As student here, I had felt like this was a great school to attend, everyone (for the most part) was friendly and teachers were always willing to help.
Little by little I noted favortism, I wasn't a favorite, but I wasn't an unfavorite either. I never witnessed it that bad until today. A fellow classmate (so you might wanna watch who you're going to or you could get a drunk haircut), was DRINKING ALCOHOL, on the clinic floor, WHILE SHE WAS DOING A CLIENT.
I have seen them send people home for wearing the wrong uniform, for being accused of being 'hung over' or 'high on drugs' by the simple accusations (no proof) but just the judgement of the teachers.
Today this classmate should not have gotten away with this under any circumstance. I'm literally appauled that she did. The student handbook clearly states that you will be permenantly dimissed for this kind of behavior. The student was clearly intoxicated, and when asked up to the supervisors office the supervisor looked at her and deemed her 'clearly fine' OF COURSE, she was scared sh*tless! She wasn't going to act intoxicated, on the floor there was only one teacher (for over 25 students) so there was no way she would have noticed the clear signs (INCLUDING THE CLASSMATE CLEARLY MENTIONING THAT SHE HAD PUT ALCOHOL IN HER DRINK) this behavior just send me over the edge.
Also, when she had found out that someone had told, I overheard her as she threatened to 'stab' another student.
Do not come to this aveda institute Bainbridge...it's unfair, and literally their reputation is going down the tubes. I'm really just completely shocked, and I really really hate to have to write this because I love it so much, but this is just going too far. the school is completely ludacris, please, go to empire, paul mithchell, venus, but not here, not if you want to be treated fairly, and want your feelings and opinions to matter. All that matters about you here is the check you give them every month.
