A Family-Owned Beauty School that Brings Out the Best in Emerging Artists

When you are setting out on an educational journey to learn how to be a cosmetologist, esthetician, nail technician, or beauty school instructor, you want to find a school that treats you with respect and dignity. Instead of being just another student in a large group of students, you want to be recognized for your unique talents and strengths and helped through the process of learning new skills. PJ’s College of Cosmetology has 11 campuses throughout Indiana and Kentucky, and each one is focused on delivering a high-quality beauty school education to each of its students. Our small class sizes allow the instructors to work one-on-one with the students, helping them meet their educational goals.

We also take a wider view, helping our students understand the problems and obligations of our community. We hope to foster an appreciation of the beauty industry and help each student become aware of the professional demands and needs of the industry. As we teach and guide them, we hope they learn the job skills they will need to know in their future careers and develop desirable social skills, so they can interact well with others.

Commitment to Quality Beauty Education

PJ’s College of Cosmetology has a good reputation in our local communities. We believe this reputation has grown from the large amount of time and effort we put into providing the best beauty education possible, placing focus on our educators, products, curriculum, and facilities.
