Price range: $$

A tour helps you see the grooming school environment, meet the people behind the program, and ask practical admissions questions before you decide.

See Class in Session

Visiting a school in person is one of the best ways to choose the right fit. On a tour you can see class in session, meet our instructors, and speak with our admissions team to get your questions answered. Tours are offered during scheduled school days, Monday through Friday from 8 to 5 (closed the week of major holidays), and we are happy to make other arrangements if those days do not work for you.

Cannot make it in person? We also offer one-on-one virtual tours via FaceTime or Zoom with our lead instructor. Just ask for the format that best fits your schedule.
