Admissions and Enrollment FAQs

What programs do you offer?

Our Michigan beauty school campuses offer training in cosmetology and cosmetology instruction. Our Royal Oak campus also provides training for estheticians and esthetics instruction. All of our courses are designed to provide aspiring beauty professionals with both the practical training and real-world experience they need to pursue licensure and their dream careers.

How soon can I complete my beauty school education?

It depends on the course you take and which schedule you opt for. However, esthetics students can complete their training in as little as 20 weeks, and cosmetology students can finish in as little as a year.
