About

CEN Beauty Academy offers state-approved programs in cosmetology (1000 hours), esthetics (600 hours), manicuring and nailtech (400 hours), hairstyling (600 hours) and teacher training (600 clock hours). The school says its mission is to provide industry-validated education in a positive and professional setting. Program content is described as covering the technical and practical subjects set by the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.

Schedules vary by program. Esthetics runs on a day schedule Monday through Wednesday from 8:30am to 2pm, or an evening schedule Tuesday through Thursday from 5:15pm to 10pm, taking about 8.3 or 9.3 months. Cosmetology is offered part-time on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30am to 4:45pm and takes about 10 to 11 months. The hairstylist program is 42 weeks on Tuesday through Thursday evenings. Manicuring takes about 3.9 to 6 months with day and evening options, and teacher training takes about 7 to 10 months. Classes are described as starting monthly.

Training moves step by step. Students first practice on mannequins and classmates, then on family and friends in the early levels, and later on clients as they advance. They work with professional equipment commonly found in salons. Manicuring students prepare for the State Board exam through mock board exams. Esthetics covers skin analysis, cleansing, exfoliation, facials, Dermafile, electrotherapy, LED, makeup and hair removal, and the esthetics instructor is described as CIDESCO trained.

Enrollment begins with an appointment with an Admission Advisor. Applicants need a high school diploma or GED, a driver's license or government photo ID, and a Social Security card, and hairstylist applicants also pay a deposit. The school participates in the California ETPL program, accepts vouchers from EDD, WIOA, rehabilitation and insurance agencies, and refers applicants who may qualify for WIOA funding to rivcoworkforce.org. Graduates receive a Certificate of Completion and may take the State Board examination; the license itself is granted by the State of California after the exam is passed. The school does not guarantee a job but helps with job searches, resumes, interview skills and employer follow-up.

Salon and spa services are performed by students under instructor supervision. Prices are set after consultation, and menus and prices may change without notice. Highlights and color services require a consultation first, and clients must be over 16 for services, with chemical services also requiring a parent to accompany a client aged 16 or 17. Consultations and campus tours are by appointment only, booked by calling or texting 951-212-7030. Stand-alone certified classes include eyelash extensions, dermaplaning, body waxing, Brazilian waxing, brow and lash tinting, brow lamination, lash lift and the Advanced Esthetics Program, and some require the student to bring a model.

Education comes first: students build skills gradually, moving from practice heads and classmates to paying clients as they progress through the levels.

The school describes its aim as a positive and professional environment for students and guests.
