Take the First Step Toward Beauty School

Starting beauty school is a big decision, and you should have clear answers before you enroll. At Moler, the admissions process is designed to help you understand your program options, tour the campus, review requirements, and talk through the next steps with someone from our team.

Moler offers Barbering, Cosmetology, and Esthetics programs at campus locations in Oakland, Hayward, and San Pablo. Whether you already know which program you want or you are still deciding, admissions can help you compare your options and understand what training may look like.

The best place to start is with a campus tour. You can see the learning environment, ask questions about schedules and financial aid, and talk with admissions about your goals.

Student Testimonials

What Our Students Are Saying

Real students. Real results.

★★★★★

The definition of hidden talent. Great students and teachers. They have beauty school salon prices. They do braids here as well. Very impressed with the service I received.

★★★★★

Nothing but a great experience here. You’re not a Guinea pig when you sit in that chair - you’re a client; albeit one of your barbers first. These barbers have a great vibe at this location and nothing beats the $10 price… although I suggest to plan to say thank you for your great cut with a $10 tip on top of it. Huge shout out to Hunter who gave me an awesome haircut!

★★★★★

I'm always satisfied with the haircuts I get here. The student barbers are extremely detail-oriented and reliable.
