Beauty School

We offer individualized attention to our students in an upscale full-service salon spa environment. The Cosmetology/Manicuring course is designed to train all students in the principles and practices of the profession of cosmetology. Upon successful completion of the course, each student will be properly prepared and trained to complete the State Board of Cosmetology examination.

Barber School

Luxx considers both class time and clinic floor experience extremely important. Because of the location of the school and the upscale environment, students receive a great deal of hands-on experience working with actual clients in all aspects of barbering. The theory and practical class hours are completely separate from clinic floor hours, allowing uninterrupted student hours dedicated to the classroom setting.
