Cosmetology

Hyphen Beauty School will prepare you from no experience to licensed Cosmetologist working in a hair salon in 9 months. Classes run three days per week, which allow our students to continue working while training as a cosmetologist.

Hyphen only trains 18 cosmetology students per cohort which means plenty of time with our instructors. Additionally, Hyphen’s cosmetology students get access to our esthetics and nail technology instructors to enhance their training in these respective fields.

Why Hyphen is Different

Hyphen offers one of the top eLearning platforms for Cosmetology. Students attend in-person only three days per week while continuing their studies via our eLearning platform. All lectures and quizzes are delivered online so students maximize hands-on training when they are on campus.

While many schools require students to spend 4 to 5 days per week on campus, Hyphen’s eLearning platform allows students to graduate faster with less days in school. This means that students can graduate and become licensed Cosmetologists in 9 months as compared to other schools whose programs are 12 months long.

Even though students spend less time on campus and graduate faster, their knowledge and competency of their field surpasses Florida’s standards. Hyphen’s placement rate is consistently over 95% within 3 months of graduation.

The faster, more efficient program means lower tuition for students. Hyphen’s Cosmetology program costs $7,995 while most Cosmetology schools charge over $18,000.

Course Duration

1200 hours. Class instruction runs Monday to Wednesday from 9am to 7pm and you will complete the course within 9 months. Our instructor will work with you on a schedule in case you need to attend part-time.

We are currently building a waitlist for a Cosmetology class on weekends only (Saturday and Sundays from 9am to 7pm). If you are interested in this class, please select the WAITLIST option when you book your tour.

Hyphen accepts Spanish-speaking students as our eLearning platform can deliver content in Spanish based on your preference. Our instructors speak fluent Spanish.

Prerequisites

No prior experience needed. Students must have a high school diploma or GED by the time they graduate.

Total Tuition

$7,995. This includes 9 months of instruction, a cosmetology kit, uniform, all state board license and registration fees. We use the latest edition of Milady’s textbook, workbook and exam review books which you can purchase from Amazon. The ISBN numbers are listed below in the FAQ.

Only $600 is due at enrollment. The balance of tuition can be spread out over the 9 month program. This equates to $820 per month until graduation. If you decide to pay for the whole program at signup using cash, check or Zelle, you will get a free set of Milady textbooks.

We do not offer federal student loans or financial aid. However, most students will attest that this program is one of the best bang-for-your-buck programs in Orlando. Most students recoup their tuition within five months after graduation when working in a salon.

Career Opportunities

With a cosmetology license, you can practice in hair styling, esthetics or nail technology. Most graduates continue onwards to work in a salon or to start their own salon.

FAQ

When can I start?

Our Cosmetology program operates on a revolving 9-month “wheel.” There are numerous entry points throughout the year when you can start.

If you start in the middle of the current wheel (month 3), you would complete until month 9 and then finish when the class rotates past month 2 in the next revolution.

What language is the class taught in?

Our instructors for this class are bilingual. They will teach in either English or/and Spanish depending on which students are present for class.

Do you offer financial aid?

While we do not offer financial aid, we offer high caliber staff and facilities at a modest price.


At $7,995 for the cosmetology program, you will be hard pressed to find a school in Orlando of such quality at such reasonable prices.

We offer payment plans so you only need to pay $600 at enrollment and the balance can be paid monthly while you are in school. With a payment plan, you graduate at the end of 9 months without any student aid debt.

What is the ultimate cost versus a school that offers financial aid?

The typical cost of the Cosmetology program for a school that offers financial aid is $15,000. If you qualify, the government will give you a maximum of $6,495 in Pell grants which you do not need to pay back. This leaves you with $8,505 which you need to borrow from the federal government in the form of student loans).

At Hyphen Beauty School, the Cosmetology program costs $7,995. The total cost of our program is cheaper than schools that offer financial aid because the Pell grant covers only a fraction of the total cost.

You can enroll in the program with a $600 deposit. Then it is $820 per month and you will graduate without any student loans.

What books are required for the class?

We use Milady textbooks. Please bring the books (or e-books) to your first day of class:

ENGLISH

  • MILADY STANDARD COSMETOLOGY TEXTBOOK, 14th EDITION AND FOUNDATIONS WORKBOOK BUNDLE. ISBN: 978-0-357-87149-2

Do I need to take a final exam

At the end of the program, you will be invited to sit for the Florida cosmetology exam. In the State of Florida, all cosmetologists must pass this exam before receiving their license. Our school’s pass rate is above 95%.

In the advent that you do not pass on the first try, our instructors are available for further review in preparation for a second exam.
