Is This ATL-area Beauty School Owner Scamming Her Students? | TSR Investigates

It’s a beauty school, but the allegations are ugly. Aspiring estheticians at the Hudson Academy claim they paid the school thousands of dollars for an education, but got backdoored instead. Their teachers quit and the students quickly realized they weren’t learning a thing- but when students spoke out about the issue, they say the school expelled them and threatened legal action. The battle is heating up, so we decided to investigate: is this beauty academy running a botched operation, or is it all just a rough patch?

It is important to look at BBB, tour school, and look at all reviews. I totally SKIPPED this school and so many like it. I opted for one with a REAL history, and that included the board exam prep. Needless to say, I received all certificates and passed both written and clinical exams. I wish these ladies luck
