Going from Irvine to Santa Ana seems like a downgrade. Sorry!
Irvine is, for the most part, a place for wealthy professionals with post-secondary degrees– probably not much demand for a cosmetology school there. Rents is probably much higher in Irvine too, and Santa Ana is more centrally located to serve all of Orange County. So actually, there are tons of reasons moving to Santa Ana might be a good business decision and not a downgrade. But I know you don’t really care about that, you just wanted to be incendiary and bash Santa Ana for a cheap laugh.
