Mission Statement

The philosophy of Lancaster Beauty School (LBS) is to offer training to prepare successful graduates with the skills needed to secure

employment in cosmetology arts and sciences, and /or other related fields, and/or unrelated fields. We continually survey the profession

to keep abreast of current trends, designs, and techniques required by employers. Teachers give “individual” as well as “class”

instruction. This combination helps serious students to realize their goals.

Both academic and career standards are maintained to ensure graduates are capable in their profession. The curriculum is flexible enough

to allow for new procedures and techniques as they are developed, yet solid enough to maintain high academic standards. The final

objective is, of course, to graduate students who will secure and retain employment and advance in their profession.
