Hairdressing and Cosmetology

We believe that our Continental Hairdressing and Cosmetology graduates leave with much more than the opportunity for a license.

They come away with real-world stylist skills and the confidence to help them go after their dreams. At Continental School of Beauty, you’ll learn to cut, style, color, balayage, highlight, straighten, chemically treat hair, and more! You’ll perform a variety of beauty services in addition to hair such as makeup, nails, and skin care to enhance your client’s appearance. While there’s a broad range of skills, many choose to specialize in processes and techniques of their own. We invite you onboard for The Continental Experience!

Graduate Spotlight

Why do Continental graduates love us?
Hear it directly from them!

I loved my instructors and they taught me the skills I needed along with new techniques to pursue my dream of opening up my own business. Continental Instructors took the time to explain and demonstrate the varied topics relating to esthetics and nails. Also, I decided to attend Continental as they offered extra training in Lash Extensions and I was able to earn a Lash Extension certification through my training in school!

I have always had a huge passion for skin care and learning and Continental School of Beauty has a dual skin and nail program available, so I was able to earn both my esthetics and nail certificates at one time. The staff is knowledgeable and I feel have given me the skills I need to succeed in the beauty industry. Thank you Continental!
