Statement
It is the intent of this school to educate students
to the extent required to pass the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology State
Board Exams. The school also trains students to become quality
cosmetologists or nail techs who enjoy their work and are able to make a
long lasting and profitable career from the education they received.
The Owners

Ohio, and was established in January 2003.Our goal is to train
cosmetologists and nail techs to be ready to work in this exciting
career. The owners also run a successful salon and spa in the Calcutta
area and know what cosmetologists need to be successful.
We also are committed to making sure that each
student is able to pass the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology exam.
Cosmetology can be a rewarding and profitable career choice.

Nondiscrimination Policy
Designers Beauty Academy in its admission,
instruction, and graduating policies, practices no discrimination on the
basis of age, race, sex, religion, financial status, country, ethnic
origin or race. The practice and requirement of nondiscrimination also
extends to employment by the school and the administration of students
in progress and activities operated by the school.
Recruitment Policy
This school will not knowingly seek out, nor send
literature to students for enrollment in our school, who are in another
school of cosmetology that has similar courses of study.
Completion
and Expectations
Physical
Requirements
The cosmetology program requires students to
stand for much of the day, and to use repetitive hand movements.
The nail tech program requires extensive sitting.
Some repetitious hand movements are also required in this course of
study. Be aware of and adhere to all safety requirements at all times,
when using chemicals.
Employment
Assistance
Designers Beauty Academy does not guarantee job
placement; however, our school will help students to obtain a job in
their field of choice. We will maintain a list of salons in our area
that are in need of employees, and notify, by phone or mail, our
graduates of these openings. We have had a 100% job placement rate as of
2004 completion rates. We have many guest speakers in from area salons
to give you ideas and offer you employment applications before you
graduate. It is our goal to have every student employed before they take
their State Board Exams
Employment
Expectations
The Bureau of Labor states that jobs for stylists
will be growing at an average pace through the year 2010. Jobs for nail
technicians will be growing at a faster than average rate through the
year 2010.
Designers Beauty Academy has a better than 80%
licensure rate for those who take state board after graduation. We will
remediate anyone for another 100 hrs for no charge should you fail state
board and wish to retake it.
100% of our students have found job placement in
the local area once they are licensed. Beginning compensation for a
stylist will be about $7.00 per hour, plus tips, Beginning wages for a
nail tech are not able to be calculated in hourly wages and depend on
the hours worked and the salon in which you are employed. Evening hours
for both professions pay a higher wages than day time, and Saturday
hours are almost always required in order to obtain a job. There is a
high rate of self employment for this profession and you will need to
take the managing course if you wish to pursue this option for a
cosmetologist, it is included in the nail tech course. Make sure you
understand the employment situation in the salon you have chosen. Our
staff will help you in this situation.

If
student withdraws (Return of Title IV)
Students who receive
Title IV aid (Federal Pell, Federal SEOG, Federal Subsidized and/or
Federal Unsubsidized Stafford loans and PLUS) and withdraw from the
institution are subject to the Return of Title IV aid regulations.
(Federal law now requires that a student must "earn" the aid that they
receive.) When a student withdraws from the institution, the institution
is required to determine the amount "earned" using the Return of Title
IV regulations. ( For Clock-hour schools this calculation is based on
the number of hours the student attended divided by the number of hours
for which the aid was disbursed.)
Up through the 60% point
in each payment period or period of enrollment, a pro rata schedule is
used to determine the amount of FSA funds the student has earned at the
time of withdrawal. AFTER the 60% point in the payment period or period
of enrollment, the student has earned 100% of the Title IV funds he or
she was scheduled to receive during the period. The "unearned" portion
of the tuition will be returned to the appropriate Title IV program. The
college will then bill the student for the amount of tuition that was
returned in excess of the college's refund policy.
 | The "unearned" portion of
the aid that was disbursed directly to the student will also be
calculated. If applicable, the student will owe repayment to the Title
IV programs. The student will receive an overpayment letter and will
be given 45 days to make the repayment. The student will be ineligible
for further Title IV aid until the funds are repaid or satisfactory
payment arrangements have been made with the Department of Education.
|
Repayment of State Need
Grant is also calculated for any student completing 60% or less of the
hours in a given payment period.
For a student who
withdraws after the 60% point-in-time, there are no unearned funds.
However the institution will still complete a Return calculation
in order to determine whether the student is eligible for a post
withdrawal disbursement.
The calculation of Title
IV funds earned by the student has no relationship to the students
incurred institutional charges.
Refunds
Refunds for financial aid
recipients who do not receive Title IV aid, will be issued in accordance
with the Schools Institutional refund policy as stated on the schools
enrollment/registration form.
Distribution of Refunds, Repayments, and
Return of Title IV Funds will be done in the following order.
 | Federal Family Education Loan Programs |
 | Federal Pell Grant |
 | Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant |
 | State Need Grant |
 | Other programs providing aid |
 | The student |
Grievance
Procedure
In accordance with the institutions mission
statement, Designers Beauty Academy will make every attempt to resolve
any student complaint that is not frivolous or without merit. Complaint
procedure will be included in the new student orientation and posted in
the classroom; thereby assuring that all students know the steps to
follow should the desire to register a complaint at any time. Evidence
of final resolution of all complaints will be retained in school files
in order to determine the frequency, nature, and patterns of complaints

student of continued investigation and /or actions being taken
regarding the complaint.
- If the complaint is of such a nature that it
cannot be resolved by the corporate management, it will be referred to
- Depending on the extent and nature of the
complaint, interviews with appropriate staff and other students may be
necessary to reach a final resolution of the complaint.
- In cases of extreme conflict, it may be
necessary to conduct an informal hearing regarding the complaint. If
necessary corporate management will appoint a hearing committee
consisting of one member selected by the school who has had no
involvement in the dispute and who may also be a corporate officer,
another member who may not be related to the student filing the
complaint or another student in the school, and another member who may
not be employed by the school or related to the school owners. The
hearing will occur within 90 days of committee appointment. The
hearing will be informal with the student presenting his/her case
