So appreciative of Shear Excellence Team. Without this school I honestly wouldn’t have been able to come and attend Cosmetology School. Shout out to my teachers for always pushing and encouraging me even when I’m frustrated. Oh and as a student you’re only going to find this atmosphere here, no other school in the area can give you what they have created here.

In the School's Words

Our mission is to help every student realize their true potential. We achieve this by providing the maximum amount of scholarships and financial aid possible, constantly monitoring each student’s progress and goals, as well as fostering a strong educational environment. Through us, students develop confidence and skills to serve clients in a variety of beauty and wellness settings. In addition, they gain the knowledge to run their own business as a beauty professional. With our effort, students reach their goals as licensed beauty professionals, and achieve what they thought was not possible.

Our state of the art facility is conveniently located in Niles, IL, at the Golf Mill Shopping Center on the corner of Golf and Greenwood, inside the mall next to AMC Theaters. We welcome you to visit our school and see how you can become a future beauty professional!
