Hands-on training that goes beyond mannequin heads to real clients on the clinic floor who have the potential to become lifelong clientele.

An understanding of what it takes not just to practice your craft, but to build a successful business in the beauty industry.

The knowledge you need to build a portfolio that showcases what you’re capable of to employers and clients.

Resources and skills to help you be salon-ready after graduation.

Programs we offer

The beauty industry offers a wide range of career paths for you to choose from.

Whether you’re looking to become a hair colorist or stylist through cosmetology, want to provide the perfect spa experience or makeup look for your clients through esthetics, or aspire to become a master barber or nail technician,* Tricoci University has you covered.

Interested in teaching future beauty industry pros or becoming a product instructor for your favorite beauty brand? Our teacher training program is the perfect fit.
