DAWN TILL DUSK Make-up training center scammers with NEW STORE: YIN YANG COSMETICS YIN YANG COSMETICS OPEN FOR BUSINESS AGAIN!!! Verona, New Jersey
I was one of the few scammees caught up in the middle of all this and
today I came to find out that Dawn Park has opened another location with
a different name"YingYang Cosmetics" at 1 Mt. Prospect Avenue, Verona,
New Jersey, 07044 (Inside Healing Zone
Spa)
. Still offering the 40 hrs "classes" for $2400 .
Now, Russ Park was RE-Arrested last year. After serving 18 months in jail and then parolled, as some sources are stating, he was arrested again for conning someone for 30K !!!
Here's the web-site:
http://yinyangcosmetics.com/shop/62-40-hour-advanced-makeup-artistry-techniques
Now I ask...if she doesn't have a license, its against the law in NJ, how can Dawn Park still be teaching and open a RETAIL business in NJ and probably ripping off more people???
Heres excerpts of the hearing from the NJ Board of Cosmetology.
If you scroll to section VI, item 9, and you'll read this from the NJ State Board of Cosmetology:http://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/cosmetology/minutes/cos213.htm

9. Complaints received from students of Dawn Til Dusk, an unlicensed facility conducting 40 hours of make-up application, stating that the facility failed to conduct lessons and to refund money was presented to the Board for consideration.
The Office of Consumer Protection informed the Board that Dawn Til Dusk offered a 40 hour make-up course in Bloomfield, New Jersey and throughout cities in the United States. The cost of the make-up course was $1,600.00 dollars and $800.00 for the make-up kit.
About 20 registrants who registered online or by telephone and paid by credit card complained that when they called to confirm the class they were told that the class was postponed or cancelled.
Additionally, some of the students
noted that additional money was taken from their credit card accounts
without their authorization.
The classes were either
scheduled at the New Jersey facility or at a hotel in the state where
the course was being offered. The students stated that when they arrived
at the hotel, the hotel had no knowledge or record of Dawn til Dusk
having scheduled a make-up course at their hotel. No refund was given to
the complainants.
It appears that Dawn Til Dusk did not meet any of the exceptions to offer courses in cosmetology and hairstyling without a school license in particular N.J.S.A. 45:5B-7, N.J.S.A. 45:5B-8 and N.J.S.A. 45:5B-10. The Board stated that the offering of a 40 hour make-up course without the benefit of a duly authorized school license violates N.J.S.A. 45:5B-12(g) in that the application of cosmetic preparation when done for payment either directly or indirectly or when done without payment for the general public falls within the definition of beauty culture N.J.S.A. 45:5B-3(d) and cosmetology and hairstyling N.J.S.A. 45:5B-3(j).
Upon motion made by Ms. Janice Alvarez and seconded by Ronald Brown, this matter is to be referred to The Office of Consumer Protection and Essex County Prosecutorfs Office for prosecution to enjoin Dawn Til Dusk from offering any make up courses and to obtain restitution for the affected students. The motion passed unanimously.

I once took part in a class taught by Dawn Park and don't feel scammed at all; and after reading your "rip off report" I don't see how you feel scammed. All because she wasn't licensed? Many makeup artists aren't licensed, but that doesn't mean that they don't have the talent, experience, knowledge and drive to pass on what they know and prepare you to be equally as qualified and knowledgeble in the industry. To have a cosmetology license primarily consists of you mastering the art of doing hair along with a TOUCH of cosmetics, nails and esthetician work. To truly be a makeup artist you almost don't want to be a licensed cosmetologist because, we don't do hair! Dawn til Dusk focused on applying make up and makeup only. I have learned the science behind my art and I have mastered my craft because of this school. And the certificate I received upon completion of my courses has been acknowledged by every future employer thus far....I guess to each their own? ....
