Clients visit the student salon and spa at the Willow Pass Road building. Every salon and spa service is performed by a student under the supervision of a licensed instructor. Appointments can be requested online or by phone, and a team member contacts the client to confirm a time. Hair prices are starting rates set for shoulder-length hair, with $5 added for each two inches of length below the shoulders and another $5 for thick hair. Hair pricing can change after an instructor reviews the hair and gives a quote. Chemical perms include a haircut and a wet set or blow dry with a simple style, and more elaborate styling such as up-dos or heavy marcel work carries an extra charge. Relaxer retouches cover one inch of new growth, and anything beyond that is priced as a virgin relaxer.
A few services come with their own conditions. Braids, sew-ins, glue-ins, keratin treatments and tape-ins are booked only by appointment, priced by quote, and the price does not cover hair. Clients booking skin or spa work for a chemical peel should have a patch test done at least 24 hours in advance. Anyone taking a prescription such as Retin A, Renova, Accutane, Sotret, Amnesteem or Clarivis is asked to let the college know before a treatment. For makeup, clients supply their own foundation and mascara. Hot stone back treatments must be scheduled in advance so the stones can be readied. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, seniors get 20 percent off chemical waves and straightening. According to the college, nail appointments are available Tuesday to Thursday from 10 am to 8:30 pm, Friday from 9:30 am to 5 pm, and Saturday from 8:30 am to 5 pm.
To enroll, applicants provide an official high school transcript or diploma, or a GED certificate or scores. Transfer of hours or credits from previous coursework can be requested with official transcripts. The college publishes a 2025 catalog covering admissions, tuition, financial services, curriculum and academic progress, along with consumer disclosures such as cost of attendance, an annual report, school performance fact sheets and a FERPA policy. The college holds BPPE Approval to Operate under the California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009.
Education-first: training is built around the state board exam and a career in beauty, and salon and spa work is done by students under licensed instructor supervision.
