When I was looking into cosmetology school, the only one that came to mind was CTC! I’ve known so many people who graduated from here who are well known and successful hairdressers! I definitley feel prepared for my career because CTC gave me a great foundation to grow from.
I’m a very proud graduate. CTC gave me the fundamentals and allowed me the opportunity to take what I learned and develop my own style. I absolutely love being in the beauty industry. CTC is an amazing school, and I’d choose it all over again.
CTC is by FAR the best school in Acadiana. Amongst the highly experienced teachers, the respectful staff and the very well-trained students… it would be difficult to find anything in comparison. Highly recommend for both clinic work & career choice!
