Hands-On Training with
Real Clients in
our Student Salon

Esthetics and Nails are both hands-on fields, and at Raphael’s School of Beauty Culture, we believe that’s how they should be taught. As a Combination Advanced Esthetics/Advanced Manicurist student you’ll work with real clients in our professional, on-site student salon, providing a wide range of services under the guidance of a licensed instructor.

Hands-on learning and working with real guests* is an essential part of beauty school training. Students in any of our programs must be able to commit to attending in-person classes. For certain schedules, in-person classes on Saturday will be mandatory. Talk to an admissions representative to figure out the schedule that’s best for you.

*All services performed by students under the supervision of licensed professionals.
