About Tricoci University of Beauty Culture

Founded by trailblazer and celebrated beauty industry icon Mario Tricoci, Tricoci University of Beauty Culture has transformed the traditional approach to beauty education. We are committed to teaching a new generation of beauty industry students ethical leadership, professionalism, and the art and science of cosmetology, esthetics and nail technology-all at an advanced level.

A different approach to beauty education

At TUBC, our experienced educators teach a curriculum unlike that of most other beauty schools. By giving our students systematic foundational education, rather than teaching outdated and inflexible "one size fits all" services, they can truly excel as inventive professionals.

Instead of introducing a limited set of cookie-cutter hair, skin and nail services, you'll learn sophisticated and adaptable techniques, skills and information. This method creates true professionals who can identify product attributes based on ingredients and chemistry rather than the brand name itself; who can customize a cut, color, style, skin care needs or hand/foot treatment needs on the spot; and who have the confidence and skill set to continuously grow and thrive as an artistic beauty industry professional.

Programs

The programs at Tricoci University of Beauty Culture offer the most well rounded education in the beauty industry. We don't stop at the basics-you'll learn the science, chemistry, technique and business of hair, skin and/or nails, plus advanced techniques not taught at other schools. Salon owners know what the Tricoci name stands for, and our challenging, hands-on training and superior facilities will prepare you for an exciting variety of career options.

• Cosmetology: 10 months full time * 16 months part time
• Esthetics: 5 months full time * 8 months part time
• Nail Technology: 4 months part time
• Teacher training: Length varies to program

Unsurpassed facilities, tools and hands-on experience

An education for a successful career requires real-life experience. As a Tricoci student, the clinic is your classroom. With the help of involved educators, you'll use the clinic as a way to apply what you have learned in the classroom, from lectures and demonstrations, while using creativity and skill to personalize each client experience.

And in order to train our students at the highest level possible, it's also important to have the most professional and state-of-the-art tools, equipment and facilities available. Beginning when you receive your generously stocked supply kit, you'll be impressed by the caliber of amenities and thrilled to learn in an environment that rivals the workspace of even some of the most high-end salons.

From student to salon-ready

Not all beauty schools are created equal. We consistently hear from salons, day spas and other employers that Tricoci University grads are prepared, confident, creative, professional and skilled at building client relationships.

Our unique foundational curriculum, unsurpassed amenities, expert staff, high-end salon and spa connections, and the Tricoci reputation itself will all help to make you ready and able to start a successful and lucrative career.
