Precision Point School of Cosmetology

Precision Point School of Cosmetology has operated in Fairview Heights, Illinois, since 2003. Its stated mission is to give every student a high-quality education and training, an ethical understanding of the cosmetology industry, and the preparation to earn their credentials and build a lasting career in the field.

The cosmetology program requires 1,500 hours of training to qualify for an Illinois cosmetology license. Students can finish in as few as eight months or take up to two years, and classes are offered both virtually and in person. Cosmetology classes meet Monday through Thursday, and the school offers flexible scheduling for both part-time and full-time students. The school also runs continuing education classes for licensed professionals on the last Sunday of each month.

Haircut prices start at $20, shampoo and blow dry is $15, a basic roller set or silk press is $35, highlights or lowlights start at $65, and perms and relaxers are $65. Appointments need to be booked at least 24 hours ahead, though same-day openings can be checked through the online booking link. The school describes itself as the lowest priced cosmetology school in St. Clair County and the St. Louis area, and says it has the highest rate of State Board passing cosmetologists; these are its own claims.

Education-first: the school focuses on thorough training, an ethical understanding of the industry and preparing students to earn their credentials and sustain a career.
