Capitol was founded in 1923 by Mrs. Kamreth on Capitol Avenue in downtown Omaha. In 1957 Vi Stehno and Audrey Hunt bought the school and moved it into updated facilities. Lyal and Judy McCaig took over in 1969. Matt and Nancy Meduna acquired the school in 2018; they also own Penrose Academy in Scottsdale, Arizona. That same year the freshman cosmetology classes moved into a new building, and in 2021 the campus expanded to Bel-Air Plaza, where that segment is now housed.
The school offers a cosmetology program and an esthetics program. Freshman cosmetology students spend their first 10 weeks learning cutting, coloring, styling and balayage. Class size is capped at 20 students, and more than 80% of senior cosmetology training is hands-on work with clients on the clinic floor. Students may serve their regular clients and are encouraged to build their own clientele while enrolled. The school lists cosmetology tuition at $20,500, with total tuition and fees at $22,850, and an upfront enrollment deposit of $1,000 that covers a registration fee and a kit fee. Financial aid is determined through the FAFSA and can go toward grants and loans for the remaining costs, and the school also offers scholarships.
The student salon and spa is open to the public and offers hair, color, facials, hydrafacials, hair removal, lash and brow services, extensions and packages. Services are performed by students, so availability depends on their schedules, and prices are set by clinic instructors and may change. Hair prices vary with the product used and with hair length and thickness. Hair extensions must be bought through the school, and a consultation booked by phone is required first. Wedding services are booked through the front desk up to three months ahead, and makeup is not offered for weddings. Before enrolling, prospective students can take a free tour and admissions interview of about 45 minutes at the John Galt Boulevard campus. A two-day lash extension education course, priced at $1,800 with a $900 non-refundable deposit, is open to current students, graduates and licensed cosmetologists and estheticians. The school also holds a student showcase called Vanity and Vision, where each student builds one theme into a complete look. The school says it holds high standards for staff and students, takes part in the national AACS, and keeps up with new teaching methods and industry changes.
Builds a custom curriculum around business and life skills, including how to market yourself, and aims to produce creative professionals rather than technicians.
