How is Hyphen different from other trade schools in Orlando?

Many trade schools and technical schools in Orlando require long daily schedules and higher tuition. Hyphen uses a hybrid model: lectures and quizzes online, hands-on training in person. This reduces the time you spend in classrooms and cuts tuition costs so you pay half of what you would otherwise pay at a technical school.

Is Hyphen considered a trade school or a beauty school?

Both. Hyphen is licensed as a beauty school, but we operate like a trade school or technical school, offering focused vocational training that leads directly to state licensure and careers in cosmetology, esthetics, nails, and massage.

If you’re looking for a beauty school, technical school, or trade school in Orlando, Hyphen Beauty School offers affordable, accelerated programs with proven results. Whether you’re interested in cosmetology, esthetics, nails, massage, or full specialist training, Hyphen provides the skills, licenses, and career support you need.
