Bizarre. My experience with BMC was wicked. It was in the hair program though, so maybe that was the difference.
We totally got trained in everything I could think of regarding the whole industry...not just working in a salon, but all kinds of stuff. Photo shoots, fashion shows, Film Sets, *and* salon Work.
Our instructors were the most supportive group of people I've ever met. I've never seen such positive, skilled and fun people in a work environament before. They are crazy overworked, but man do they get it done.
Sorry your expeirence with the Fashion program was no good...come over to Hair :)
