create your inner beauty with cosmetology

Hands On Learning
At Artistic Nails & Beauty Academy, we give our students the opportunity to perfect their skills in hair, makeup, and nails. While you’ll start by practicing on mannequins and other students, as you progress you can start taking appointments with actual guests. This can be a great way to prepare for a future in the beauty industry.
Communicate and Analyze
Being a stylist involves more than just beauty. You need to know how to apply theory concepts, make good decisions, and effectively communicate with guests, employers, and coworkers. It’s also crucial to be able to analyze the best hair or makeup look for your client based on preferences, face shape, and skin type. Our program covers all of these skills.
Financial Assistance Available
We know that everyone’s financial circumstances are different. That’s why we’re proud to offer federal grants and loans to those who qualify. We also offer a variety of industry scholarships, such as the Joe Francis Haircare Scholarship, Sport Clips Scholarship, and Vidal Sassoon Professional Beauty Education Scholarship.

What Our Students Have to Say
Great school, awesome staff, the teachers are very knowledgeable and patient with all the students. I recommend this school to everyone.
Cordell M.
Artistic is a great place to go to school. All of our teachers are wonderful. I have went from never doing hair to being able to do some of the most challenging things I’ve ever experienced. Thank You Artistic for making me the Cosmo I am today!

Dynamic Education
If you’ve always wanted to work in the beauty industry, studying cosmetology could be a great first step! At Artistic Nails & Beauty Academy, our cosmetology program covers the latest trends in hair, makeup, and nails, as well as effective communication, analytical skills, and decision making. We work hard to create a fun, supportive environment where students can constantly grow, experiment, and develop new ideas. When you begin your education, you can practice beauty techniques on mannequins and fellow students. As you progress in your skills and confidence, you’ll have the opportunity to practice on real guests under the supervision of licensed educators. This is a great way to gain experience with guest services and communication before you enter the workforce.
Possibilities for the Future
Cosmetology education can open many doors for your future. Whether you’re interested in working as a stylist in a salon, want to work as a freelance professional, or would like to become an educator, a cosmetology license is key. While we understand that online beauty tutorials are popular, these can’t teach you the technical, interpersonal, and analytical skills that cosmetology school can. More importantly, our educators can offer you real-world experience and valuable insights that the Internet cannot.
Flexible Scheduling Options
Students are busy, we get that. Our cosmetology program is 1200 clock hours and takes as little as 10-14 months to complete. We offer full-time and part-time schedules to make things easier for you. So if you’ve got a full-time job, a family, or any other obligations, we’re happy to help accommodate your schedule.
