The Stage One The Hair School Enrollment Process

Ready to start working towards a future as a makeup artist, hair stylist, nail technician, or other career within the beauty industry? Our training courses are carefully designed to give you an opportunity to gain in-demand skills and prepare yourself to sit for the state licensing exam. But first, you’ll need to complete our enrollment process. Here’s how to enroll in our Lake Charles beauty school:

  • Schedule a tour of our campus. All prospective students are encouraged to take a tour of our campus before completing enrollment. This is an opportunity to see our beauty school in action, meet some of our instructors, and see actual classes in progress. You’ll complete an interview with a member of our admissions team during the tour, which is part of our enrollment requirements.
  • Submit your application. You can pick up an application during your campus tour or simply stop by the admissions office during business hours and request one. Return your completed form to the admissions office.
  • Provide documentation. You must submit a copy of a few documents along with your application, including your high school diploma (or equivalent) and a valid ID. Other documentation may be necessary depending on your circumstances and the program you are enrolling in.

Once accepted, you’ll receive information with details about your start date and class schedule. Please note that Stage One The Hair School reserves the right to change scheduled start dates and/or class schedules as needed.
