School Accreditation

You must attend a school that is approved by your state to provide training in the discipline you want to practice. Check with the school and the state board to be sure that your program of study will prepare you for any applicable state licensure.

A portion of your training will cover sanitation. This will help prevent you from spreading fungus and bacteria from one client to another. Some schools make a point to educate students about business practices and ethics as well. Examples of schools in Tennessee include:

– Genesis Career College of Lebanon in Lebanon, TN
– Regency Beauty Institute in Chattanooga
– Aveda Institute Nashville in Franklin, TN
