Do you enjoy helping others feel better by giving them a relaxing massage? Increase the number of people you could help by taking the massage therapy program at Capri College! Not only could you get hands-on training in our student spa area, you could also learn multiple massage modalities, such as deep tissue massage, sports massage, and how to use hot stones. Massage therapy is an ancient art, but it is also fast-evolving in the beauty industry.
We provide our students with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience they need to work confidently and pursue a dream career as a massage therapist. The 600-hour massage therapy program is available at all four of our Iowa campuses, and it can be completed in as little as 26 weeks. Get started on the enrollment process right now!
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 was a student at Capri and graduated last year. My instructors were all so supportive and kind and always there for us not just with school stuff but personal too. (The amount of times I cried in Surps office cuz I was having a bad day and she never ever made me feel bad for it and would let me sit there and talk to her until I felt better) Capri is not just about beauty, it’s about building lasting friendships and learning about yourself! The beauty industry is literally billions of dollars and we can ALL be successful and Capri helped show us that!!!
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!
I made lifelong friends and made so many great memories along the way. Some of my favorite classes were the special FX makeup, the straight razor course and the facial massage class. I also loved being a Capri Camp counselor and getting to teach the kids about makeup. The scheduling of clients on the floor was a great way for me to become more sociable and comfortable with multitasking my work and getting to know the client.
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.
These are the start dates for the massage therapy program at each of our Iowa campuses:
You can begin the enrollment process at any time.
A licensed massage therapist could pursue a variety of careers that help others relax, reduce stress, relieve pain, and heal faster. For example, massage therapists can work in healthcare facilities, chiropractic offices, and physical fitness spas. They can be found in cosmetology salons and beauty spas. Many high-end hotels, resorts, and cruise ships hire massage therapists to provide their services to guests. Some massage therapists concentrate on a unique set of clientele, such as pregnant women and infants, or people under the care of hospice. Entrepreneurs could open and operate their own massage therapy clinic.
At Capri College, we help our students achieve their educational and career goals by teaching the skills that the current industry demands, preparing students to take for the State Exam, and providing career services. We cannot guarantee employment, but many of our students go on to do what they love.
Tuition and fees cost $8,520. Equipment, books, and uniforms cost $1,430. The total cost for the massage therapy program is $9,950.
Massage therapy students typically attend school 25 hours per week, four days a week, with schedules that vary by location. Some schedules may include evenings. This is a 600-hour program that takes as little as 26 weeks to complete.
In Iowa, to get a massage therapy license, you must complete 600 hours of in-class instruction and clinical training at a school approved by the Iowa Board of Massage Therapy. (Capri College is an approved school.) Then you must pass the State Exam for the massage therapy license. Our program is designed to prepare you to sit for the State Exam. Current CPR and First Aid certifications are required, and we can provide the training for those certifications at our school. Licensees must also pay the required licensure fee.
One of the key steps in the enrollment process is applying for financial aid, which is available to those who qualify. Find out what types of financial aid you qualify for by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). You can also call us at 1-800-728-7222 to talk to a Financial Aid advisor, who could provide personalized tips for making the program affordable.

Massage therapy is more than just relaxation — it’s a way to ease pain, restore balance, and help others reconnect with their bodies. Through every session, you’re not just working on muscles, you’re supporting someone’s journey toward feeling whole again. 🪷
