Lyles Colleges of Beauty

This place is an absolute joke, very outdated from the front of the building to the back. From what was once a school with over two hundred students, to now a dwindling low amount of I would say a small handful of students, maybe like 10, it's a shell of it's former glory. They do not advertise in any way shape or form, no newspaper, radio, television, social media, etc., and with a corporate institution in the city of Bakersfield, there's no competition at all whatsoever, for this mom and pop shop, especially when a corporate school is right across the street from this toilet. I would fully advise if anyone was interested in the beauty industry to most likely not look into this school. For one thing, they do not even use professional salon products, since that is a large part of the beauty industry, the institution across the street does, and it's incorporated with their training, this school doesn't. I still have yet to understand why this facility doesn't. It wouldn't hurt if whoever runs this dump this were to invest and use professional salon products. It might be the cheapest school to attend, and it definitely shows that it is, from their broken down equipment in need of repair and lackluster of updated décor. To their outdated methods of teaching, instructing and demonstrations. It's sad to see the quality of education the students are receiving isn't improving. The material is limited, students are taught techniques that haven't been revised since the 80's, and unfortunately they often graduate with the need to relearn how to actually work on the job. There's a huge mismatch between what these students need to know and what this school is teaching them. But this school isn't incentivized to do anything differently. There's no reason for them to evolve. I fully believe that one would receive a far better quality of education with higher standards of excellence in the education of cosmetology at the institution right across the street. Which is a well equipped corporate clean institution in Bakersfield. From what I gather, the owner who ever he/she is doesn't seem to give a damn about their institution. I think who ever this person is only gives a damn and cares about themselves, and all the money they make off of the students to live, which is very selfish, and it shows corrupt greed. It would be advisable for who ever this person(s) is or are to start caring, and financially put some money into their failing business, especially advertising, social media is a big way to advertise, and it's free. A very inconsistent dumpy facility. I have no idea how this facility continues to remains open.

The instructors are bitter and rude. .They are unprofessional and don’t turn the air on. Will not go back and don’t recommend! I highly support the students, however the owners and instructors suck!
