Standing Ovations

from our students and graduates
bellus student testimonial
Jeliane Mercado
Cosmetology
“I chose Bellus because I've always wanted to have a career where I would make people feel better about themselves. The education exceeded my expectations and the program has helped me step out of my comfort zone and discover my passion for cosmetology. During my time here, my favorite experience has been doing make-up at the Kansas City fashion week, which was unforgettable!”
bellus student testimonial
Adrian Roy
Barbering
“What inspired me to pursue barbering was seeing the before and after, the connection that I make with people and seeing their reaction of how much they love the end result. My favorite part so far has been making the connection with friends here and watching us all grow together in our craft. My most memorable moments have been with my instructors with Teffi and Carlo they have always motivated me to do my best and without their help I wouldn’t be as successful as I am now!”
bellus student testimonial
Briana Wrider
Spa Nails

“I enrolled in Spa Nails because I was interested in trying a different path in life. I am a mom to 3 and I wanted to show them a future doing something that you love. Making people feel relaxed, building friendships and leaving them happy with their nails!”

Brianna Wood
Esthetics
“I chose Bellus Academy because of their success rates and the Master Esthetics program. I wanted to feel knowledgeable and well equipped to enter the industry with advanced training. To know I would be able to walk out of my program confident in my ability to perform services such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion motivated me. My CIDESCO certification enables me to be a practicing esthetician internationally!”
bellus student testimonial
Jessica Reed
Esthetics
“I chose Bellus Academy because of the reviews and seeing it rated #1. My favorite part of my Esthetics program was the Medical-Luxury Spa training.  It opened my mind to a lot of different things that I wasn’t even expecting. My plan after I graduation is to work for a Spa on a cruise ship to gain that experience before I own my own business!”
bellus student testimonial
Private: Merrill Overson
Barber/Cosmetology
"I changed a 30-year career path in restaurants as regional manager to pursue a career in Cosmetology. My favorite part of this journey happens daily when clients are happy with their service and when the schoolmates are proud of their work. The beauty and wellness industry is an ever-changing and always growing profession!"
bellus student testimonial
Viviana Lopez
Cosmetology
"My favorite part of this journey is seeing how much I have improved from the start of my program, not just with skill but with my timing of services as well. My advice for anyone looking to attend Bellus Academy is to just go for it; it's a once in a lifetime experience that can help you discover so much about yourself and grow as a person!"

A thriving industry with untapped potential.
