Our admissions process is designed to help you get started with a beauty education as soon as possible. Come in and talk to our team about your goals, and we’ll help you map out a training plan that fits into your life. The first step is to come in for a tour so you can meet one-on-one with our team and see classes in action. We can also answer questions about scheduling, finances, and start dates.
When you’re ready to turn your interest in beauty into a plan for your future, we’re here to help you take the next step. Schedule a tour of our Lafayette, LA beauty school today to start the enrollment process.
You must be 16 years or older to enroll, and parent or guardian consent is required if you are under 18.
We support you long after you graduate and prepare you for the job market. While we cannot guarantee job placement after graduation, we make every effort to help you find opportunities that align with your goals. We can help with:
Employment isn’t guaranteed, but guidance is ongoing. You are welcome to come back to career support any time.
We currently offer Cosmetology (1,500 hours) and Esthetics (750 hours). Both programs blend classroom theory with live-client clinic experience under licensed supervision. We also offer an Instructor Training course (600 hours) for licensed cosmetologists or estheticians who want to take their professional career to the next level. Admissions can help you compare schedules, topics, and the next available start dates.
Financial Aid is available to those who qualify. Start with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) and then meet with our team to review options such as Pell Grants, Federal Direct Loans, and payment plans. Some students also pursue outside scholarships or state resources. We’ll help you choose a strategy that balances your budget and timeline.
We’ll talk to you about your goals and scheduling needs, and you can ask us about programs and how to get started. We’ll cover the applications, required documents, and fees. You can leave the interview with a clear plan about your next steps and a target start date to begin your training.
We offer Cosmetology classes weekdays during the day, and Esthetics weekdays in the evening. The school is closed on weekends and major holidays to give you the best work-life balance possible and give you time with your family. If you have specific questions about hours and training schedules, our admissions Team can help.
After you build up your core skills in class, you can transition to working with real clients in our student-run salon under instructor supervision. Many students begin seeing guests early in their training, so they transition from practice to real-world experience quickly. Timing will depend on your progress, attendance, and skill development.

🎓Brianne & Alana | A Friendship That Became Part of the Story
They came to CTC to learn a trade, but they’re leaving with a friendship they didn’t know they’d find.🥹💖
Some of the best things that happen in life aren`t part of the plan. Sometimes, they`re the friendships that grow in the middle of an ordinary day, the person who makes the hard days a little easier, or the one who ends up standing right beside you when something wonderful happens.
For Brianne and Alana, CTC became the place where two individual journeys turned into a shared chapter, full of learning, memories, and a friendship that grew along the way. And how special is it that they got to celebrate this milestone together?
As they turn the page to what`s next, we hope they carry more than the skills they`ve learned here. We hope they carry the confidence to keep growing, the courage to chase the opportunities ahead, and the reminder that sometimes the people you meet along the way become just as meaningful as the destination itself.
Brianne & Alana, Congratulations!
-We`re so happy you found a little something extra here at CTC!
“Two graduates, one beautiful friendship, and a whole lot of possibilities ahead.”🥂✨

💄A little makeup, a little teamwork, and a whole lot of GLOW!
Our esthetics students teamed up for a daily makeup application, putting their skills into practice while creating a look that’s wearable, beautiful, and oh-so-glowy! Because learning the art of beauty means getting hands-on, trying new techniques, and building confidence one brush stroke at a time.
The goal? Enhancing natural beauty, one face at a time💋

-You drop your comb and instinctively reach down to grab it…
YOUR INSTRUCTOR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT🚨😂
-“ABSOLUTELY NOT. That comb belongs to the floor now!”
In cosmetology school, we don`t just teach you how to do hair…we teach you the rules of the beauty industry💆🏼♀️✨

✨Around here, a “regular” updo just won’t cut it!
Our Level 2 cosmetology students took on a themed updo challenge, and these girlies came READY to accessorize! From spooky season and Christmas cheer to Thanksgiving vibes and Strawberry Festival flair, they turned hairstyling into a whole creative production. 💇♀️✨
Because at CTC, a head of hair is never JUST hair… it’s a blank canvas, and our students aren’t afraid to think outside the box!
We need to know…which theme would YOU want to try?!

🎓A little rebel, a whole lotta heart, and now…A COSMETOLOGY GRADUATE!
Well, Zoe… look at you. 🥹🖤
Some people leave a little sparkle wherever they go. Others leave a little chaos, a whole lot of attitude, and absolutely ZERO apologies for being exactly who they are. And then there’s Zoe, who somehow manages to be all of that while having one of the biggest hearts around.
Zoe has always been unapologetically HERSELF, and honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way. From that hard-core vibe to that signature sass, she brings a personality that you simply can’t duplicate. But underneath all that edge is a girl with so much heart, and anyone who has gotten to know her knows just how special she really is.
Getting to celebrate her graduation is bittersweet because while we’re SO excited to see her take on the beauty industry, we know there’s a little less Zoe-shaped chaos coming through our doors now. 😂🥹
Zoe, we hope you never feel the need to tone yourself down, fit into anyone else’s mold, or trade your individuality for someone else’s idea of who you should be. This industry has room for bold, different, creative souls like you, and we hope you use every bit of that personality to make your own mark on it.
Keep your edge. Keep your sass. Keep that big heart. And please, for everyone`s sake, never lose the ability to make people laugh!
Congratulations, Zoe! We love you, we’re proud of you, and we cannot WAIT to see what you do next. Go make some magic, do things your own way, and remind the world that being different is a pretty beautiful thing.
CTC will always be cheering for you, you little legend.🖤🤘🏼

✨Congratulations Rylie!
-There’s something really special about watching someone reach a moment they once had to imagine. 🥹
Today, we get to celebrate Rylie—not just because she completed her hours or reached the finish line, but because she can now look back and see just how much has changed along the way.
The early mornings, the long days, the learning curves, the little victories, the moments of doubt, the friendships, the laughter, and all the time spent behind the chair have brought her to *this* day. And now, she gets to take everything she’s learned and make it her own.
Rylie, we hope you leave CTC knowing that your time here was about more than learning a skill. You were building confidence, finding your voice, and becoming the beauty professional you’re meant to be.
We’re so proud of you, Rylie! Go make some magic! Your next chapter starts now🪄

🫧TWEEN FACIALS ARE ON THE MENU!
Our esthetics students recently got some hands-on practice performing our Tween Facial—and they were ALL about those skincare skills!
Using IMAGE Skincare’s BIOME+ and ORMEDIC products, our students learned how to customize a gentle, age-appropriate facial experience while putting their classroom knowledge into practice.
From product selection to every relaxing step of the facial, our future estheticians are learning that great skincare starts with understanding the skin and treating it with care.
And can we just appreciate these little skincare pros in action?! 👏🏼💕
Learning today. Skincare pros tomorrow.✨
