Carousel Beauty College

My tip: Have a backup barber ready! more

I graduated from Carousel in 2008. I have been working in the cosmetology field ever since. I find myself feeling so thankful for the well rounded education I recieved. Each teacher has their specialty and their unique tricks they teach their students that help them be successful in the real world. I learned about hair, nails, make-up, advertising and business from the best. I passed state boards with above average grades. When I get compliments about my skills I usually think back to the instructor that taught me that particular skill and realize how blessed I am to have attended Carousel in Middletown. more

Ok so,I had wrote a statement on here when I was really emotional due to my father being very sick. Well he passed away Oct 13th. And I just want everyone to know, especially if you are considering coming to Middletown, that our teachers are a wonderful group, with knowledge that I look up to as mentors. We have rules, but they are understanding and a wonderful group. They work very hard to make the school better everyday and I have the utmost respect for all of them. And as for Mr. Austin, I COMPLETELY want to take back what I said about him. He is one of the most talented, smart, and awesome person I have ever met. I look up to him as an idol as many other students here do. So if you are considering coming here, I can tell you i have been here for almost a year and we have a wonderful group with many years of knowledge between them, and I have learned soo much. Good luck to all and think positive! Pros: the students, teachers, everyone! Cons: we students need to be more positive! more

I totally agree with the user above. As a current student I would strongly recommend NOT attending this beauty college, unless you feel like being ""taught"" by staff that are older than the hills. Nothing is up to date there, teachers included. You are basically on your own, or taught by other students. It's a waste of $14,000 to sit around all day doing pin curls and fingerwaves over and over again; and getting scolded like you are 5 years old. Forget being treated like an adult, that's out of the question. And forget ever getting the supplies you PAID for on time, you will more than likely get them the day you graduate from that hell hole. They claim to be the top accredited school on the east coast, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The owner is non existant, unless he is stopping by the school to collect someone's tuition check; therefore he leaves the school in the hands of a manager who is not only rude to the students, but also the customers as well. The staff, decor, curriculum, and teaching styles need to be seriously renovated and updated. Once again, I would not recommend this school to anyone who wants to be a professional hairdresser; this school does nothing to prepare you for the ""real life"" in the industry other than how to kiss butt if you want to get anywhere. Cons: staff, manager, lack of concern for students more
