About Us
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!!"
"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."
"I have been a student here since April 2014, I can only say it’s a great place to learn and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. The instructors and staff are the best."
"Excellent, Makuta was incredible. Great experience."
"You will be well prepared for state boards & the real world! With a staff who truly cares about its students & their future. They are always updating services & product lines, as well as bringing in speakers to educate you. No to mention the pride this facility takes in its cleanliness & giving back to the community. I’m proud to say I attended this school, not once- but twice! I am currently a successful salon owner, and owe much of that success to the programs offered here. And the great people who work here!!!!!"
