Share Your Craft and Shape the Next Generation

If you built a career in cosmetology and feel called to teach, our Cosmetology Instructor Program helps you take that next step. This 300-hour program offers training in up-to-date teaching techniques, blending technology with the hands-on methods that beauty education depends on. We continually invest in our educators so you always learn current styles, trends, and State Board preparation using top-quality tools of the trade. If passing on your knowledge and inspiring new professionals excites you, start your future here. Contact us today to begin the enrollment process.

Great beauty educators remain in high demand, and your journey starts with the right training. We designed this program to help you translate your expertise into clear, patient, and effective teaching—bridging the gap between performing great work and guiding someone else to master it.

The best professionals become the teachers who inspire the next ones.

Take the Next Step Toward Becoming an Instructor

We designed this 300-hour program for licensed professionals ready to move into education, and you can complete it in as little as 12 weeks. We offer both day and evening schedules so you can fit your instructor training around your current work. Contact us, and we will help you choose the option that fits your life best.

You will learn from experienced educators in the supportive, small-class environment that defines Austin’s Beauty College. As you practice teaching and demonstration, you will gain the confidence to guide your own students—both in the classroom and on the clinic floor.

Becoming an instructor opens a rewarding new chapter in your beauty career, where your experience directly shapes the professionals of tomorrow. Our team stands ready to help you make that transition.

Teaching also keeps your own skills sharp. Explaining technique, demonstrating on the clinic floor, and answering student questions push you to stay current and articulate about the craft you perfected over the years. Many instructors find that they learn something new every term right alongside their students.

We start new classes monthly, offering both day and evening instructor schedules. Contact our admissions team to find the next start date and option that works best for you.

Where Could You Go With an Instructor Credential?

An instructor credential opens doors beyond the salon chair. As a licensed instructor, you can teach in a beauty or cosmetology school, lead continuing education courses, or step into leadership roles in beauty education. Many instructors find deep satisfaction in mentoring—watching students grow into confident professionals.

An instructor role also brings a fresh rhythm to your work life and a new kind of stability, all while keeping you connected to the trends and techniques that first drew you to beauty.

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.

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 :)
