About

The Beauty School is a cosmetology school operated by The Beauty School, LLC. Its doors opened in 2021, after a zoning and state approval process that was held up by the COVID-19 pandemic. The school describes its focus as the business of beauty, not only the technical skills needed to pass a licensing exam.

Students train in a simulated salon environment and divide their time between the classroom and a clinic floor with real clients. The cosmetology program covers hair design, chemical services, skincare, nail care and multicultural practices, along with business and computer principles, product knowledge and other industry topics. The school says graduates keep the client relationships they built during school, which it presents as a head start.

The main program is 1,500 clock hours across three 500-hour semesters, running about 10 months. Classes run Tuesday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. An esthetic-focused program follows the same cosmetology curriculum and adds afternoon esthetics-only theory and practical work, and its students get priority for available facial, waxing, lash, brow and other permitted skin care clinic appointments. A 1,200-hour apprentice option is available to qualified students who complete approved education, then pass State Board examinations, and it requires director approval.

Tuition for the cosmetology program is $20,000 total, including books and a professional kit. A 10% enrollment deposit of $2,000 secures the seat. Paying the balance before class starts brings the program to $18,000 with no additional fees, and a payment plan adds 10% interest to the remaining $18,000 across 10 monthly payments due by the 5th. The full tuition balance must be paid before graduation. The esthetic-focused program totals $21,000 with a $2,100 deposit, or $18,900 paid in full before class starts, with a similar payment plan.

Clinic services are booked by phone at (919) 357-0794, and enrollment questions go to 919-207-7836 or thebeautyschoolmk@gmail.com. Extension pricing requires a complimentary consultation. Children are not permitted on the clinic floor. Minimum ages are 5 for haircuts, 12 for chemical haircare and 13 for skincare, and clients under 18 need a signed parent or guardian consent form and a guardian present for the whole service.

Students learn in a simulated salon and on a working clinic floor with real clients, with a focus on running a beauty business as well as the technical work.
