Joseph's College Cosmetology - Lincoln Campus

"I made an appointment for a perm and a haircut a week ahead of time. When I arrived the student I had requested was not at work, so another student was assigned. During my visit, the student told me she had actually earned all of her perm credits, however, the student didn't condition the hair after the shampoo. The instructor made all of the decisions about time of processing and left the chemicals on my hair the full time. My hair is colored, but a regular perm was used. When the processing and neutralizing were completed, I asked the student to trim the tips of my hair. The student called the instructor over and the instructor did all of the cutting. The student then fluffed my wet hair and said we were done. When I asked her to style my hair, she told me she couldn't set my hair or use a dryer on it because it was too dry (styling with heat would cause more damage). She also said she didn't have time to style my hair because she had another client scheduled and she had to have some lunch before they arrived. I left the shop with a wet head in 30 degree temps and 3 new problems. 1. damaged hair from improper product application 2. a wet mess of hair and 3. no hair style. It wasn't exactly a College of BEAUTY in my opinion. I have been to Beauty Colleges before, but this was the pits. I went to the school because I wanted to give a young person a chance to practice and learn. The student learned nothing about applying a perm, evenly trimming a perm nor about providing service. This type of behavior is not going to endear the student to customers in a shop when she is finished with school, and IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE STUDENT, IT IS THE FAULT OF THE INSTRUCTOR."

"The instructor explained to me that my daughter had an allergic reaction, which is fine, nobody's fault. But she was literally yelling at me and her tone was beyond rude while she was telling me. I then asked her to lower her voice, and of course she said that is her normal tone and carried on YELLING at me. So when I yelled back, she didn't like it. Imagine that."

"I have been going to Joseph's College for a little over a year. They keep my information on file so when one student leaves and the next one takes over the color and cutting of my hair it is consistent. Really enjoy the students (Isaih is about to graduate & has been great) and Lynn is my favorite instructor. Prices are reasonable and like their new location."

"I have attended Joseph's for a little over a year now, and am about to graduate. I am so pleased with my education. The instructors here know their stuff and are always willing to help you to understand the information and skills that are presented to you. I am confident in the skills and techniques I have been taught and owe it to the amazing people at my school for helping me learn. I was attending a different school before I decided to come to Joseph's and could not be happier with my decision."
