Training and Preparation

You’ll use your workstation to practice on mannequins, learn the fundamentals of running a salon, and work one-on-one with our experienced instructors—beauty professionals who have been in the industry for years and come from all over the country to teach our students. The world of hairstyling is always evolving. Having access to our experienced instructors provides valuable insight to:
Cutting
Coloring
Shampooing
Styling
Perms
Manicures
Pedicures
And More!
By fulfilling your training, we will help you prepare for the state practical and written exams by giving you a practice exam in a setting you are familiar with—our student-run salon and spa.
Chattanooga Cosmetology School
After your classroom training, you’ll graduate to our onsite salon. The state requires a 1:20 teacher-to-student ratio, but we are proud to go above and beyond with a 1:10 teacher-to-student ratio! Someone will always be available to answer any questions you have as you learn to work in a real salon and use your skills with customers. We’ll help you learn how to work with clients, book appointments, ensure clients’ return, sell retail products, and develop the professionalism that will make you valuable to any employer.
