This college not only provides information that needs to be learned in order to pass state board, but also includes lessons for real life situations. I started school towards the end of May and not even a month into it I was able to successfully trim and layer the interior of my friend's hair. After a couple more weeks I had done two successful color corrections, and two beautiful bleach and high-lift tint weaves. In response to all the negative reviews, such might be attributed to the previous militaristic owner and the cheap fashion in which the school was designed. However, it has recently undergone new ownership, along with additions to the staff, and a soon to be finished complete reconstruction. I enjoy every day I spend at school, although I am missing my summer I know I am graduating from the right school. As my first semester and time spent as a Freshman is coming to an end, I can see a huge transformation and am looking forward to how amazing it is turning out.
Although I have just started school and have many months to go, I feel confident with the logistics of a salon, the chemical processes that hair goes through, basic cutting techniques and most of the world of hair color. Not only does Lake Forest Beauty College (soon to be renamed Athena) fully educate a prospective Cosmetologist for state board and the outside world, they regularly have guest speakers that offer classes for specific interests, such as eyelash extensions, hair extensions, events such as hair shows, etc. There is even an opportunity to participate in what is essentially an honors program in which one has the chance to regularly practice state board procedures in a mock state board environment and learn additional information that may be too advanced for some. Do not take previous writers' words on this school, it is transforming into something new and has already taken a great leap in becoming a more professional, enjoyable atmosphere.
