Cosmetology Academy Concept

Enroll

Rolling admissions. Five steps, not nine.

We accept applicants on a rolling basis and we don’t run the kind of competitive admissions that gates students out of the work. The goal is to make sure the program is a fit, not to filter for prestige. A tour, an application, a thirty-minute conversation, an enrollment agreement, and a start date.

Steps

The five steps, in order.

01
Tour

Walk the campus first.

Wednesdays at 4pm or Saturdays at 11am. Fifteen-minute window inside a live practical. Coffee is on.

02
Apply

One page, online, free.

No application fee. The form takes about ten minutes once you’ve finished the tour and made up your mind.

03
Talk to a counselor

Thirty minutes about fit.

Goals, schedule, financial picture. We bring the FAFSA worksheet. You bring the questions.

04
Sign

The enrollment agreement.

Tuition number, kit list, schedule. No surprise add-ons. Same document every applicant gets.

05
Start

Show up for cohort orientation.

First week is theory and tool intake. Mannequin work starts week two. Live clients arrive week six.

Tour first, apply second

Watch a practical, then decide.

Every campus tour drops in on a live class — usually a 15-minute window at the back of a practical so you can see what the day actually looks like. It’s the single best signal of whether the program is for you. If the room feels right, the application takes about ten minutes after.
