Campus financial aid failed to request final disbursement of loan prior to my graduation. therefore resulting in a collection notice in the mail.
This campus also failed to provide a consistent instructor to the night program for cosmetology. From July- November I didn't not have a consistent instructor, we would be notified either the day of or a day prior to class on who will be in to substitute. Proper theory was failed to be provided. None of our theory or practical was examined to see if they were completed properly.
They failed to keep track and file practical hours which are to be recorded by instructor as part of graduation requirements.
They provide unqualified registrar/financial aide that was unable to keep paperwork organized, that failed to file paperwork correctly, that failed to file paperwork on time, and failed to properly explain terms and conditions of the contract during enrollment.

Honestly there is so much this campus had failed to do but most important this campus has failed to provide an adequate education to their students. they falsely present themselves at higher standard which in reality they have none and this campus provides no structure in the education system.

So if any current or former students from Marinello from either the San Mateo campus or any other campus wants to join in pursing a Class Action lawsuit. Please Email your name, campus, and a statement regarding your experience. If you prefer to be anonymous but would still like to send a statement please make note of it in the email and i will keep your info confidential. Please help stop this school from misleading student into putting themselves in debt just to make their dreams come true.

Hello Jennifer,
My name is Deanna, and I cannot explain in this email what I have gone through, and still going through because of this BS! I can better explain it on the phone, so if you want to text me maybe we can get together and hold some people responsible!
I am familliar with the law! I won't stop fighting and trying to find a way so justice is served! I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Deanna Clark

We had the same issues here in Las Vegas. I graduated last year from Marinello, Las Vegas Henderson campus. I have been trying to hold them accountable for all of their misleadings, lack of training, with holding portions of my finacial aide while also, charging me 100$ monthly fee to the school. In light of their recent closure in February 2016. The open letter of charges from the department of education really shed light on a long list of state and federal laws they broke. This has been going on for years. Not to mention the lack of training we received. This is all ethically wrong and over all educational malpractice. I would like to add information to anyone that may be getting a lawsuit going. I have already filed a BORROWERS DEFENSE TO REPAYMENT CLAIM to hopefully get my finacial aide loans forgiven. The State Board Of Cosmetology needs to be held accountable too. They knew that Marinello was only prepping students for state board.

There's the link to the accusations letter. I have been trying to get a class action started for over a year and have hit dead ends. We can stand together and hold Marinello and B&H Education held accountable for all their wrong doings. mattykim14@gmail.com

Was really a let down as I felt like I had little to no education. Coming from the San Mateo campus we had a least 7 different teachers so education was horrible and organization was lacked! As being it was a "private" school and how much it was you would think it would of had the best of the best. It was the total opposite.

Finacial Aid gave 15000 to Marinello and tuition was 22000 but they did not disbursed some of the finacial aid money because I still owe 10000 but I also payed monthly 100 so i should only be paying 6-7thousand. Thank god I don't have to pay for my hours missed any more that would have been another 9000 they where charging me due to the fact I was missing so much because I had just been diagnosed with epilipsey and I was still charged even with doctors note.

Amber Lester Marinello Anaheim campus
I always felt like i was being over charged for my kit and make up hours. When i saw now much financial aid i was getting i didnt understand why i had to pay so much for make up hours, i was told financial aid didnt cover them. Also some of the instructors were very unprofessional. I loved the director she seemed like and really card about me but i do feel like the school was a bit of a money scam.

I have a lot to say but keeping it to my self the most important is that they charged me for a bunch that I never received . All I know is that they would call me in the room to sign checks from financial aid made to my name and said that it was their to keep . The teaching I did it on my own basically because I was eager to pass my test wich was the easy part for because I gave it 100 % but when i came out to the actual salon experience and being able to get a job in a reputable place I was not good enough or experience enough. That's when I realized that they thought me nothing.. I have a hold on my wages because i can make my payment back to the financial aid .If any one can help me plz let me know

I went to campus in Ontario ca and towards the end of my 1600 hours they started making changes for the worse letting instructors go that actually cared about the students and keeping that ones that were there for a pay check stopped grad back so once we were done with hours there was no preparing for state board everything I was promised when I enrolled did not happen and they say well the school has to cut back I will never recommend Marinello to anyone
