Elgin beauty school student success stories

  • As a child of a former cosmetologist, I always had a huge passion for the beauty industry. After my enrollment meeting with Tricoci University I knew TUBC was where I was supposed to be. The energy that the staff has is contagious and that passion continues through in the work and teachings of their educators. From advanced hands on teachings to helping me prepare for my career, I graduated from Tricoci University feeling confident and prepared for my future.

    – Krissy

  • I was enrolled in another school and decided to check out Tricoci University to compare. When I first walked into the campus I could immediately see how much more of a professional atmosphere this school was and made the switch. Tricoci gave me the technical and professional skills I needed to become the best me I can be and I am proud to say I am a tricoci alumni.

    – Daved

  • As an Esthetics student who is almost half-way through my program I couldn’t be happier with my choice in attending Tricoci University. On my first day my teacher told us to look around because the people in our class and campus will soon enough feel like family, I didn’t believe her then but she was so right; With how closely you’re working with your classmates you really do become close and my teachers thus far have been supportive, knowledgeable, and understanding. They care about our success and are always available for advice and tips on networking and the industry. I’m so impressed with what I’ve learned so far and the further along I move in my program the more excited I am to hit the ground running in my career.
