FAQ for First day and Beyond:

  • What do you bring on the first day?

    First and foremost: bring a smile and great attitude! Also remember to bring any paperwork requested by financial aid or the business office. Bring a notebook, pen, and a personal technical device (laptop or tablet).

  • What to wear?

    You will receive a uniform shirt during orientation. Wear black pants or a skirt, black closed-toe shoes, and ensure your hair, skin, and nails are groomed.

    Your daily uniform requirements for the regular term will be reviewed during orientation.

  • What to expect the first week(s)?

    A lot of fun! It can be overwhelming, but we are here to help. There will be a lot of information given to you, so don’t be surprised if you are called back to an instructor office or asked to speak with an administrator. There are seemingly endless compliance requirements, so completing and submitting paperwork on time and handling all elements of your enrollment in a timely way will make your experience at L’esprit Academy smoother. You will receive a checklist so you can visit every station we have setup, check off the items and make sure everything is done!

  • Who will be the teacher?

    Prior to your first week of class, you’ll receive an email with a schedule and information about your instructor.

  • What should I plan for food?

    There are refrigerators and microwaves at both campuses. Both campuses are also close to dine-in or take-out restaurants. Outdoor seating options with benches and picnic tables are available.

  • Where to park?

    At our Canton location, you can find parking along the side of the buildings at both the Training & Headquarters side and the Student Salon side. We recommend parking in the corner lots.
