 Cosmetology
The Austin's School of Spa Technology (formerly,
Austin Beauty School) has offered comprehensive
training in the area of appearance enhancement
for 75 years. The Austin program in Cosmetology
focuses on the development of the knowledge
bases and skills that students need not

allow you, the student, to create a career
that is as individual and creative as you

values the practical as well as the artistic,
the tried-and-true as well as the trendy,

Barbering
"Everything old is new again" or so the
saying goes and Barbering is no exception.
The word Barber brings up lots of old fashioned
images-but barbering is experiencing a renaissance.
The new barber is trained in the foundational
skills, with an eye to the cutting edge
of men's grooming. Men today are looking
for their own place: a place where they
can feel comfortable receiving services
that are designed specifically for them,
and a person who is dedicated to providing
those services. Want to make a niche for
yourself in the beauty industry? Think about
Barbering!
