Admissions Tips For Top Beauty Schools

By Esme Spence


For admissions to top beauty schools, you aren't likely to experience the same type of rigors you see with professional and graduate schools. If you want to become a cosmetologist, a nail technician, a barber, or some other common beauty professions, you likely won't have strict academic admissions requirements. However, if you want to attend one of the more prestigious schools, you will likely want to have a strong educational background. Moreover, if you want to gain skills like treatments involving aesthetic lasers or get Botox training, some places require that you have a medical education background. We will talk about some other ways you could prep yourself if that isn't the case.

First, while you may not have perfect grades or many accolades from your schooling, doing your best can't hurt, and we'll explain why. Second, we will talk about how your resume and references can each be a big help. Finally, we'll talk about how visiting the school and getting to know your potential teachers and faculty is a great step toward acceptance to top beauty schools.

Apart from the specific requirements for aesthetic lasers and Botox training that differ but often include requiring a medical degree, many beauty school requirements are quite simple. Some states have a minimum age requirement or certain stage of education that must have previously been reached, but not all states have such limitations. But if you're targeting top beauty schools that are selective, you might want to have a good look at your academic standing. You'll probably do well to finish a high school equivalency program or high school degree. Getting good grades won't just get you into top aesthetics institutions; rather, it might also set you up well to obtain scholarships to help you afford your education as well.

To be sure, the old saying, 'It's not what you know, but who,' can matter in the aesthetics business. Stepping into top beauty schools can become a little easier if you research your options and find individuals to network with and be your recommenders that can get you an in. Ideally they can have sway with the staff responsible for admissions. Creating a strong work history won't harm you at all either. Like any career move, an impressive past displayed on a strong resume can certainly help here, too.

Many want to enroll in beauty schools far from home at which they don't have any network connections with faculty. Those in this situation aren't necessarily stuck. Going to the campus and potentially talking to and possibly developing relationships with faculty can be a great idea. It is an opportunity to show off your passion for beauty, as well as a chance to see what you're getting yourself into with the school.

Top beauty schools can be appealing to anyone looking to move up quickly in the beauty world or to get specific knowledge like Botox training or laser training, but make sure you do what's best for you and your future in the industry.
