Find Out How to Get Started with a Beauty School Education at Capri College

Capri College offers a supportive, hands-on learning environment that is not like a traditional college. Our programs can prepare you for rewarding careers in the beauty industry, so you can do what you love and love what you do! If you are interested in enrolling in any of our four Iowa campuses, you will need to go through a simple enrollment process. Our admissions team is here to help you every step of the way, so feel free to contact us with any questions.

Schedule Your School Tour

As part of the enrollment process, we ask that you schedule a tour of the campus you want to attend. We will give you a personal tour of the facilities, including the classrooms, student salon, and spa. You can meet with instructors, talk to current students, and see our style of beauty education in action. This tour is a great way to feel the dynamic atmosphere and get a glimpse into our family-like environment.

Visiting the student salon and spa is an important part of the experience, as it’s where students spend much of their time refining their skills and working with real clients under the direct supervision of licensed instructors. During your visit, you’ll also have the opportunity to schedule a haircut or beauty service and experience the student salon firsthand.

During your tour, a member of our Admissions team will sit down with you, answer your questions, and get to know more about your goals, your current situation, and any scheduling concerns you might have. We can help determine whether Capri College is a good fit for you.

Financial Aid is Available

Applying for financial aid is one aspect of your enrollment process. Financial aid is available to those who qualify. You can pay for your beauty school education with a combination of federal aid and more. If you have any questions, we are always willing to help you out!

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.
