The Beauty School
Where Beauty Becomes a Profession.
The Beauty School was born out of that same drive. A few years ago, Diane began the process of getting her retail building zoned as a North Carolina cosmetic arts school — a project that meant fitting out equipment, building walls, and meeting every state requirement, all while working through a written approval process with the state board during the height of COVID. The pandemic delayed the opening, but in 2021, the doors finally opened.
It’s a milestone she calls her hardest and most rewarding business yet. She and her husband, who she credits as her biggest supporter through 33 years of building businesses together, worked side by side to bring the vision to life. What sets The Beauty School apart is its focus on the business of beauty, not just the technical skills needed to pass a licensing exam. Students split their time between the classroom and the clinic floor, where they get hands-on experience working with real clients, learning how to attract and retain business, and building the confidence to eventually run their own salon or booth rental. Graduates leave with the client relationships they built during school — a head start most cosmetology programs don’t offer.
