  I just graduated barber school and I would’ve loved this school if my main focus was practicing haircuts on mannequins and not real life experience on real hair. With the abundance of real clients getting their haircut in hemet they don’t allow you to cut on your peers or even family members before 2pm (incase you get a client) even though the contract they have you sign only requires you to stay until 1:30pm. When I first started all I heard were great reviews from alumni but upon the school went under new ownership who are very controlling and now all I hear is complaints and not only from students. The owner puts a great front of wanting his students to learn yet won’t allow them to practice on eachother or even bring in outside friends or families to practice on unless u follow a strict conduct of rules. He even had me download yelp to leave him an awesome review and when yelp wasn’t loading he asked to try it himself on my phone lol. Very strict rules here at the school I suggest asking and reading them all before signing anything with them because they will try to change and add more rules. For example tried to threaten to clock out barbers who weren’t wearing a black sweater yet never went over such dress code in orientation nor the on the policies posted on the website. There many more examples with abuse of power so I would advice that if your looking for a place to experience hands on learning this is not the school

  So I’m at student at MJ. Recently I’ve had a client who seemed to like me at the moment of the service, even tipped me $5 her choice. But then had a bad experience. I do apologize for your experience here. I didn’t have a chance to talk to her. 24hrs means 24hrs manufactures instructions. There’s 40 students here so her service should’ve been given to someone who was available. If I leave at a certain each day it’s honestly nobody’s business it’s in my contract. I’d be more than happy to refund Darlene her $5 dollar tip but the $20 is outta my control us as students we don’t get non of the service money it goes to the school. We’re here to learn.

  I was a walk in and Shelly cut my hair. I was charged 20 dollars and gave her a 5 dollar tip. My hair cut was not something to brag about I asked them about coloring my hair. So they did the test and told me to come back in 24 hours. Shelly told me to come back at the same time.so I went back at 10:30 when I got there they looked up my profile and she went to get Shelly. She came back and said It was too early it would be another hour so I decided to Waite. Then she said Shelly was going to leave at 1:30 and that would be too tight of a schedule. I said okay I will color my own hair. I think that Shelly decided she didn’t want to do my hair because it was Friday and she probably wanted to leave early to go party on a Friday. That’s okay I won’t be back. I don’t need any irresponsible people in my life.

  I graduated from the barber program, best school I have ever been to. The staff is amazing and incredibly helpful and kind. The program they have is by far the most accommodating and helpful you could hope for. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and I feel prepared for my new career. Met a lot of amazing people I will miss both the staff, owner and classmates.
