We are an institution devoted to the training of women and men for careers in beauty culture and to supply employers with professional personnel in the fields of cosmetology and manicuring.

Our facilities are new, modern and up-to-date. The clinic area consists of working stations where students work on customers under the direct supervision of an instructor. Theory classrooms consist of visual aids, chalkboard and library to aid students in learning theory and practical portions of cosmetology and manicuring.

The fields of manicuring and cosmetology are not considered by many to be physically demanding, but you will find that both professions do require a certain amount of stamina. In Cosmetology there is prolonged periods of standing and bending at the waist. In manicuring there is prolonged periods of sitting and bending. The arms and hands in both professions are in constant motion and manual dexterity is required.

Practical classrooms are furnished with working stations for the students to learn practical aspects of the techniques of basic hair styling on mannequins. The school year also includes guest artists and speakers from such companies as Matrix, Redken, Creative Nails and others. These companies conduct advanced classes in permanent waving, hair coloring, artificial nail enhancements and product knowledge.
