Take Your Career to the Next Level by Learning Cosmetology

Go beyond barbering and into the world of cosmetology! This streamlined bridge program for master barbers in Georgia can provide you with the knowledge and hands-on training to become dual-licensed as a barber and a cosmetologist. As a licensed barber, you have already learned some of the same information as cosmetologists, which means you do not have to take the full cosmetology program. Instead, take this Cross Over: Master Barber to Master Cosmetologist Program, which covers hairstyling, skincare, nails, and more in a concise, 300-hour program to prepare you for the state exam. Pursue a cosmetology license through this program at our Atlanta Buckhead campus. To learn how to enroll, please contact our admissions team.

Stay ahead of the curve in the ever-changing beauty industry.

The objective of the Cross Over: Master Barber to Master Cosmetologist program is to provide licensed master barbers with the comprehensive education, practical skills, and theoretical knowledge required to become dual-licensed as master cosmetologists. This 300-hour bridge program is designed to build upon your existing barbering expertise while expanding capabilities in hair color, chemical texture services, skincare, nail care, and other core cosmetology competencies.

Marisa Costigan

I am really glad I took the laser class offered at The Elaine Sterling Institute. Elaine’s school is very nice & professional. Tony Stanfill is an excellent instructor and she is very thorough in teaching laser safety and education. I thought there was plenty of hands on experience with the different lasers. After taking the class, I got offered a position at a dermatology practice.

Elaine, it was my pleasure to get to know you and have you as my mentor during my time as your student during my introduction to esthetics. Without your expertise and approval I may not have had the confidence I needed to face such a major career change. Thank you so much!

I have really enjoyed Ms. Gina's online class! She is an awesome teacher and breaks down the material for comprehensive and does not overwhelm.
