Anecdotally, we've always heard from salon owners that TUBC's graduates were more advanced than graduates from other schools. To test this idea, in 2010 we engaged an independent research firm, Research America, to call over 200 salons and spas (of all types) to get their perspectives on graduates from TUBC and other leading schools in Illinois.
As the table below shows, the results confirmed what we had been hearing. Join our current TUBC graduates on the fast track to a successful career!
