 Welcome
Loraine's Academy, Inc. is a
private school specializing in vocational
training in Cosmetology and related arts
and sciences. We're located in the original
Tyrone Gardens Shopping Center, at the intersection
of 9th Avenue North, 58th Street, and Tyrone
Boulevard, one of the most active centers
in suburban St. Petersburg... connected
by major highways to Clearwater, Sarasota,
and Tampa...and serviced by public transportation.
We were a finalist in the 2001 St. Petersburg
Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the
Year competition.
Over the years, the school facility has
expanded and we now have a total of 8250
square feet of classrooms, clinic and offices.
Every station in the Cosmetology clinic
or laboratory area features new hydraulic
styling chairs and power for irons and dryers.
Other rooms house fifteen to twenty manicure
stations, a multi-bed skincare/massage clinic
and separate classroom, a waxing center,
adjustable pedicure stations, a private
massage and facial clinic including a shower
for spa treatments, and a lighted makeup
center.
We have a large and well-equipped library/study
hall/conference room facility, a dispensary,
student lounge and locker room with refrigerator,
microwave, and snack machines.
Skincare training includes use of salon-quality
facial machines. Nail Tech tables are well-lighted
and well vented. Computerized records are
kept for all programs.
Educational Objectives
Our mission is to produce well-rounded,
professional graduates, as well as technically
competent Cosmetologists and Specialists.
Owners, Management, Staff and Instructors
are really the most important aspect of
any school because they create the learning
environment. At Loraine's, you are not left
to figure it out on your own. We use the
latest equipment, teach an advanced subject
matter, and find ways to make it easy and
fun to learn. Then you practice on lots
of real people. The success of our students
is primarily due to our dedicated staff
and effective educational systems.

program is the Full Specialist Program,
which combines nails and facials.

a private Waxing Center.
