For many, it\u2019s the relaxing experience or excitement of a new look. Beauty professionals like cosmetologists, barbers, and estheticians know how to put you at ease and help you leave with a new look that boosts your confidence. Your first instinct might be to head to a traditional spa or salon. However, there\u2019s another option where you\u2019re not just supporting a local business but helping future professionals learn \u2013 a beauty school salon.A hallmark of the cosmetology\u00a0and related training programs at Bellus Academy is that students get to practice their skills with real clients under the supervision of licensed instructors. We have several locations in the San Diego, California area \u2013 Poway, Chula Vista, and El Cajon\u00a0\u2013 plus one in Manhattan, KS.

This allows clients to access many of the same services found at a traditional salon or spa but at more affordable rates. Take haircuts, for example. Many consumers have commented on the rising costs of haircuts in recent years. Visiting a supervised student hair salon offers access to great haircuts \u2013 plus waxing services, spa treatments, and more \u2013 without breaking the bank. Supervision of Experienced, Licensed InstructorsYou might be apprehensive about seeking services from a beauty school salon or spa. There\u2019s no need to worry, because the student salons and spas at Bellus Academy are supervised by licensed instructors with extensive experience.What\u2019s more, students are training with these dedicated, licensed instructors in the classroom for a while before they start practical training in the salon.

So, you can trust you\u2019re not sacrificing quality by choosing a supervised student to perform your services. Indeed, you might walk away more impressed as these services represent the mentorship of experienced licensed instructors.Knowledge of Current Trends and StylesSince students are still learning, they might be more acquainted with emerging trends and styles than some professionals at traditional salons and spas. For instance, the licensed instructors at Bellus Academy ensure students learn the most current techniques changing the beauty industry. From new approaches to hair coloring to one-of-a-kind nail art, students can help you discover looks you\u2019ve never heard of \u2013 ones that will wow family and friends. \u00a0High Standards of Salon Safety and Sanitation It\u2019s not just technical training they teach in beauty school.
