See What Our Students Have To Say

I’m a previous student at pinnacle! This is the best school in the area if you’re thinking about going to cosmetology school! I went to take my state board tests and passed with good scores! Other students from different schools didn’t have a clue what was going on! They make sure to prepare you for absolutely everything!

I feel great coming to Pinnacle Institute of Cosmetology. The salon has EXCELLENT instructors and students that are ALWAYS professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable.

M Vasquez

I had a great experience with Pinnacle! From the written education to the practical experience we were able to learn not only what we needed to excel at state board but a wide area of skills we had further interest in (updos, braids, balayage, extensions). The educators provided a different perspective on each skill which was presented to us with patience and kindness. I was able to bond with every educator in my own way and truly am so grateful for my experiences with every one of them.
