Vski Cosmetology School

Enrolling at VSKI Cosmetology School has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. After being out of school for 16 years, I was nervous about starting over, but VSKI instantly made me feel supported, welcomed, and capable. The instructors here don’t just teach you how to pass State Board (though they prepare you extremely well for that). They teach you real salon skills, real professionalism, and give you the confidence to step into this industry with your head held high. My experience wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, life had its ups and downs, and school had its tough days too, but the environment at VSKI truly felt like a family. The instructors are knowledgeable, funny, patient, and genuinely invested in your success. They push you, encourage you, celebrate you, and give you the space to grow into the stylist you’re meant to be. Between the hands-on training, State Board prep, and clinic floor experience with real clients, I walked away knowing I am fully prepared for my career. VSKI didn’t just make me a better stylist, it helped me become a more confident version of myself. I learned my strengths, found my voice, and discovered skills I never knew I had. This school gave me the foundation I needed to go out into the world and start my journey in the beauty industry. If you’re thinking about enrolling, do it. Whether you’re starting fresh, coming back after years, or chasing a dream you put on hold, VSKI is the place that will meet you where you are and help you become who you want to be. I’m graduating with skills, confidence, and a career I’m proud of—all thanks to VSKI.

I am so glad that I chose this school! Each instructor has something different to offer and they are continually improving their program to meet the students’ needs. If there was ever an issue that was brought to their attention, they were quick to address it. Thanks to their dedication to teaching (and my eagerness to learn), I was able to pass my state boards with little to no anxiety! The instructors also understood the importance of knowing the science behind the why’s in our industry which is huge. You can also tell that they genuinely care about each student’s success. They are incredibly knowledgeable and talented and I am not only a better stylist, but also a better person for having known them. They do require students to leave a review on certain social medias as a part of rubrics, which I feel is sketchy. However, I have already graduated from there and I don’t have any pressure to leave this review. There have been some people who have had issues with this school. I never had any. If you are thinking about coming here you have to be dedicated, responsible, and motivated. If you love to complain, crave drama, are lazy, and/or prone to making excuses for your lack of motivation, then please just save the other students that actually want to be there (and are actually excited to be there) the headache and go somewhere else where they won’t care if you show up or not. I want it to be clear, though, that the instructors will hold you accountable while being understanding of your personal needs and situations. They want you to do more than just graduate. They genuinely want to see you succeed in this industry! From the very first day in class to the time that I graduated, I loved every minute of my 1500 hours. I have zero regrets coming here. I would 100% recommend this school to anyone who is serious about wanting to join our industry! They thoroughly train you for your state boards to the point that you could do it in your sleep! But it is worth it when you walk into the testing center knowing that you are going to nail it. They instruct you just as thoroughly in theory too! They want to produce capable and safe stylists and that’s exactly what you will be when you graduate! Thank you Vski for such a wonderful and inspiring experience! I am more excited than ever to start my career!

Going to vski has been one of the best experiences. The instructors are super supportive and really help you grow. I’ve learned so much and gained real confidence working with clients. The vibe is positive, and everyone feels like family. I’m so glad I chose this school it’s truly helped me find my passion.

I have been going for years to allow the students to color my greys! I continue to go back because at this school the instructors come by in the beginning, middle and end to be sure student feels comfortable and has what client is looking for. Hannah is the student I’m currently with and she is so good that I booked highlights and a cut and left very happy! The color they use ( Moroccan oil) is the best and my scalp agrees! Chris ( I believe owner and instructor) guided Hannah on some great tips throughout! She chose this school for smaller class size and instruction and for this she will soar in this beauty business! I’ve been to all the other schools in town and this is the BEST!

I can't say enough great things about VSKI Cosmetology School and their Esthetics program! The curriculum is incredibly thorough and well-structured, covering everything you need to build a strong foundation in esthetics. What really sets VSKI apart are the instructors—they are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely committed to helping each student succeed. They take the time to ensure you not only master the techniques but also feel confident applying them in real-world settings. They even bring in industry professionals for demonstrations and to share their real-life experiences, which adds so much value and insight into what to expect once you’re working in the field. I highly recommend VSKI. It’s an amazing school with an even more amazing team behind it!

Students and teachers from Vski Cosmetology School volunteered to do hair and makeup for our East Cooper Newcomers Club Fashion Show and they did a fantastic job. They were extremely talented and worked with each model to create hair and make-up that not only looked good on them but that coordinated with their outfits as well. All the models were thrilled with the outcome of their session and it showed as they walked the runway! Thank you Vski for supporting our Fashion Show!

I would like to express my gratitude to Vski Cosmetology, where Nicole Herrera did an excellent job on my color and cut. The results exceeded my expectation. . During my beach vacation, I found it remarkably easy to maintain this new style. Thank you!!
