Cosmetology School At Maricopa Skill Center

This school is an absolute mess, especially the cosmetology program. There’s not enough staff to run the program right, there over worked and underpaid. The director, Gayla could care less about anything to do with your education and has discriminating practices, don’t bother going to upper administration because they won’t do anything. In fact, when I filed a grievance, she was promoted. Maricopa Skill Center is payed for by our tax dollars and I can not believe they have got away with what they are doing for so long. I graduated and, like many students, my student account is still being charged. Find a better school!

At first I had my reservations about my son attending this program. I wanted him to go to the best school no matter the cost. But he did his research and decided on this one. If most programs give you just enough information to get you through the state test then why not go to a community college that financial aid pays for instead of a school that leaves you $ 25,000 in debt. That was his initial reasoning behind choosing this school. Soon after starting here he learned that the whole cosmetology program has recently been revamped. They cleaned house and brought in new teachers, books and up graded equipment. The student kit is huge. Its actually bigger then all the other student kits I’ve seen. Unlike other schools they don’t just teach one line of product. They work with all the top products on the market. The teachers have a variety of cosmetology experience that helps students grasp the wide range of opportunities that are available to them. I’m grateful to this school and the awesome instructors for making my son’s experience here a truly great one. Most schools teach students only enough to pass the state test but this school goes above and beyond. I recommend Maricopa Skill Center’s Cosmetology course to all students looking for more then just basic instruction. They give students all the keys to a great career.
