Financial aid is available for those who qualify, and there are also affordable payment plans to help with tuition if you don’t get aid. Students are guided through the process of applying for FAFSA and can get information about different scholarships and loan programs too. This helps make the training more accessible, no matter your financial background.
The barber program is offered in two options: a 1,000-hour and a 1,500-hour course. During these hours, you'll get hands-on training in real salon settings, practicing skills like haircutting, shaving, skin care, and beard grooming with actual clients under instructor supervision. You'll also learn state board procedures and sanitation so you’re prepared for the licensing exam and real-life work after graduation.
The 600-hour esthetics program focuses only on skin care, facials, waxing, and basic makeup, so it’s a shorter, more targeted path to becoming a licensed esthetician. Other options, like cosmetology or barbering, take longer—1000 to 1500 hours—because they cover more subjects, including hair cutting, coloring, styling, and sometimes nails too. If you want just skin care, the 600-hour esthetics course is what you need. For a broader license that lets you work with hair or nails as well, you’d go for one of the longer programs.
Day and evening classes are available to help students fit school into their schedule. This makes it easier to balance work, family, or other commitments while training. Availability of day or evening classes depends on the campus and the program, so it’s a good idea to check with the admissions team for the latest schedule information.

There is job placement support and career guidance available after graduation. Students get help with building their professional portfolios, exploring career options, and preparing for job interviews. Training also covers how to prepare for state board exams, build a client base, and even start a business, like opening a salon or barbershop. The goal is to make sure students are ready to step into the beauty industry with skills and confidence.
The nail technician (manicuring) program covers topics like nail care basics, manicures, pedicures, nail art, safety and sanitation, and how to use professional nail tools. You practice real services on clients in the student salon, including things like acrylics, gel manicures, nail extensions, nail shaping, cuticle care, and overall hand and foot treatments. The program also includes training on customer service, California state laws for nail salons, and tips for starting your own business. All lessons combine classroom study with hands-on practice so you build skills and confidence to pass the state board exam and work with real clients.
Instructors here are experienced professionals who genuinely know the beauty industry and teach using up-to-date methods. Students get supervised, hands-on practice working with real clients in student salons, all under close guidance from instructors. This real-world experience is part of every program and helps build skills and confidence before entering the workforce.
