Why Hands-On Experience Sets PJ’s Students Apart

At PJ’s College of Cosmetology, we believe that real learning happens when you work with real clients. That’s why every one of our 11 campuses across Indiana and Kentucky features a student salon where you’ll gain invaluable hands-on experience under the direct supervision of our licensed instructors.

More Than Just Practice

While other schools might focus solely on theory, our student salons provide something textbooks can’t: real-world experience. You’ll work with clients from your local community, learning to handle different hair textures, skin types, and client needs. This practical experience helps you:

• Build confidence in your technical skills
• Develop essential communication abilities
• Learn proper time management
• Master sanitation and safety protocols
• Create a professional portfolio

Preparing You for Success

When you graduate from PJ’s, you won’t just have completed your required hours – you’ll have months of experience working with actual clients. This hands-on training is why our graduates feel prepared and confident when they sit for their state licensing exams and begin their beauty careers.

The PJ’s Family Difference

For over 30 years, our family-owned institution has maintained a supportive, encouraging environment where students are treated like family members. Our knowledgeable instructors don’t just teach techniques – they share their passion for the beauty industry and help you discover your own path to success.
