My heart is aching for you. Contact your state board of cosmetology , and launch a complaint . Also, attend as many trade shows as you can, and stay in their classrooms studying from industry leaders. I am a salon/spa owner, and we see this incompetence from some of these so called schools on a daily basis , because we have to re-train our new hires all over again after schooling .
I am taking this matter of incompetence to the national level, and you will hear discussion soon. In the meantime , ask for help on this forum and anywhere you can find it. If you don't mind, can I use your mail as part of my paperwork to get help from the national level, in helping students like you. I am an email away any time I can help you. The Premiere Show is a good one to attend . The next one is in Orlando in June. Good Luck, Nana Owner of Impressions Hair Care & Spa Serene.
