Just pay a deposit of 500, you can't see if this is cheating. I can only say that it may or may not be. You can ask him: Why should I pay the deposit? What is the significance of paying the deposit? When will the deposit be refunded? If I don't study, can I refund the deposit ... no matter what I know before, I can eliminate many unnecessary misunderstandings. Many things are not necessarily scams, but people feel cheated, because they always feel a little inconsistent or something. So just ask and understand. If you want to learn beauty, you can choose to be an apprentice in a shop or choose a special training school. As an apprentice in a shop, their main purpose is not to let you learn to leave at once, but to help others and teach you by the way. The main job is to help. If you study in school, you may need some necessary investment in the early stage, but you can learn it quickly, then work as soon as possible, and then go to work in a beauty salon, so you don't have to do it again. Personally, I think studying in the shop is a waste of time. In the long run, studying at school is better than studying in a shop. I'm Miss Wang from Mengnina Beauty & Hairdressing Training School.
