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.

Every haircut is an opportunity to learn, refine, create, and bring a little more confidence to the person in your chair. It’s in the details, the technique, and the passion behind every step.
Keep learning. Keep creating. Keep striving to be better than yesterday. ✂️🖤

Being an esthetician is so much more than helping someone achieve healthier, glowing skin. 💆🏼♀️
It’s creating a space where you can slow down, breathe, and feel cared for. It’s listening, encouraging, educating, and reminding someone to take a little time for themselves. 🤍
Sometimes the biggest transformation isn’t just what you see in the mirror—it’s how you feel when you leave. ✨
