The Eye Finds Beauty Even When It’s Not Looking

Years ago, we decided to create a school that reflected our passion for all things beauty. At The Ohio State School of Cosmetology and The Spa School, we are experienced beauty professionals helping to create the future of our industry. We understand you because we are you. We’ve been clients, students, employees, independent contractors and have even owned salons. We strive to provide our students with the best possible experience for their journeys and we love seeing where those lead.

Becoming a beauty professional requires an investment of your time, energy and money. Therefore, you will want to select top-notch training. If you want to be the best (and why wouldn’t you?), then you will need a partner like The Ohio State School of Cosmetology and The Spa School.

Testimonials

"The ladies (students) at the Spa School in Graceland are amazing. I had a brand new person and she has never done layers and she did a wonderful job. Her name is Tory!!"

Tammy Merriner-Baker

"The student did careful, excellent work. It took forever, but she was just trying to do it well. She trimmed and shaped my nails, massaged my feet and legs, painted them (having advised on the color). I got a pedicure."
