QYPE*

I have been to the T&G academy a few times.
These are the bullet points:

1) The staff (receptionists etc) are incredibly rude and really act as though you are someone common for going there and not to an actual salon

2) The standard of your cut depends on which trainee you are luck or unlucky enough to be placed with. Some have trained for 3 years and other have trained for 6 weeks

3) The cuts take 3 hours and that is for a basic trim & blowdry NOT a re-style

4) A very crucial point-they scissors they use are blunt which as many of you know, results in the person (i.e me & you) ending up with a head full of split ends as hair MUST be cut with extremely sharp scissors in order for it not to break and split the day after

5) I have had trainees who hands have violently shaken.
I have had pleasant, sweet dressers and also rude, arrogant dressers

6) In between each section you must wait for the teachers and depending on who their favourite trainees are, you can wait for a very long time before they come to check on you

7) The final straw for me at this academy was on Thursday.I booked an appointment for me and my sister to celebrate my mother's birthday in style. We are both students and will be broke until we finish our degrees.
I rang up on the morning just to check something and made my way there.
We had both taken the day off as appointment are only early in the day.
When we arrived, the fat receptionist with the bobbed haircut was very rude to us and put us in a bad mood but we were willing to be polite and let it go.
We waited in the line for 15 minutes before the director came to a large group of us and told us we would not be getting our hair cut as their trainees were in Europe and had not turned up.
I, along with some other angry people said that was not good enough and couldn't their advanced students trim our hair as we had come all that way.
He said no. His advanced students do not trim hair and they were not willing to do that.
He didn't seem remotely sorry & simply said that was the way it was and we could bok in for another day.
he then walked off & started talking to his friends.
We were so angry.
They didn't offer to cover our travel fairs or give us a sample of shampoo as a good will gestre.
I had rung an hour before & they didn't mention that the trainees were in germany. She just let us waste all that time and money.

I will never go there again and I will tell all my student, reporter and model friends never to go there again.
Word will spread and they will regret treating us that way.
