Olean Beauty School, NY Campus

My experience as a student was amazing. The teachers are very knowledgeable. They actually care and want you to succeed. They make sure you graduate with the confidence to go out into the work field ready to conquer!

People always ask me where I attended beauty school and I can proudly say that I went nowhere else but the wonderful Continental. The follow up question is always, “Did you like it?” My answer? “Yes! I LOVED it!” As corny and superficial as it may sound, everyone you meet, students and staff alike, eventually merge into one huge family. The love and support you receive makes you never want to leave, no matter how much your “senioritis” builds within those last few months. Leaving Continental has made me realize that I made the right decision in pursuing my craft and not going to college like everyone else wanted me to. It gave me a sense of confidence to never be afraid of what others think and say about your decisions in life, especially when you’re doing what YOU want and LOVE. You’ve got to always be yourself, cater to YOUR OWN wants and needs, and of course, start it all at Continental!

I chose Continental because I like the one-to-one you get from the instructors. They make sure you know what you are doing, why you are doing it, and they make sure you are comfortable doing it. The staff is awesome, friendly, and loving.

I had previously completed the Nail & Waxing program at Continental and was impressed with the professionalism, support and the way they believe in the students. They become like another family to you. They help you become a better version of yourself. Continental covers so much of what to expect in the salon life. The approach the school takes is realistic. I get to do what I love and I am good at it!
