after to makeup hours ..

if you want to practice styles on your friends hair theyll cause a HUGE scene .. i mean its hair school if we want to practice hair in our free time we should be aloud ! ms greene the supervisor is a very nasty lady . sometimes nice but mostly nasty .

to graduate you need to complete 5 tests "A-E tests" and you need to go to the front desk to ms bosco to get each test and she gives you the BIGGEST problem getting one meanwhile thats all she does. every few weeks the school has demonstartions and everyone gathers together to watch , but the school still accepts clients which makes the students servicing that cliente miss out on learning a new skill. i liked the sound of taking clients everyday unlike boces who takes clientes only fridays but now exsperincinh it i wish it was only fridays this way i would of learned . at 11 oclock libs gives students a 15 minute break which most students use that time to eat & teachers will constantly complain they shouldnt be eating meals its just a coffee break which is annoying considering most students go straight to work after school which means 11 is only chance they get to eat , personally its annoying.

ms pams the one who complains about it the most meanwhile she takes that time to eat a meal. the school had roaches in the clinic 1 . i wanted to state all of those reasons because when i went to sign up the only background i had is what claudia told me which wasnt all true .

if i were to go back in time id choose patchauge or riverhead boces because libs wasnt worth it at all. i hope yhis helps

Long Island Beauty School in Hempstead is the biggest joke and waste of money and time.

The tuition is about $13,000, which is appealing at first, but in only a few short weeks you will learn that the phrase "You get what you pay for" applies.

Ms. Cynthia is a sweet heart but a flat out liar. She is aware of all of the BS that goes on yet still will tell you what you want to hear to get you in the door.

Mr. Frank is the biggest cheap *** there is. Everything is money money money, he sells old beat up supplies that students have left, he charges for every little thing and the $800 kit you pay for is ***. It wouldn't even style a barbie's hair. Your supplies either break or stop working within weeks, even days, and YOU have to PAY for a replacement, even though the equipment provided for you is cheap and faulty.

The educators in this facility are the biggest joke.

First of all, this school is in THE HOOD. 90% of the school is hood rat black girls who can't get into college. They are constantly starting fights and disrupting any sort of sub-par education you are trying to receive.

Ms. Foster can't even read, yet she's teaching a class; Ms. Myrta is a floozy who is always on something, popping pills and cooing over her latest diet trends, Ms. Linda plays favorites, doesn't explain something if you don't understand it, gets in your business, and is a straight up ***. Ms. Rachelle... don't even get me started. She is the biggest drama queen. She thinks she's hot ***, will talk down to you like you are a peasant, and all she does is sit on her phone and talk to a new guy every week instead of instructing you.

The only person I learned ANYTHING from in this school is Ms. Diane. This woman is the sweetest woman I have ever met. She has a wonderful story behind her and she genuinely cares about her students. She will give out her personal cell phone number to make sure you get the help you need. She is wonderful and she deserves *** of a lot more money than that cheap *** pays her.

This school is a free for all. It is literally a circus. I know beauty school is only to teach the basics, but you barely learn that here. I passed my State board because I taught myself the material from the text book, and I worked closely with Ms. Diane and found an apprenticeship. (with no help from LIBS)

My first week there some spanish girl threatened to hit me in the face with a hot curling iron because I wouldn't tell her how to properly roll a barrel curl during a hands on exam. And NOTHING was done about it. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND FIND A BETTER SCHOOL. COMMUTING TO MANHATTAN MAY SEEM LIKE AN EXPENSE, BUT IN THE END YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID. I feel so ripped off and cheated out of a decent education; however I put all I could into it and worked with the right teacher and obtained my license. That was no help to LIBS though, So please.. if you are looking for good help... and a good education.. DO NOT go here.

The student began to shampoo my hair and blow dry my hair. She asked me how big do you want the twist.

I told her I want them really big. She tried to curl the ends with hot water and burned my scalp as a result. And then she blow dried my hair. The ends was not curled.

They was very unprofessional.When she finished I looked at my hair and noticed that the twist was small and that their was alot of spot that wasn't covered. I complained to the manager and she said it wasn't anything she could do about.
