Broken Arrow Beauty College has been helping students pursue their beauty careers since February 1969. After changing hands a few times, the current family took over in 1983 when the school had just 11 students enrolled in the cosmetology program.
Originally located on Main Street in Broken Arrow, OK, the school quickly outgrew its space. In 1988, after 19 years in the same location, the college moved to a larger facility on Elm Place near the Rose District. In 2019, we made a permanent move to Tulsa. In 2023 we realized we needed more space and began the work on a new campus. In October 2024 we moved into our new larger location in Broken Arrow near 91st and Elm Place.
Over the past 55 years, the college has continued to grow. In 1985, we became the first Pivot Point School in Oklahoma, combining a business-focused education with our beauty curriculum, which helped drive our rapid expansion and success.
Our mission is to provide a conscientious, scientific educational training program, based on proven techniques and sound business principles to prepare our graduates for gainful employment in the profession of Cosmetology, Barbering, Esthetician, Manicurist, or as a Master Instructor.
By 2003, we knew it was time to grow. The demand for enrollment at Broken Arrow Beauty College was skyrocketing, with longer waitlists and limited space. So, we came up with the perfect solution, open a second location! In 2004, that vision became a reality. We purchased our Tulsa, OK location early in the year and officially opened its doors in May. Since then, the Cosmetology Education Center has steadily grown, producing classes full of skilled beauty professionals.
In 2019, we merged the Broken Arrow campus with our Tulsa location, transforming it into the Broken Arrow Beauty College we’re proud of today!
Broken Arrow Beauty College has been a family-owned school since 1969, and it’s still run by the second generation of the Sells family today. For the Sells, this isn’t just a business; it’s about a real passion for education and giving back. We’re committed to offering an education that gets you ready for the real world, whether it’s in cosmetology, esthetics, manicuring, barbering, teaching, or the beauty industry as a whole. At Broken Arrow Beauty College, we don’t just treat you like a student, we treat you like family.
