Our Educational Objectives

Vocational Skills Beauty Colleges 

Cosmetology offers security, financial independence, happiness and work satisfaction. You are invited to visit the colleges to observe and compare the quality of training.

The Beauty business is essentially "people business" and it should be one of your foremost goals to please other people and strive to improve their appearance.  Personal grooming is a private and intimate part of everyone's life.  To be involved in these aspects of another person's life requires patience, maturity and professional training. 

The "KEY" to learning is the desire to learn.

We offer classes in Make-up, Haircutting, Hair coloring, Skin care, Permanent waving, Nails and More !

The majority of student tuition fees for our colleges are paid by the Regional Occupational Program through the local school district.

  Total Student out of pocket cost for cosmetology is $ 2,000.00  paid  in interest free payments as students progress during the course.  Manicure classes are $ 400.00
