Professional Cosmetology Institute

Professional Cosmetology Institute, which will be in the Columbus-area suburbs of either Dublin or Powell, is committed to offering high-quality programs with the most up-to-date and relevant curriculum, professional and engaging instructors, and encouragement through practical application.  Courses will include certification tracks for Cosmetology, Nail Technology, and Esthetics, as well as offering continuing education courses and seminars.  Professional Cosmetology Institute will also provide the public with well-priced beauty services.

Professional Cosmetology Institute will serve an important role in the community, training the next generation of beauty professionals.  This has historically been a recession-proof part of the economy.  More than 100 million people visit salons each month, as this $65+ billion industry is a vital component of people's day-to-day lives.  The market specifically for skincare and nailcare services is over $12.7 billion annually, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that approximately 43,000 positions for skincare  and nailcare specialists will be added by 2029.  For people seeking to start a career or transition to a new career, it is important to receive top-notch training and education.

The market for beauty schools specifically is approximately $2 billion annually, and the Professional Cosmetology Institute will be locally owned, non-franchise beauty school with unique specializations and esthetic courses.  In the fast=growing Columbus region, there is a need for new training services so new professionals can meet increasing demand.  Franklin and Delaware counties, for instance, have a combined population of over 1.53 million, adding more than 200,000 residents in the past decade.

Professional Cosmetology Institute will establish itself in this area by finding a great, high-traffic location, marketing throughout the build-out process and then throwing a grand opening event.  The Company will advertise in local media outlets and will also be promoted at high schools, colleges and elsewhere throughout the region, as well as using online advertisements, SEO for its website, direct mail, flyers, and community networking.  All marketing will be aimed at establishing Professional Cosmetology Institute as the premier beauty school in the Columbus area, with a goal of having multiple locations within a few years.

Professional Cosmetology Institutes founder, has been a stylist since 1991 and has an extensive background as a cosmetology instructor and former teacher in vocational and high school settings.  He is also the Chief Operations Officer of a salon business-development and consulting company.  With Professional Cosmetology Institute, he will help to ensure the next generation of stylists and estheticians receive top-notch education in the Columbus area.
