Capri College offers advanced Beauty and Wellness training in eastern Iowa. *

What draws people to our profession? Maybe it is the feeling you get when you help someone to look and feel their best, the flexibility it allows, the social aspect, or maybe you just love the salon/spa ENVIRONMENT. Compare the Beauty and Wellness Industry to an office cubicle, factory, or restaurant job and the difference is clear.
