Our History

Tricoci University was founded in 2004 by beauty industry legend Mario Tricoci, who built a highly successful chain of upscale salons and day spas under the “Mario Tricoci Hair Salon & Day Spa” and “Mario Tricoci, Too” brands.  Mario conceived and launched a brand new company, Tricoci University of Beauty Culture, to introduce fresh and innovative cosmetology and beauty school curriculum, providing students with advanced technical skills, ethics, professionalism and leadership values.  Due to rapid growth in the salon and day spa industry, particularly in the more upscale segments of the market, salon owners are asking for new technicians to possess a higher level of technical, customer service and client-building skills.  TUBC is filling this need using it’s beauty schools to produce salon-ready professionals that are eager to start their successful careers in cosmetology, esthetics, nail technology, and as teachers.

Mission

Tricoci University of Beauty Culture believes success for our students and associates results from our people-centered culture.  We are passionately committed to preparing students to become licensed professionals within the beauty industry.

Culture

The Company’s culture has been formed principally by Mario Tricoci’s high degree of professionalism, taste, aesthetic refinement and work ethic. As with his salon business, the resulting culture of Tricoci University of Beauty Culture is hard-working, professional, creative and loyal. This culture, along with the Company’s superior programming and facilities, has elevated the industry’s standards for the teaching of cosmetology school students and for the operating of a beauty school clinic.
