La Mirada Is in Our Backyard
Santa Fe Springs and La Mirada are adjacent communities separated by just a few miles. For La Mirada residents, Beyond is closer than schools in Anaheim, Fullerton, or Long Beach — and far more accessible than traveling to Los Angeles. Our campus is located at 13640 Imperial Highway, just off the 5 and 605 freeways, making the commute from La Mirada a straightforward 10-minute drive.
La Mirada students have been part of the Beyond community throughout our history. Whether you're a recent high school graduate, a working adult looking for a career change, or someone returning to school after time away, our flexible scheduling and financial aid resources are designed to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Why Beyond, Not the Alternatives?
La Mirada is also within reach of schools in Fullerton and Anaheim, but Beyond offers something those schools don't: a Dermalogica partnership for esthetic students, an Aprés Gel-X certification for nail tech students, and a family owned hands-on staff. We're also NACCAS-accredited, which means our students can access federal financial aid that non-accredited programs cannot offer.

Community College vs. Private Cosmetology School in LA + OC
Many La Mirada students weigh Cerritos College against a private beauty school. Community college tuition looks lower on paper, but semester scheduling often stretches licensure out much longer than our 1,000-hour program — and our founder Miss Maria, a two-time Teacher of the Year with over 47 years in the industry, has guided more than 2,100 graduates to licensure since 1997. Here is the honest breakdown of cost, time to license, and State Board pass rates: community college vs. private cosmetology school in LA + OC.
