Admissions & Enrollment
Are you ready to enroll with Dolly Monroe Beauty Academy? We’d love to meet you and get started on your journey to becoming a skincare professional. Be sure to schedule a tour with us so we can start working toward your beauty goals!
Why We Don’t Accept Every Applicant
At Dolly Monroe Beauty Academy, we believe that a focused, personalized learning experience is the key to nurturing elite beauty professionals. Unlike many schools that enroll as many students as possible, our mission is to maintain smaller class sizes and a highly engaged learning environment. This ensures every student has access to the individual attention and hands-on mentorship they need to excel.
Our admissions process—including a detailed application —allows us to identify truly passionate individuals who are committed to turning their love for beauty into a thriving career. By selecting students who share our values, we create a community that uplifts, motivates, and challenges each other to perform at the highest level.
Rest assured—our selectivity is not about shutting people out; it’s about bringing the right people in. We want every Dolly Monroe Beauty Academy graduate to represent the pinnacle of excellence in the beauty industry, confident in both their skills and their professional mindset.
