Continental School of Beauty

Came here to get my hair done a few months ago. My usual salon was closed and I needed to get my hair done, so I decided to come here. Bigggg mistake. The person that did my hair stripped the color of my hair (without permission) and then put color on the stripped hair when I wanted the color to be permanent and fade nicely… stripped hair doesn’t keep any color you put on it. That being said, the color they put on was gone in a matter of 3 days. Along with the stripping of the hair, I also asked for a cut. I had to ask 5 times for my hair to be cut and when the person actually cut my hair, it was straightened out, completely ruining my hair, as I have very wavy/curly hair. I left this school after 5+ HOURS of being there, thinking “oh I look okay”, but 3 days later I realized the grave mistake I made going here. Because I went here to get my hair done, I ended up having to cut my hair short in order to get out the stripped color and even out the mess they made of my hair. I still can’t color parts of my hair because of going here and I genuinely hope this helps anyone who is considering going here to get there hair done.

I decided to create a different gmail in order for me to write my review and explain my experience without being traced back to me. I did this because while in school my class was told if we voiced our concerns or spoke poorly of the school we wouldn’t be hired in the industry because spa owners know the people that run Continental. Overall I wish I never would’ve spent my money going to this school. Equipment was broken and rusted. We were taught a lot of things that Sheer Ego provides for their students and when brought to staff they said they were only required to teach us what nys required. We spent 2 days on lash extensions which when applying to the school was a PROMISED skill we would learn. Now I’m going to need to spend more money somewhere else to actually learn about it. They lie to you when you apply for the school about what you learn then when you’re there you’re trapped and yelled at for asking when you’re going to learn it. I’ve never felt as defeated as when I went to school here. They say their teachers are industry professionals but can’t even expand on the services they offer outside of school or how to learn how. There is zero structure to the classes. One teacher tells you one thing and the others tell you something completely different. One time my teacher was out sick and we had miss meagan. She is one of the rudest and nastiest people I have ever met. I asked her ONE question about a work sheet and she wouldn’t even answer it. How are you a teacher expected to TEACH and can’t even explain, she was also very rude on many other occasions, real high school mean girl vibes from a grown woman working with teenagers and mostly 20 somethings. This school felt like prison, it’s dirty, trashy, unorganized and causes unnecessary stress onto its student. I urge anyone looking into this school DO NOT GO HERE. Please take your hard earned money, time and save your stress for something else actually worth it. Everything I learned while enrolled at this school was because of me, myself and I studying the textbook. Not the teachers. I also learned most of what I know now from YouTube, stuff they never taught or explained. Also whoever responds to this, save your fingers I don’t need to hear your pity about how you’re sorry about my experience, it doesn’t mean anything when all the other reviews are the exact same and nothing changes. Please do better for your student who are only asking you for the education they deserve after spending their money and trying to follow their dreams.

Going here was one of my worst experiences I have ever had I have a learning disability and when I asked for help I got criticism and blamed me for being rude to the teacher for just asking for help one lady in charge yelled at me and told me to get out of her office and she got in my face just for asking to be taught a different way and for extra support disgusted and disappointed.

I randomly decided to look at continentals reviews wondering if things are the same here. I graduated almost three years ago and I felt like I should have done more research and went somewhere else. This school is not organized at all and doesn’t have much structure. A couple days before my graduation date, I made the stupid decision to spend a little more time then I should of on a break. That was not right of me. The way I was treated by miss betty was unacceptable. She was mad at me for the situation which I can understand but she only targeted me and not the other student that left on break, I was the only one that got in trouble. My graduation day, she yelled at me in front of everyone for wearing Sandals… she made me go across the street and buy a new pair of shoes. This was her being petty for being upset with me about the situation I described earlier. I have seen multiple students graduate in sandals and wear whatever they want. My graduation day was not enjoyable at all and it shows that they pick favorites at Continental, and I was treated very poorly.
