      Hi Sarah, our fall classes will be September and November. When I have the exact dates I will post them on our website, but most likely orientation for the Sept class will be Sept 4th, and the Nov class Nov 6.

          Hi Megan,
          No plans to start a class in August so far. If that changes I will post it on our website. But more than likely our classes for the rest of this year will start May, July, Sept, and Nov.

    Hi I just moved down from WA in September and really want to attend your school.
    I still have my WA state drivers license though. Do I have to have a CA license?

    • Candace on April 19, 2014 | 10:17 am

      Hi Sheri, yes we will accept your WA license when we enroll you. However, you will have to have your CA driver’s license by the time you graduate and go to State Board, because they will require a CA driver’s license. 🙂

    I am really interested in the manicuring class, but I work Monday-Thursday and some Fridays for Merced County Office of Education. I was wondering if it is a requirement to attend everyday Tuesday-Saturday, or is it where you attend on whichever days you can and it just takes longer to finish? I would be able to attend all Saturdays and most Fridays, also some weekdays when we are closed for school vacations. Thank you in advance for any information you can provide me.

      The total cost for the cosmetology program is $10,200. Financial aid is available if you qualify. If you qualify for the full amount, $100 registration fee would be all you have to pay. Our next orientations are scheduled for May 2nd, July 11th, and September 5th. The cosmetology program takes about a year to complete.
