Why Beyond for La Habra Students:

La Habra sits right at the edge of Orange County — close enough to Whittier and La Mirada that many local residents already work, shop, and commute into LA County daily. For beauty school, that proximity matters: you're closer to Beyond's accredited campus than you are to most beauty schools in the heart of Orange County, and our partnerships with Dermalogica (esthetician program) and Aprés Nail (nail tech program) give you industry-backed credentials that travel with you anywhere in California.

Beyond 21st Century Beauty Academy was founded in 1997 by Miss Maria — a two-time Teacher of the Year and CCA School Owner of the Year — with over 47 years of experience in the industry. We've graduated over 2,100 licensed beauty professionals, many of them from La Habra, Whittier, Brea, and the surrounding communities. Our campus at 13640 Imperial Highway in Santa Fe Springs is a straight shot west on Imperial Highway from La Habra — no freeway required — and arrives at the campus in approximately 10 minutes.

Financial Aid

Federal financial aid — including Pell Grants — is available to eligible students in our cosmetology and esthetician programs. Because Beyond is NACCAS-accredited and approved by the U.S. Department of Education for Title IV aid, many La Habra students significantly reduce their out-of-pocket costs. Our FAFSA school code is 041482.
