Our School
Our Karl Road school is located in North Columbus near the intersection of Karl and Morse Roads. This expansive facility was the first in Ohio designed and built expressly to be a cosmetology school and a barber school. The program at this school is dedicated to black hair, skin, and nail studies - one of the first and only schools in Ohio to be Africentric. Heat waving, marcelling, chemical reformation, hair braiding and hair extensions are just a few of the extras taught. Our busy clinic ensures plenty of Africentric practice on actual clients.
