As an NACCAS-accredited school, we’re also able to offer federal financial aid to qualifying Cosmetology students.

Our programs do more than teach you the basics of beauty. We want to support the whole person.

That includes balancing success and joy, both personally and professionally, while making a positive impact on the community.

Beauty School FAQs

What makes Noe' Noonan different from other beauty schools?

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.

What if I'm nervous about going to beauty school?

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.

Do I get to work on real clients?

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!

What should I do if I want to start training ASAP?

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.

Do you offer job placement?

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!
