About Local Beauty Schools

Local Beauty Schools is an independent directory of cosmetology, barbering, esthetics and nail technology schools, starting with California. Schools are organized by state, city and program.

Where listings come from

• California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, Approved School List (08-25-2026): name, address, city, ZIP and phone of board-approved schools. This list does not say which programs each school offers.
• NCES IPEDS / College Navigator: 2023 Institutional Characteristics and Completions files from the U.S. Department of Education. Schools are included when they reported completions in the program codes listed for each school.

The directory currently has 298 listings. Each listing page links to the public source it came from. We do not make up businesses, schools, ratings or reviews, and we don't publish prices.
