Bella Beauty College is a beauty school with a salon open to the public at its San Antonio location, which is one of seven Bella locations. The school describes itself as a leading beauty school in San Antonio. Salon services are performed by cosmetology students, and licensed instructors oversee the work.
The school offers three training programs. Cosmetology is 1000 clock hours, about 6.5 months of full-time attendance, and moves through three phases: basics, supervised clinic work on clients, and exam preparation. Students then take a written and practical state exam at a testing center designated by Texas to earn a license. The esthetician program is 750 clock hours, about 4.5 months full-time, and covers terminology, sanitation, client safety, microdermabrasion certification and Texas state law and industry standards. The nail technician program is 600 clock hours, about 3.5 months full-time, and covers manicures, pedicures, nail extensions, gel polish and acrylics.
Visiting the salon is walk-in friendly, with no appointment needed for services. Final pricing depends on the service and factors such as hair length, hair condition and number of colors, and is quoted during consultation. Simple services should be booked to arrive at least 30 minutes before closing, and chemical services at least 2 hours before closing. Children may be on the clinic floor only when receiving a service with a parent or guardian, and they may not wait alone in the retail area. Birthdays, quinceañeras and bridal parties can be booked by calling the salon, and gift certificates are available and can be customized.
Admission requires a student to be at least 16 years old. Students who have not finished high school must pass a Texas equivalency test before completing their program, which the school arranges on site. Day and evening classes are offered at most locations, schedules can be customized, and high school students can attend under a set schedule. Spanish-language classes are offered, and the website is available in Spanish.
The school is approved by the American Association of Cosmetology Schools, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the Texas Workforce Commission and the Department of Veteran Affairs. Financial assistance includes payment options, seasonal scholarships and performance scholarships. The school also offers continuing education, support and career placement assistance. Citing U.S. Labor Department statistics, the school states that the average starting salary for a cosmetologist is around $28,000, that the average cosmetologist salary in Texas is $47,450, and that there are an average of three jobs for each cosmetology graduate. Admissions office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm.
Students build skills through supervised clinic work on real clients, with licensed instructors overseeing every service.
