Marinello Schools of Beauty

Just finished my first week of school; love the instructors, they are very kind and skilled. The other students are friendly, helpful, and accepting (because I am retraining in a new career and am much older than most students), and I have already learned a few amazing skills to use in my new career as a cosmetologist!

My daughter chose this school and it has far exceeded my expectations. The teachers are kind and knowledgable. My daughter now has the skills to be an excellent hairdresser and has developed the discipline to succeed. I highly recommend this school.

I first want to say that I have already posted this review and it got removed, probably because I mentioned the drunk, high, contagious skin disorder having students. I am a graduate of this location and recently passed my boards. This accomplishment is completely due to my teacher Miss Steph. She is a beautiful person that cares about you and your career unlike other instructors that see you as a paycheck. She made this school a diamond in the ruff. Because of her I had an amazing experience. Recently she was let go because she informed her students of an extra course that would be beneficial for them. She specified that we would not get credit for that day with marinello and that it was completely our choice to attend the class and pay the $ 350 fee. She even went as far as to clear it with the director of the school and was told that since it was not a field trip it was not against any rules for us to attend. This however was not the case. They fired her because of this class that was intended to further our education. She was clearly set up and ambushed which is hideous. I 100 percent believe miss Steph has made me a better person and that school lost a huge asset. I would not be surprised if the whole esthetics program goes under. I will say that I have great relationships with some of the real instructors and employees here. However I have to agree with Gel, I personally experienced many students under the influence, having contagious skin disorders, and behaving in disgusting manners and NOTHING was done about it.
Miss steph was always helping, teaching, loving, and treating us with respect. There is no esthetics teacher that will replace her and no other class will get the same education I received. This was a big mistake on marinello’s part.

The one star is for the overall school. But I give MISS STEPH 10 stars! She is the best instructor. I am honored to have been taught by her. I have learned so much. She is the best teacher that I have ever had. She is the ONLY reason I came to marinello. Her pass rate is 98 percent at stare board. She is amazing. She is a kind, smart, caring wonderful person. Unfortunately new students won’t be able to experience this, because she is not here anymore. Marinello will definitely not be the same. Like I said before miss Stephanie was the only reason I came to marinello! I think my post got deleted. And it’s not true that you will get the SAME learning experience as when miss steph was there. I would NOT recommend this school to new students!

THE 5 STARS ARE FOR MISS STEPHANIE, The instructor for the esthetician program… she is hands down the most inspiring, passionate, unbelievably smart and talented instructor I have ever had in my life. She is not only an esthetician instructor, she is a natural healer, her spirituality and love for her students and their success goes above and beyond expectation. I honestly learned more from her than I could imagine. She sees nothing but the beauty in EVERY situation, to know her and be taught by her is a privilege and an honor, THANK YOU MISS STEPH for making me a better person and to love myself and help me succeed. You never gave up, every single student you have ever taught became a better person and so much success due to your encouragement… SADLY, students at marinello won’t be able to experience this truly gifted instructor because she is no longer there. MARINELLO WILL NOT be the same, they have no idea the damage they caused for the students. The only reason why many of those students even enrolled was because they couldn’t wait to be taught by the amazing miss Steph. Such a shame. If anyone is interested in the esthetician program, pray that at least miss Maureen will take over because I had the privilege of meeting her on occasion and she is an amazing spirit as well. I CANNOT SAY THE SAME FOR THE NIGHT INSTRUCTOR. This school clearly cares more about your money than they do about the success of the students. Miss Steph had the #1 passing rate… she encouraged all students to excel and take more classes to further their education… That is all. Peace and love to miss Steph.

This review is for the school: anyone considering going to beauty school do not enroll with marinello! If you want real hands on training every day that you are in school, and want get your money’s worth, as well as feel confident in the skills you’ve been trained in to take to your first job, then marinello school of beauty is NOT the school for you. I’ve heard amazing things however, about James Albert and Paul Mitchell for the esthetician program. Marinello talks a good talk, and this location has a great consultation/​sales woman. Don’t let them pressure you into signing up that day, of course they will tell you the new class starts in a week! Don’t be fooled, they let anyone start at any time, therefore, everyone is in different learning stages of the class. Anyway, I could go on, but just don’t go here, save yourself!

all i have to say is STAY AWAY! especially if you’re thinking about being a student! i could go on and on for days, but just take my word for it. DO NOT ENROLL! if you’re thinking about going in for a service, i wouldn’t even give them money for that. until they get their act together, they shouldn’t be open.
