Our full cosmetology diploma program will give you the training you need to succeed in the beauty industry.

Cosmetology Schools in the Chattanooga, TN, Area

Looking for a career that allows you to embrace your creative side, make connections, and earn a good wage? As one of the premier cosmetology schools in Chattanooga, TN, Brillare Beauty Institute will give you the cosmetology tools you need to succeed in a career in the beauty industry. Our students have gone on to work in upscale salons or start their own businesses with the help of our hands-on training and student-run spa experience. Brillare Beauty Institute offers a 60-week program that will train you in the techniques you’ll need to pass the state exam and earn your cosmetology license.

Training and Preparation

Your first 300 hours of training will take place in our hands-on classroom. Unlike other schools, our learning environment isn’t a lecture hall or filled with books; instead, you’ll get valuable hands-on experience at one of our workstations. 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.
