What You Love in Beauty!

We’re passionate about teaching cosmetology students the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in a future in beauty. You can learn in a supportive environment where the curriculum is designed around you. We help students build a core set of skills and then allow them to refine their technique in the areas they are most passionate about.

Cosmetology courses start every four weeks at State College of Beauty Culture, and students attending our full-time courses can complete the program in less than a year.

Our Cosmetology Program

Our cosmetology program is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to work in the beauty industry. Our experienced instructors provide hands-on training in a supportive environment, allowing you to build a foundation of beauty skills. You can have an opportunity to practice those skills on real clients under the supervision of licensed professionals in our beautiful on-site salon. This allows you to gain real-world experience, build your confidence, and prepare for a future career in a salon or spa.
