Hands-On Training with
Real Clients in our Student Salon
Cosmetology is a hands-on field and at Raphael’s School of Beauty Culture we believe that’s how it should be taught. As an Advanced Cosmetologist student, you can work with real clients in our professional, on-site student salon, providing a wide range of services under the guidance of an instructor.
Our goal is that you will feel comfortable moving into any salon setting after gaining hands-on, real-world experience before you graduate.
Hands-on learning and working with real guests* is an essential part of beauty school training. Students in any of our programs must be able to commit to attending in-person classes. For certain schedules, in-person classes on Saturday will be mandatory. Talk to an admissions representative to figure out the schedule that’s best for you.
*All services performed by students under the supervision of licensed professionals.
