About Us
Minnesota School of Cosmetology's Plymouth location provides the student with a natural sense of artistry the opportunity to turn that style into a promising career in cosmetology. With a 50-year background in cosmetology-specific training, and esteemed instructors, MSC works to help you develop into an experienced cosmetologist.

Minnesota School of Cosmetology has a 60 year history, beginning with its days as Minnesota Cosmetology Education Center, in providing excellent training. Minnesota Cosmetology Education Center, established in 1950, in a converted home was purchased and revamped in 1988. The new curriculum provided comprehensive preparation for the salon industry, including not only cosmetology, but also sales, communication, and fashion. In 2003, Minnesota Cosmetology Education Center was acquired by Terry and Kaye Myhre, who renamed the institution Minnesota School of Cosmetology, and moved the facility from South Saint Paul, to a new location in, Woodbury.
