ABOUT

The Orlo School of Hair Design and Cosmetology is an independent, privately-owned cosmetology school devoted to educating new cosmetology industry professionals. Our students move on to a variety of careers, from working as hairdressers, makeup artists and estheticians to owning independent beauty salons and representing major industry product companies.

​

At our cosmetology school, we’re interested not only in the creative aspects of cosmetology but the business of our industry, as well. Our students are prepared to start their own careers, and if they choose, to start their own businesses. While they learn how to style the looks of the individuals in front of them, they also learn how to attract new clients and how to retain them.

​

There are a lot of beauty schools – why Orlo?

​

We know the decision about which beauty school to attend can be difficult, but we promise you this –

We’re passionate about what we teach, and you can tell that as soon as you walk in our doors.

​

Every day at The Orlo School of Hair Design and Cosmetology, we witness students channel their passion for beauty into real-world skills that shape their futures. Over the years, we've proudly trained thousands of aspiring professionals who have earned their New York State cosmetology licenses and launched successful, fulfilling careers. As one of the Capital Region’s top beauty schools, we’re excited to continue inspiring and educating the next generation of beauty industry leaders.
