Faculty & Staff
An important part of our personalized learning approach is small class sizes so students receive generous one-on-one training with our gifted instructors. For Cosmetology and Barbering, the College provides one instructor for every 15 students. For Esthetics, we provide one instructor for every 6 students.
Our instructors have an average of 15 years of professional experience in the field and are well equipped to teach our students the classic and cutting-edge techniques they need to succeed.
