Our Master’s Program for Cosmetologists
Most cosmetology education programs fail their students. They’ve charged their students tens of thousands of dollars (the average student cost for cosmetology training is about $20K) and they graduate lacking basic skills. When graduates apply for jobs in salons, they don’t have the necessary skills to meet guests’ expectations. Salon owners are responsible for properly training them after school, which costs us in time, supplies, and wages.
We do things differently!
We’ve designed our accelerated Master’s Program for those who want to thrive in a successful team environment and grow their client list to build their book of business.
We don’t believe in the “starving artist” mentality. Your skills should earn you more than a liveable wage. They should earn you a lifestyle that supports your ambitions
train side-by-side our talented team of educators and learn:
Foundational coloring and science of a hair strand
Foundational cutting
Foundational anatomy of the skin and the epidermal layers
How to provide customized services and experiences for guests
Proper salon and spa etiquette
Working as a team to boost morale and beliefs

Our goal is to build your business.
Every guest counts and matters and numbers don’t lie. We teach our Beauty Experts the value of growing client lists and they don’t grow without hard work. We emphasize starting somewhere and doing it daily, whether it’s word-of-mouth marketing or social media promotion.
The business side of beauty is something Missouri’s cosmetology programs do a poor job teaching. At The Color Room, we believe that teaching the business side of beauty gives you more than a job. It gives you the building blocks to have a successful career in the beauty industry!
