Before you enroll
Ask every school the same four questions
Will this program qualify me?
Confirm the exact license, required hours and current program approval with the school and Board.
What will I pay in total?
Request tuition, kit, books, fees and financial-aid terms in one written quote. Compare total cost, not tuition alone.
Can I attend this schedule?
Ask for the next intake, weekly class hours, attendance rules and expected completion time. Test the commute.
What if my plans change?
Read refund, withdrawal, transfer-credit and transcript policies before signing. Keep copies of your contract and payments.
How to read school reviews
Match the campus address and program before comparing reviews. Whole-college reviews may describe other programs; salon reviews may describe a client visit rather than student training. Read recent and critical reviews alongside positive ones, and check how many people contributed before judging an average.
Ask the school about repeated concerns. Compare official Board exam results separately using the same license, reporting period and candidate counts. Reviews and past results do not guarantee your experience or exam result.
Open the enrollment safety checklist
- Verify the school and exact program with the current state Board.
- Get tuition, attendance, refund and transcript policies in writing.
- Ask who keeps your student records if the school closes.
- Keep contracts, receipts and attendance records; use a traceable payment method.
- Be cautious about pressure to pay, cash-only demands, or guaranteed licenses and exam passes.
- When using Board school examination results, compare the same license and reporting period and check candidate counts.
Campus facts were checked against school sources and the Board’s Aug 25, 2026 list. Inclusion does not imply a school partnership, endorsement or ranking. Tuition, open cohorts and exact program approvals require confirmation with the school and Board.
