About World Beauty Schools

What this is

World Beauty Schools lists beauty and cosmetology schools, barber schools, colleges, specialist academies for nails, lashes, brows, makeup and permanent makeup, spa-training providers and brand-operated academies, the places where they actually teach, and the specific courses and qualifications they offer. It serves students looking for local training, career changers, practitioners adding skills, prospective instructors and international applicants.

Providers, teaching locations and courses are kept separate: a school group can teach in several cities, and prices, kit, entry rules, schedules and teaching language belong to the individual course, not to the school.

What it is not

• It is not a school, a licensing authority or an accreditation body, and is not affiliated with any. Listing a school does not mean its certificate confers a licence or permission to practise anywhere.
• It is not a league table. Our researched shortlists are unranked, state their criteria and limitations, and cannot be bought.
• It is not an application or booking service. Enrollment happens on each provider’s own website.
• It does not cover every provider. Coverage is tracked by destination and, in the United States, by state; gaps are shown as gaps, and we do not claim to be exhaustive.

Teens and children

Courses for teens or children are listed separately from adult training. We do not create profiles for minors, collect their personal details or pass messages between minors and providers.

How it is funded

Basic factual listings are free. The site is funded by clearly labelled sponsored placements and advertising; see the sponsorship disclosure. Sponsorship never buys verification, recognition, reviews or a place in a researched shortlist.

Who runs it

World Beauty Schools is operated by Piksel & Co Digital LLC, a company registered in Delaware, USA. Contact: hello@worldbeautyschools.com, or use the contact page.
