Academy of Beauty Professionals: Green Bay

All I can say is first impressions are huge! This was our first time here for a quick haircut for my daughter and we almost walked out. Is there no dress code for the students? I saw half dressed girls wearing next to nothing. Literally saw cheeks hanging out because her dress was so short. Sweats that could be pajamas. And the amount of swearing was crazy too! I was there with my child! One and done for sure! The lack of respect and professionalism was crazy! The building itself is outdated and dirty as well. Definitely not worth a $15 trim. And definitely DO NOT bring kids to this establishment.

Attending the Academy of Beauty Professionals has been a deeply disappointing experience, and I cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to anyone seeking quality education or reliable beauty services. Despite the promises made during enrollment, my time at this institution left me feeling unprepared for a real career, and the environment itself fell far short of professional standards. To begin with, the educational approach at this school is severely lacking. The curriculum is more of a cursory overview than a comprehensive training program. We were often given busy work that consumed our time without truly enhancing our understanding or practical skills. This approach left little room for meaningful study, making it difficult to retain the information needed to pass exams or feel confident in our abilities. It was not uncommon for us to be assigned multiple projects while simultaneously cramming critical course content into short periods, leaving us consistently underprepared. Adding to this challenge was the constant shortage of supplies, even after we had earned our certifications, which limited our ability to practice and refine our skills. The esthetician program, in particu

Extremely disappointed with the conditions at Academy of Beauty Professionals. Every time I’ve been in there’s no hot water in the women’s restroom which is completely unsanitary. The pedicure spa area is falling apart with broken tiles and the foot baths barely have hot water half the time making it uncomfortable and honestly not clean. The students are working incredibly hard but they’re stuck in dirty conditions with barely any working equipment. It’s not fair to them and not safe for clients either. Last time I was there the entire place smelled like marijuana. Last I checked that’s still illegal in Wisconsin especially in a school setting. It’s completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I will be contacting the state department and OSHA to report these issues. This place needs to be held accountable for the safety of the students and clients.

Starting a cosmetology career in my early 30s was very uncomfortable for me at this establishment. It was already a significant shift in career but the faculty made the situation even more of a pain. Most of the instructors communicated with adult students as if we were children. The curriculum was always conflicting w/ what the instructors were teaching . In my opinion the enrollment specialist was always having an alleged meltdown & would very strangely establish a “friendship” with students to find out what they’ve uncovered about the school so that she can help the owners strategize against them… the clipper cuts were mainly given to the barber students, the black clients were mainly pushed off on the black students from my personal experience…. In my opinion the school used their observation of certain students skill sets & placed them with clients based off their own preexisting knowledge of services , rather than what was taught… I felt extremely uncomfortable with the esthetician instructor she was very knowledgeable in my opinion, however very disrespectful & it didn’t help being enrolled with so many younger students I think they felt all the more comfortable to talk to

My experience was rough going to school here, but there's pros and cons at every school/beauty school out there. But the bullying, racism, vaping in performance area, not enough supplies for everyone, very messy and teachers sometimes are rude-pick favorites or even talk about their private sexual life to students and than the Boards are not up to date or fixing broken or frayed things. I graduated in July so things might have changed but my friend still goes here and hope she has better experiences. I do enjoy Taylor the admissions director and there's good qualities to all instructors. But even studying for the Boards was hard due to instructors and board teaching different things. I think it's a good school overall if you're not there for too long sadly. I do think they offer decent things, skin products and some students im glad I have met. But not being able to sell products, practice reception, or even be able to offer clients water kinda sucked but again I was given good materials to study from and did very good on my boards. Study the website as well!! And the tests were great and they did try to keep up to date on all students as much as they could. I'd love to say more
