Testimonials

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!

Rudae’s school of Beauty Culture is the best place to learning the basic knowledge of beauty. The instructors and students are so nice and they’re a beautiful people. Made me feel like it’s my home! 🥰

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.

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
