I go to this school and the instructors are awesome. Miss A is a super good instructor who goes into depth with all of her lessons. They really care about the students here.

As a Student that is currently attending I absolutely love it here getting to learn hair and SO MUCH more with amazing people around me such as the lead teacher we call ms.A she makes coming and getting through the time you spend there so exciting every day with her there is so much fun if your thinking about attending DO IT.

Alonnah Black

I toured a couple of schools before California Beauty, and when I walked into California Beauty, I immediately knew it was the school for me. My time at this school was amazing. I met many new friends along the way and had the opportunity to work with numerous great instructors who helped shape me into the Hairstylist I am today.
I highly recommend that you go to California Beauty College in Modesto, CA, for the Cosmetology Program.
