Texas Beauty School FAQ
We have 93 accredited beauty schools on file across 52 cities in Texas, sourced from US Department of Education (NCES IPEDS) data. Use the directory tables on this page to browse by city or open individual school profiles.
Most schools on file in Texas list cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, or nail technology in their institution names or program titles. Exact offerings vary by campus, so contact each school directly. Texas cosmetology licensing generally requires 1,000 hours of approved training before you can sit for the board exams. See the Texas cosmetology licensing guide for the full rule set.
Yes. Many Texas students complete our online theory course first to build a foundation in sanitation, skin science, and client care before enrolling in an accredited in-person program. Our course does not replace the 1,000 hours of hands-on training Texas requires. Pair it with a school from this directory and the online cosmetology course page for Texas to plan your path.
Preparing for school in Texas?
Our online courses build the theory foundation before you start in-person hours.
