Deciding on a Program and Schedule

We talk to many prospective students who aren’t totally sure what program to enroll in, or are interested in more than one program. This is okay! Know that we’re used to this and can help guide you in selecting a program that meets your needs.

Students in all of our programs must be able to commit to attending in-person classes. For certain schedules, this includes mandatory in-person classes on Saturdays. Again, a personal conversation with an admissions representative will be crucial to figuring out the schedule and class start that’s best for you.

Scheduling a Personal Tour

The best way to see if a beauty school is a good fit for you is to visit the campus you’d be attending and check it out in person. There’s just no substitute to feel out what your experience would be like as a student at Raphael’s. We expect students to come for a tour at some point during the admissions process.

When you come in to visit, you can also tour our student salon and clinic. See for yourself just what it’s like to work with real clients within the school setting. You can even book a massage, hair cut or beauty service.

During your tour, a knowledgeable admissions rep will also sit down with you to answer any questions you have, get to know you and your career aspirations and help you determine whether Raphael’s is a good fit for you.

If you have questions about financial aid, you can also bring these questions up during your tour or at any time in speaking with our admissions team, and we’ll get them answered!

Book a Tour

Tour our campus, meet with students & instructors and get a feel for what it’s like to be a part of our community. Friends and family are strongly encouraged to come along!
