Will I receive a license from the school?

No. The New Jersey Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling provides licenses. Our school provides the education you need to sit for the State Exam. If you pass the exam, you could get a professional license.

State Licensing Disclaimer

The state may refuse to grant a license if a student has been convicted of a crime; committed any act involving dishonesty, fraud, or deceit; or committed any act that, if committed by a licentiate of the business or profession in question, would be grounds for the New Jersey Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling to deny licensure. The New Jersey Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling may deny licensure because the applicant knowingly made a false statement of fact required to be revealed in the application for such license. Students who are not U.S. citizens or who do not have documented authority to work in the United States will not be eligible to apply to take the state licensure examination. Total Image Beauty Academy is not responsible for students denied licensure.

I recently graduated at Total Image and I can say I enjoyed and learned a lot during my time there. The environment is very welcoming in this school, and my teachers were always really supportive towards me. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in the program.

Helen G.

I had an amazing experience at Total Image Beauty Academy. Mr. Mike, Irene,, Sylvia, & Tania were all very helpful to me during my time there. All the girls i’ve met in the school were all so sweet & made the environment feel more comfortable/ welcoming. I definitely enjoyed being a senior & taking clients with the help of two of the best teachers ( Miss Gomez & Miss Jimenez😊) They assist the students with their clients & prepare them for what it’s going to be like when they graduate & work in salons, I just recently graduated from the school & i can honestly say, I really enjoyed my time there. If you’re struggling to find a good school to get your license i would definitely recommend this one!!
