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.

The Nail Tech program is one of the quickest ways to enter the cosmetology field.

The alternative to this program is the Full Specialist Program, which combines nails and facials.

It also houses a private Waxing Center.
