Flavia Leal Beauty School Framingham

Flavia Leal Beauty School was founded by a person named Flavia and has been operating for more than 16 years. The school describes its mission as transforming lives through knowledge, and calls itself credible and responsible in education. It has Massachusetts campuses in Woburn, Framingham and Revere, plus a location in Orlando, Florida.

The Massachusetts programs include barber, cosmetology, esthetician, manicure and electrolysis, while the Florida programs are barber, cosmetology, facial specialist and nail specialist. The Massachusetts cosmetology course runs 1,000 hours and covers hair design, color, perms, facial treatments, makeup, waxing and manicure and pedicure, and it includes preparation for the state board exam. Advanced courses are offered only in Massachusetts. The Florida facial specialist and nail specialist programs are set at the minimum hours the Florida Board of Cosmetology requires for a Florida license, and Florida classes are taught in Portuguese with English teaching materials. The Orlando school is licensed by the Florida Commission for Independent Education under license no. 7929.

Services on the menu are performed by students of the school, who open their appointment schedules to clients. Listed treatments include dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, microneedling, chemical peels, a non-invasive body contouring session, lymphatic drainage, several facials, a back facial, and face and body waxing. Advanced facial treatments are one hour and priced at $39 or $49, while the full facial at the Framingham location runs about an hour and a half for $25.

Students who come from abroad can study on a student visa for cosmetology, esthetics and manicure, offered only in Massachusetts. The school handles enrollment paperwork and issues the I-20, but it does not decide visa approval and does not arrange housing. Tuition for these programs is paid monthly after arrival, and classes are held in person with schedules set at the school after arrival.

Costs are listed per program: cosmetology at $14,762, esthetics at $10,335, barber at $14,762, electrolysis at $11,862.62 and manicure at $2,157.74, with discounts listed for full payment and financing options with down payments. Graduates who finish their hours and final tests can apply for a Massachusetts state board exam and professional license. Enrollment needs a valid ID, and a state license requires an ITIN or Social Security number. Contact details, including separate WhatsApp and email lines for Massachusetts and Orlando, are published on the school's site.

Instruction is delivered in Portuguese with all teaching materials in English, and the school presents its courses as education first, with students training on real clients under supervision.
