HORRID owners. Jeff manning is dishonest and a scam artist, along with his wife Amy. The school itself is beyond unorganized and financially unstable. I attended the esthetics program at Manning Acadamy. After we realized our instructor was not getting paid on time, or only partial payments and got fired for defending herself and for her husband RESPECTFULLY AND THERE ARE WITNESSES, confronted Jeff as well. We (the students) become concerned about where we stood with our hours and education as well as where our tuition money was going if he couldn't pay his employees, (Come to find out it was multiple employees). At that point he brought in his wife Amy to teach after we had a full day in between with no instructor, we had "study time". She came in and assigned us each a part of the chapter to read and then we would teach the rest of the class. Bogus, and it's only day 1. So we walked out to go talk to Jeff. Again with witnesses (basically the rest of the school left for the day) we calmly and respectfully asked him to explain what was happening and a chance to explain our concerns and why we were upset. Jeff ended up getting heated and walking away saying he couldn't talk with us anymore multiple times. You couldn't even get the owner to sit and be straight with you. I'm paying money and a lot of it I demand answers. He and his wife refuse to speak to any of us as a group and insist on doing it individually. We refused to go in and allow 3 people to continue the way they were treating us with no support not to mention it wasn't fair. After days of drama and this last encounter with the group and Jeff he and his wife decided to end the program. After we asked for a written statement and provided one stating we were hostile and terminated. He agreed to a hand out refunds by December 1st and failed to keep his word. I and numerous other girls have tried to contact him and see him in person and each time he's "at the bank " or no body knows where he is. (Yeah we never knew where the owner/instructor was or when he would show including staff, nice right). At this point eat my money, but I hope that nobody else trusts Jeff Manning.

Successful Education Leads to Self Sufficiency (Recipe for Success)

I recently had started Manning Academy of Cosmetolgy, and they have diligently helped me practice walking through the State Boards Practical. Since the practical of the State Boards has changed, when in the process Jeff Manning, owner; Sheryl Foster, Professor; and other instructors took the trip to Seattle, Wa where they had a one day seminar to see exactly what their students where going to need to pass this cosmetology stateboard exam...point is they care about each student, and their success; their students success to self-sufficiency! The structured atmosphere leaves no room for unorganized education instruction, and the focus & goals that the Professors have in mind for each student. If you choose this school know that they will work out a schedule that well be accomodating to you, oh yes one more thing, parking is free, and there is lots of it! May you truly use your wisdom, and choose well.... this school will help you to suceed!!!

I recently came back to Vancouver via "ROADTRIP" and was in need of an eyebrow wax. I thought I would go into the school for a quick wax and was amazed bt the spa like treatment. All of my stress from the recent move just melted away in the private dark area. Aroma therapy and soothing music....A+
