Choose the Program That Fits Your Goals

Unsure which path fits you best? That’s what your campus tour is for! We will help you compare options so you can pick the program that aligns with your lifestyle and ambitions. We offer programs in Cosmetology, Aesthetics, Manicuring, and Cosmetology Instruction, as well as continuing education courses for licensed pros.

What to Expect on Your Tour

We design your tour as a comfortable, no-pressure visit. You will walk through our classrooms and active student salon floor, meet our instructors, and experience our welcoming family environment firsthand. Bring all your questions about schedules, programs, and financial options!

You will walk away with a clear picture of daily life at our academy and a confident plan for your next steps. Many students tell us they knew Austin’s was their new home the moment they stepped inside—nothing compares to experiencing our space and community in person.

Support for Veterans and Military Families

We proudly support our military community at Fort Campbell! Austin’s Beauty College accepts VA education benefits and MyCAA grants for eligible military spouses. If you plan to use VA benefits, please fill out VA Form 22-1990 and bring your Certificate of Eligibility letter before enrolling. Active-duty service members should consult their post Education Center, while veterans should bring a copy of their DD214. Our team will happily guide you through every detail.

All the ladies are the best. It's all a learning process here but they are all the greatest here. Caroline is amazing.

Ornery Beauty Queen

Shon did a fantastic job on my braids and was super fun to work with. Jessica did my cut and I don’t think I’ll ever go to another stylist or barber ever again. They are both so professional and funny. Highly recommend coming to see both of them.

Ruel Garrett

Wonderful little beauty college! My daughter got a cut/ balayage and it turned out beautifully. The stylist Alyshia was very sweet, professional, and did an amazing job of blending the color and choosing the right color. Will absolutely be back! Update: came back to get platinum highlights for myself and they turned out wonderful! Always a great experience here :)
