LOS ANGELES (Legal Newsline) – A Los Angeles cosmetology school is facing a class action lawsuit from a student unhappy with her results.
Ashley Mays sued Nurtur Los Angeles on July 10 in Los Angeles County Superior Court, and the defendant recently removed the case to L.A. federal court.
The suit says Nurtur promised an “industry-leading education” in esthetics and cosmetology but didn’t deliver on its job-placement promises.
“In hindsight, Nurtur’s efforts to hide its poor performance are unsurprising, for the school failed to deliver on even basic statutory requirements,” the suit says.
The school falsely certifies the completion of its course to state authorities, the suit says. Students received little to no instruction, it adds.
“In effect, Nurtur’s ‘students’ functioned as an unpaid workforce who ran the school and serviced Nurtur’s paying customers while receiving no compensation in return,” the suit says.
