I started going to Lake Forest Beauty College in September '09 when it was under old ownership. It felt like a boot camp and the owner was an ex-military man so you now how that went. I am only a couple weeks away from graduating and I have seen dramatic improvements. The new owner has done so many great things that I never would have imagined we would have had when I first started here. She has expanded the building so the cosmeticians and cosmetologists are separated now and have their own space including a large break-room. They have welcomed 2 new teachers onto the staff who were previous platform artists with a Paul Mitchell background. They bring more of the salon aspect. The other 2 teachers focus mainly on state board, our school has an extremely high passing rate. We are also a Redken Premier school so we carry, sell, and use Redken products. We do a lot of in school fashion shows but we also do outside education that includes doing hair and make-up for runway shows and photo-shoots. I'm going to be sad when I graduate and have to leave here. I will never forget my beauty college experience, I can truly thank the new owner for changing things for the better.
Pros: New owndership, new staff, new building add ons
Cons: not all the changes are completed yet
