See What Our Students Have To Say
I was a transfer cosmetology student here. I enjoyed my time here and made life long friends and mentors. They prepare you so well for the salon life here! When I started at the salon it was clear SCBC prepared me very well. I felt comfortable and very knowledgeable about what I was doing. I’m thankful for my experience and times I had here! If your thinking of going to beauty school here, I highly recommend them. I transferred here from a different program and was well worth it! 10/10! We are a family here!
"I am a student here in the cosmetology program and I love it! The instructors are all amazing and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend coming here for your education or to get your hair, skin or nails done!!"
I am currently a student at the State College of Beauty and it is the absolute best decision I’ve made! The relationships I’ve made with the girls that go here will last forever and the instructors are always so helpful & encouraging!❤️
