A student named Dahlia gave me a perm at Educators of Beauty in Peru, and I have to say, I am absolutely stunned. The quality of work is unbeatable, especially at their price point. It may have taken a bit more time then a professional salon, but the cost savings alone was worth it, not to mention the service is incredible. The teacher, as well as all of the students are incredibly kind and polite, and the place is kept absolutely immaculate. They have created a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere over there, and I would strongly recommend anyone looking to get work done to give them a call!

Editor's Description

Educators of Beauty has many Illinois locations, and the Peru location has a 4.9-star rating on Google reviews from customers of the student salon. For the price, the quality of the work at Educators of Beauty is unbeatable. Samantha Reynolds reviewed it as a former student, saying, "It's a great college to attend.... I recommend this school to almost everyone I see that has any questions. Thank you guys for giving me the best education I could possibly ever get!"

The Peru location focuses on the fundamentals. You sharpen your technical skills in the student salon so you can graduate ready to work. The school curriculum is unique, with cutting-edge techniques and Erick Fisher's ProsperU: Drivers of Success to teach you how to run and market a salon business.

The school provides each student with a cosmetology education kit, including an iPad to practice using the Learn About Beauty digital platform, real-hair mannequins in varying hair textures, professional-grade equipment, a lash and makeup kit, and other resources.
