Take Advantage of Our Program Trial Period

See if beauty school is right for you. At Rudae’s School of Beauty Culture, students enroll in a trial or “try-out” period. This means you can attend one of our programs without incurring any charges or receiving funds from Federal Student Aid (FSA). This trial period is 30 days from the start of classes for programs that are longer than 900 hours and 15 days for programs that are less than 900 hours. If you continue beyond the trial period, we will process the FSA funds as normal. All charges and funding will include the trial period.

You will be treated as a regular student during your trial period, and you must meet all the school’s regular admissions requirements. This trial period is not for Ability-to-Benefit purposes.

See What Our Students Have To Say

I went to Rudae's in 2020, & had a great experience despite the craziness of the world. The instructors I had helped me learn as much as I could while in school, & pushed me to be my best. I am now a level 4 stylist, & an educator in my salon. I have a very loyal clientele, who I adore & doing hair has brought me so many opportunities! I love my job! My advice to future students is to never get comfortable. Always keep learning, always want to know more. Our industry is ever changing & continuing your education is the best way to give your guests the experience they deserve. Stay up with the trends, learn the new techniques... invest in yourself. It pays off in the end!

Rudaes school of beauty culture is not your typical classroom experience. It is in this building that my closest friendships were built and my foundational skills were perfected. I’ve made many mistakes and learned brand new lessons but I also earned an immeasurable about of joy and laughter. This is the kind of program that takes a lot before it gives but it’s 10/10 worth it

I started my beauty career working at Sephora for a few years when I decided to enroll into Rudae's cosmetology program in 2018! From the start, all of the teachers and staff were so supportive and I loved how involved they were. I met some of my very best friends at Rudae's and I loved my entire experience there. From the education, to the on-hand portion, Rudae's curriculum was the perfect mix of work and play. With my cosmetology license, I now manage full service medical spa here in Fort Wayne where I manage and oversee all of the esthetics and cosmetology services. Rudae's gave me a well rounded background of management, training and all services knowledge to utilize in my beauty management career currently. Advice for future students: you get out what you put in. Use this time to experiment and play and fully invest yourself now. This industry isn't faltering in any way and there's plenty of business to до around! Do it well, do it kindly.

As a graduate of rudaes beauty college I had a great experience in school. In the beauty professional world I gained good experiences in the school that I used in my professional life. I got to make like long friends and learn the tools I needed to build a business. Long term my plan was to make the my world a beautiful place I think rudaes gave me the tools to make that happen.

Frequently Asked Questions About Admissions and Enrollment

Can I transfer to Rudae's from another beauty school?

We do allow transfer students into our Cosmetology program. However, we do not accept transfers into any of our other programs.

Can I enroll part-time?

Yes, we offer full-time and part-time schedules for our programs. There are several different schedule options, including night classes. We strive to make it possible for students to fit a beauty education into their busy lives!

How old do I have to be to enroll?

Our policy states that students must have graduated from high school or have completed a GED equivalent. The state law says that any person qualified to receive a certification of registration to practice as a registered beauty culturist (cosmetologist) must be at least 17 years of age.

Do all students get to work in the student clinic?

Yes, all students are allowed and expected to work in the student clinic area, providing real services to clients under the direct supervision of our licensed instructors. This is one of the ways we make beauty school exciting and beneficial to you!

What do I do if I'm not sure which program I want to enroll in?

If you have looked at each of our programs and you still are not sure which one is right for you, we encourage you to do some thinking about your interests, dreams for the future, and current responsibilities.

Do you love to work with hair? Then, Cosmetology could be the right choice for you. Are you most interested in nails? Consider enrolling in our Manicuring program. If you love skincare, Esthetics may be right for you. If you love all things beauty-related, and you have the time and resources to take a 1,500-hour program, we encourage you to take Cosmetology. A cosmetologist learns about a wide variety of services and techniques, which means graduates of the Cosmetology program could have more options available to them.
