Beauty school is a big time commitment! Whether you’re planning on working while going to school or have other important time commitments during the week, we want to help make your education in beauty possible.  That’s why we offer two full-time program schedules at most of our Florida locations*:  Monday, Wednesday, Friday OR Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

We offer several ways to help pay for your education, including: Scholarships, Financial Aid to those who qualify and payment plans.  During your application process, you will have the opportunity to meet with a Financial Aid Manager who will work with you to come up with a custom plan to pay for school. We know it can be overwhelming at first, but we are here to help you start your career in beauty without anything holding you back!
