  • Applicants must be at least 18 years old and provide a high school diploma or GED. Foreign diplomas are accepted, provided they are properly translated and certified.

  • Transferring credits between beauty schools may be possible, but it depends on the policies of the schools involved. At ABA, we work with you to help plan your next steps and discuss what your future may look like if you are considering transferring.

  • Beauty schools typically offer programs in cosmetology, esthetics, nail technology, hairstyling and barbering.

    Cosmetology programs cover a broad range of beauty services, while esthetics focuses on skincare and spa treatments. Nail technology programs emphasize nail care and design, and makeup artistry programs teach a variety of makeup techniques. Barbering programs specifically train individuals in men’s grooming and hairstyling. At ABA, we are proud to offer all of these programs.

  • A cosmetologist is trained in hair, skin, and nail services, offering a wide range of treatments such as hair cutting and coloring, styling, basic skincare, makeup, and nail care.

    An esthetician specializes in skincare, focusing on facial treatments, skin health, and services like facials, exfoliation, waxing, and skin maintenance.

    In short, cosmetologists have a broader scope, while estheticians focus specifically on skincare.

  •  The Barbering program is the best choice for learning men’s grooming and precision cutting techniques. Students are trained in fades, tapers, razor cuts, beard detailing, shaving, and hair design, along with sanitation, styling, and client care to prepare for a professional barbering career.

  • The Esthetics program is ideal for learning skincare. It covers skin analysis, facial treatments, hair removal, lash lifting, brow lamination, and makeup application, along with customer service skills to prepare you for a career in skincare.

  • Program length varies by program and school. Cosmetology and Barbering typically take about 6–9 months,

    Esthetics about 6 months, and Nail Technology can range from a few weeks to several months.

  • The Cosmetology program is ideal for learning hair, nail, and skincare services. You’ll get hands-on training in hair cutting, coloring, styling, and chemical treatments, as well as nail care like manicures, pedicures, and enhancements. Skincare training includes facials and facial waxing, equipping you to provide a full range of beauty services.

  • Many people choose beauty or trade school because these programs provide focused, hands-on training in specific careers that four-year colleges may not offer. Programs are often shorter, allowing students to gain practical skills quickly, enter the workforce sooner, and save both time and money compared to a traditional college path.

  • Beauty and trade school programs are often much more affordable than a traditional four-year college. Their shorter duration means lower tuition, and students can save on room and board since many commute instead of living on campus. This makes them a cost-effective option for starting a career in a specialized trade or industry.

  • Graduating from ABA opens the door to a variety of rewarding careers in the beauty industry. You can work as a hairstylist, barber, makeup artist, esthetician, nail technician, salon manager, or beauty consultant. Many graduates also choose to become entrepreneurs, starting their own salons, spas, or beauty businesses. These careers offer flexible schedules, opportunities for growth, and the chance to turn your creativity into a profession.

  • Yes — attending beauty school can be a smart choice if you’re passionate about the beauty industry. Here’s why:

    • High demand for skilled professionals: Hair stylists, estheticians, barbers, and nail technicians are needed in salons, spas, and related businesses.

    • Hands-on training: Programs focus on practical skills that prepare you for real work right after graduation.

    • Faster entry into the workforce: Beauty school programs are typically shorter than a four-year degree, letting you start earning sooner.

    • Creative and flexible career paths: You can work in salons, freelance, specialize in areas like makeup or barbering, or even open your own business.

    If you enjoy working with people, being creative, and want a career without the long timeline of traditional college, beauty school can be both rewarding and fulfilling.
