Our students had no private loan debt, nor did they have any school financing plan debt.

Our 2009/2010 on-time completion rate was 58%. That means 18 out of 31 graduated exactly on time.

Our average attendance rate for our 2009/2010 graduates was 97%. We are really proud of that! Every single one of our graduates completed their training within the normal times for thier individual schedule.

We stay in touch with our graduates to see how they are doing. 29 out of 31, or 94% of our 2009/2010 graduates are working as stylists in salons. Our typical graduate gets their license roughly 8 to 10 weeks after graduation and starts working very shortly after receiving their license. We report our job placement success to both the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences, and the Maryland Higher Education Commission.

Our Cosmetology program is a clock-hour program. We literally record every hour that you are in attendance, and you graduate the day you reach 1500 hours. Please refer to our "Schedule of Classes" on this website for how many months it takes to graduate with our variety of schedules.

It is our mission to prepare our students for the world of professional cosmetology. It is our responsibility to train students in accordance with the regulations of the State of Maryland, in skills and techniques of beautification. Our instructors hold themselves to the highest degree of professionalism and expect the same standard from their students.

The management and instructional staff of Blades have a strong belief in the capabilities and talents of our students.
