"If you are of color and are interested in the cosmetology program I would highly recommend looking elsewhere. I was forced to take my hair out and forced to be seen by the entire school and embarrassed. There’s more than just one incident where I have been pin pointed out because I was the only black student in the class to the point where I had to take legal matters. Nothing was done about the situation still. There are some great schools in canton if you are of color but I sincerely believe you should look elsewhere if you are of color. The counselors are very helpful however."
