Capri in Waterloo is absolutely amazing.I went to school there and they did amazing job I learned so much. I graduated and I still get my hair done there because there prices and the teachers and students do such amazing job every time.
I graduated from Capri almost 2 years from the cosmetology program and Capri definitely set me up for success with all the knowledge my instructors had and passed down to me! If you are interested in going to cosmetology school I highly recommend Capri College in Waterloo
I attended Capri last year and graduated through the cosmetology program and my college experience was great! All the instructors there are very kind and helpful while still letting you have full range of your creativity! S.O to my instructor Surp for pushing me to finish my hours!
Choosing Capri College was one of the best decisions I've ever made. From day one, I felt supported and encouraged to grow-not just as a stylist, but as a person. The instructors pushed me to believe in myself, refine my skills, and step outside of my comfort zone. I graduated feeling confident, prepared, and excited to start my career. Capri will always hold a special place in my heart.
Capri College has given me confidence in my ability that I will own forever. My favorite part of the program was the hands-on learning. The fast-paced nature of the program was challenging, but it has prepared me for my career as a Massage Therapist.
A little practice during the advanced nail class for some of our cosmetology students!

As our August 2025 Cosmetology Class comes to an end, we can’t help but reflect on all they’ve accomplished during their time with us.
We are incredibly proud of how much they’ve grown, both personally and professionally, and all the hard work they’ve put into reaching this milestone. Watching them develop their skills and confidence has been such a privilege.
We can’t wait to see where their talent, passion, and creativity take them as they begin their careers as licensed cosmetologists. Congratulations, graduates! We’re so excited to see where this new career takes you! 💕✂️✨
