I started this barber academy on March 1st ******************************************* class I was being targeted by the owner ****** who calls himself ***********. He would constantly call me outside to speak with me on things that really didnt make any sense or really made me feel comfortable. He mentioned that he didnt want any females in his class and that is total discrimination. ****** called me out of his class ************************************************************************************************************************************************************* and I told him that was unprofessional as a teacher he went on to say he was suspending me and said I didnt speak to him when I walked into his class. I proceeded to gather my things and leave and asked them to send me my money that I paid in which I paid all the way to the month on June I still havent received anything from this business. I bought a milady barber book on march 5 2024 and received it the day he suspended me from school on April 18 2024. ****** also discriminated against 3 other women who took the course with me and they also quit the school because of him he lost 5 students on that day including one gay male who he targeted every chance he got a few days later he lost 3 more students in total of 8 people. He never teaches anything to his students and he stays on the phone in his office all day and he would leave the school for hours and would ask me to watch the class as if I was an instructor. He ask he barber students to instruct his class and he will pay them. He would get mad at me when other classmates would ask me for help because hes never around and he lets new students cut clients hair without guidance and helping them. I was attending that school for over a month and didnt learn anything from it. ****** also asked the class did we want to get a free 8 hours by giving the 5 stars on ******* After a week of starting school at *** they closed down 1 week for spring breakBusiness response
