Testimonials

"Over 20 years ago, I graduated from Volunteer Beauty Academy. During the years of building and developing my business, I have reflected on moments of my education. Each day as I work with clients, I can remember my instructor's words. I've applied those techniques and the professional people skills I was taught. I have done well in this business and plan to continue working in the beauty industry as long as I'm able. There's many things a person can do with a cosmetology license. The business of beauty is very rewarding and I thank VBA for a great education and training!"

"As a former student of Volunteer Beauty Academy, my experience was awesome. The everyday class experience was exciting and very educational. There was plenty of one on one time with instructors. The level of professionalism was above what I expected. This sense of professionalism was passed on to me during my time at VBA. The training I received led me down the path to true success as a cosmetologist. I owned 2 salons within a year of completing my training. I am still thriving as a cosmetologist today, and would not be without the help and education I received at VBA."

"Hi, my name is Tyson. I graduated from Volunteer Beauty Academy in 2008. Since then I have worked with some of the best stylists and at one of the most outstanding salons in Nashville. VBA taught me everything I needed to pass the state board exams. They also helped me find a job and start a great career in the industry. The school was able to work with me financially and schedule wise, and I finished the cosmetology course in just 12 months. With their friendly staff and their fun environment you are sure to enjoy this school."
