“Douglas J really surprised me with how much I’ve been learning, but also with how many opportunities are available to students. There are hair shows, guest speakers, conferences—so many things that are actually accessible to us that I didn’t expect coming to hair school. There are Beacon conferences, guest speakers from different salons, and a lot of support when it comes to getting placed in a salon.

Coming to Douglas J really showed me that the sky is the limit. They challenge us, prepare us for state board, and I knew coming here that I would leave successful.” – Katelynn, DJ Cosmetology Student
