Students, staff blindsided by Oxnard beauty school closure
After decades of preparing the next generation of professionals in the beauty industry, Modern Beauty Academy in Oxnard closed Aug. 28 with no advance notice. Last month, students and staff showed up to the 699 S. C St. campus to begin their day only to find the front doors locked and a sign informing them that the school was permanently closed. The abrupt ending came the same day the company filed for bankruptcy after allegedly failing to pay staff for several months. “It’s been here for years, and it’s a pillar of the community, so for them to close it like that was just dead wrong,” manager Kalven Harrison said. “It’s a horrible loss, and it has affected and hurt a lot of different people.” The institution had about 70 students and 15 employees across its cosmetology, barbering and nail programs, according to sources. Denise Hooper, owner of Modern Beauty Academy, declined interview requests and did not respond to emailed questions, instead providing a written statement. “We regret any inconvenience and hardship this may have caused our students, employees, instructors and their families but believe this course of action was necessary based on the company’s current financial condition,” she wrote.
