Programs

The curriculum at the Cosmetology & Spa Institute includes the best of the Vidal Sassoon Academy, Aveda Institute and Paul Mitchell Cosmetology School. It’s designed to meet the needs of motivated, career-oriented students. We offer smaller beauty school class sizes to ensure that each student receives more one-on-one time with their instructor. The esthetician training and cosmetologist training CSI provides to our students prepares them for specific professional level careers.

The Cosmetology & Spa Institute in Crystal Lake focuses on learning through practical operation on a repetitive basis. This creates a great beauty school training atmosphere where you learn through hands-on experience. Our education is particularly directed towards helping students develop desirable attitudes and habits with respect to health, sanitation and safety.

Industry Experts

In addition, the Cosmetology & Spa Institute regularly schedules visits from guest speakers and educators from the cosmetology industry. They include instructors, professional stylists, salon owners and representatives from major manufacturers. Through these presentations, students gain insight into the "real world" of the cosmetology industry and receive valuable information on what it takes to be successful in it. Students and graduates alike appreciate taking advantage of CSI’s direct connection to the heartbeat of the ever-changing beauty industry.
