Noe’ Noonan School of Cosmetology was created for people who want a career that is creative and meaningful. We’re built and run by women hairdressers, and our culture is all about positivity, encouragement, and building relationships. You’ll experience that from your first visit and throughout your time in our school.
We welcome students from Erie and surrounding communities, including Meadville, Edinboro, and Fairview, PA, plus nearby Conneaut, OH, and Jamestown, NY. If you are ready to invest in yourself and build a future you are proud of, we’re ready to be your biggest cheerleaders. Come see our school for yourself by scheduling a Discovery Tour.
Going beyond the basics. We take fundamentals seriously, and preparing you to sit for the state exam is important. But we also believe students should graduate with more than a surface knowledge of the beauty industry. We keep leveling up our curriculum with additional certification opportunities, guest educators, and personal development courses. Our goal is to prepare you for the real world, both in theory and in practice.
Affordable tuition. Your dreams shouldn’t feel out of reach. We work hard to keep tuition affordable because we know this opportunity can change lives—a belief that shaped everything our founders, Kayla and Dianna, built into this school. When training feels financially realistic, students can focus their energy on learning. If cost is a concern, we can help you create a financial plan to make it feel more realistic.
A positive culture. We care about what it feels like to learn here. The road to your dream should come with good memories and great company. We want students to feel encouraged and supported. Everyone in the school is here to cheer you on and help you map out a plan that helps you work toward your goals.
We’d love to show you around our school. Make an appointment for a Discovery Tour and experience the Noe’ Noonan difference for yourself.
Our school focuses on high standards and positive support. You can learn the basics needed to sit for the licensing exam, but we go beyond that with extra training opportunities that can help you expand your skills and grow your confidence. We teach Beauty as a Business, a dedicated marketing and self-promotion curriculum, plus The Power Journey, a personal development program designed by our founders, Kayla and Dianna.
If you want a school that keeps you accountable while cheering you on, this might be the place for you.
That’s more common than you might think! It’s nothing to be embarrassed about or worry over. Most students arrive for their first day with a mixture of excitement and nerves, which is totally normal when you are starting something new. Our team is big on encouragement and support, so we’ll be here to help you however we can. The Discovery Tour can help you feel more comfortable, too, as you’ll get to see the classrooms, meet our team, and learn more about what it’s like to be a student here.
Yes. As you progress through your program, you can begin working in our student clinic and providing services to real clients as part of your training. This helps you build service confidence, client communication skills, and professional habits. All services are performed by students under the supervision of licensed professionals. If you want to learn more about how the student clinic works, talk to our team or make an appointment and try it yourself!
Start by scheduling a tour. That’s the fastest way to get answers and take the next steps. During your visit, we’ll review upcoming start dates, admissions requirements, and what you’ll need to do to enroll. If you come prepared with your questions and basic documents, the process can move along pretty quickly.
We can’t guarantee employment. However, we do offer lifetime support for students as they enter the beauty industry. We can help you build a portfolio or coach you on how to present yourself to potential employers. We also bring in guest educators and brand partners when possible, which can help you network with local salons. Our goal is to see you succeed!
