My experience was great at Centralia Beauty College. I learned so much in my time there and had so much support from both instructors and my classmates. They set the foundation of my skills by and how to incorporate those skills behind the chair. I have learned more than I thought there was to learn about hair from CBC and use all of those skills behind the chair today. This college sets you up for success in your career in every way.

I really loved attending Centralia Beauty College. I enjoyed the people in the program and felt comfortable around the students and teachers. They helped me and always took me seriously. and have taught me well, showing me the good and the bad. They educated me hands on as well as with pencil and paper. I would have never thought i would like attending the program as a guy just looking for barbering classes not highlights perms color pedicures etc… Over the time I did learn that knowing more will get you further. I do not regret attending Centralia Beauty College and I thank all my teachers for getting me through it.

I personally graduated from this school and I can legitimately say that it is a great school. The instructors are AMAZING and prepare you so much for when you move onto working in the real world. They’re there to truly help you and push you to be your best and they have the best personalities. The owners are GREAT and very good at what they do. If you are thinking about trying out beauty college either now or maybe in the future I highly recommend this school. Thank you Centralia Beauty College for everything!

When Centralia Beauty College or Steve and Rhea are brought up in my life, the first thing that comes to my mind is excellent. They go above and beyond for their students and staff. my time there exceeded expectations all around From the amazing instructors to the facility and the curriculum. If it wasn’t for the wonderful support of the staff and pushing me to never give up and keep going forward I wouldn’t have had the foundation to be the confident stylist, calm, education hungry stylist I am today. Any time CBC is mentioned or someone is thinking about doing hair I highly recommend that they reach out and at least do a tour!
