We may reject anyone unable to benefit from, or adapt to the profession.

Enrollment Process

Pre-Enrollment Requires:

  • Attending a General Orientation for an industry overview.
  • Attending a Registration Appointment (by appointment only)
  • Attending a Class Orientation for your confirmed start date. 

The General Orientation is done in a group environment and takes place once a month.

Please call 707 545-8490 to add your name to a General Orientation. During the General Orientation you’ll be given a tour of the college, the Cosmetology/Esthetics industry will be discussed, and we’ll answer your general questions. Our Financial Aid Officer will also talk about the financial aid process.

If you are interested in grants or loans, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), may be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you require alternative methods for completing the FAFSA or you need assistance, please contact our Financial Aid Office.
Note: When entering your FAFSA online you will need our school's Federal Code: 013807.

Should you choose to proceed with the enrollment process, we encourage you to do research on the industry by visiting salons and other schools. Make sure you are choosing the best environment for your education. Once you have attended a General Orientation, a Registration Appointment can be scheduled after completing the Payment Plan Questionnaire OR after the FAFSA has been processed, which takes approximately 3 to 5 business days if completed and signed online. During the Registration Appointment, we will go over financing, administer an entrance exam, collect your essay and letter of recommendation (see Admission Requirements), copy high school diploma or equivalency and copy valid state ID. Upon total completion of this appointment, a $75.00 non-refundable deposit is due in order to receive an Acceptance Letter. In the event that we feel you will not benefit from our training, we will return your check with the Acceptance Letter (the $75.00 deposit is only refundable if we do not accept your application, and is not refundable if an applicant changes their mind).
