Why We Do What We Do

Over the past few years, cosmetology, barber, and vocational training programs for beauty studies have closed or decreased in greater numbers. However, the need and desire for professional certification in these fields have never been higher. The Ultimate Cosmetology and Barber Academy is one of only four schools and educational training centers focused on these industries in the St. Louis Metro region today. We realize we have a responsibility to meet the ever-growing needs of the area and will not let our clients down! With a single campus that can train all different students, we make pursuing your dream career a real option!

I am currently enrolled at this institution for aesthetician licensure and I am thoroughly enjoying the education I am receiving. What is quite unique about the learning environment is that the historical significance of beauty trends are being uplifted and renewing a sense of identity and connectedness to our ancestors.
