FAQS
Q, Can you tell me if I will be guaranteed a Student Loan?

Q. Can you tell me what my monthly payment will be if I attend part-time?
A. We will have to establish an attendance schedule for you and calculate the months you will be attending class.
Q. Can I do the Scholarship Application On-Line?
A. No. You must complete a paper application and return to us in order to be considered for the Award.
Q. Can I complete my Enrollment On-Line?
A. No. I have to see you in person in order to get some signatures on your contract and the State Registration.
Q. I don't want to attend Saturday because I go to the lake on the weekend?
A. Saturday Class Attendance is MANDATORY. Saturday is a big day in the Beauty Industry. If you choose to work in a Chain Salon after graduation you will be required to work Saturday and sometimes Sunday.
Q. What is the youngest age I can enroll in school?
A. Arkansas Department of Health states: You must be 16 years of age to be licensed. You do have to have the 10th grade completed or take an equivalency test that will determine your grade level. We do have access to the test on-line and there is a fee you would be charged to take the test.
