Your career starts with a tour.

Every one of our students started right here. In about 45 minutes you’ll see students at work on the salon floor and leave knowing which program fits, when you could start, and what it would really cost.

1 · Talk it through

Sit down with our President, Gayle, about which program fits, day or evening schedules, and start dates.

2 · Walk the floor

See the classrooms and the student salon while classes are running, and ask current students anything.

3 · See your numbers

Meet our financial aid director on the same visit, so you know your real cost before you leave.

Tuition & financial aid

Most of our students borrow far less than they expect.

We participate in federal financial aid, including Pell Grants and Direct Loans, and many students use PA CareerLink, WIOA, scholarships or an institutional payment plan. Financial aid is available for those who qualify.
