Many dream of one day becoming a cosmetologist. If you’ve been searching for the right place to get hands-on experience in every facet of the field, from haircutting, coloring, perming and current hairstyles to nail techniques and facials, Claremore Beauty College is dedicated to helping each student learn all the basic requirements of each course so the student will have a firm foundation to build on in their career. In April of this year, Claremore Beauty College celebrated 45 years of service to the community and surrounding areas. Financial aid is available for those who qualify.
Denise Nelson, owner and instructor, and Mindy Gerving, instructor, bring a wealth of knowledge to help students achieve their goals. Claremore Beauty College stands apart from other schools of its kind for several reasons. One unique attribute is that the school offers a hands-on curriculum beginning the first day of class. “From the first day of attendance the student will be learning not only from their textbook, but hands-on projects on the mannequin. We also have an excellent clientele coming in regularly, so students get plenty of practice working with real people as well.”
Personal, one-on-one education is a priority at Claremore Beauty College. “Our students do not get lost in the crowd,” Denise explains. “We work with each student and focus on teaching them interpersonal skills to make them even more successful in the cosmetology field.” The college also boasts a 100 percent pass rate at State Board.
Denise and her husband, Duane, have owned the school since 1996. “We have enjoyed seeing many young people succeed in their lives,” she says. “It is wonderful to take a young person into the school and see the difference in one year’s time. He or she can go from a quiet, insecure and sometimes unmotivated individual to a confident, knowledgeable and successful career person.”
Located one block from downtown Claremore Main Street, the 3,330-square-foot facility consistsof one major clinic area, individual work stations, one large classroom, a library, and an administrative and counseling office.
More than 13 of the Claremore area salons are owned or managed by Claremore Beauty College graduates. “I am proud of all our graduates and thrilled to see them enjoy success in the growing field of cosmetology,” says Denise. “It’s always a joy to see each one in town and hear their success stories.” Claremore Beauty College has educated more than 1,500 students since opening its doors in 1969.
“We pride ourselves on offering an outstanding education,” she adds. While the student may have to do a project repeatedly to accomplish a task, in the end they are proud of their progress. “Every student learns at a different level, and we understand that. Some students learn very quickly and others need extra attention.”
Because Claremore Beauty College never overcrowds the school – keeping class sizes to 15 to 20 students at any given time – the students receive one-on-one attention with the instructors.
Another thing that sets Claremore Beauty College apart from other schools is that the 50-week long course is all-inclusive, meaning the tuition fee covers all aspects of the cosmetology business. “I want our students to have a well-rounded education,” says Denise. “When they graduate, they’ll be a hairstylist, a nail artist and a facialist.”
Denise encourages those seeking a cosmetology career to check out the school they are considering and ask, “Will I learn all the basic information I need to be successful by the time I graduate?”
Claremore Beauty College is open to the public for appointments. All students are supervised by qualified instructors.
