Milan Institute Campuses and Locations

Updated

Milan Institute operates career-training campuses in four states—California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas—and many of those sites also run Student Salons & Spas open to the public. The site lists each location by city and distinguishes standard Milan Institute campuses from Milan Institute of Cosmetology locations, so you can use the city list below to find the site nearest you and then confirm details through the location map or by phone.

Milan Institute vs. Milan Institute of Cosmetology

The naming matters if you are searching for a specific program or service. Sites labeled Milan Institute of Cosmetology are the cosmetology-focused locations (for example, Vacaville, Reno, Denton, El Paso, El Paso West, Plano, and San Antonio South). The remaining sites carry the standard Milan Institute name. If your goal is a beauty program or a student salon visit, start with the cosmetology-labeled sites; for programs such as Medical Assisting, Dental Assisting, HVAC-R, or Electrician Technician, check the standard campus list and confirm program availability at that specific site.

Student Salons & Spas

Many campuses operate a Student Salon & Spa or Student Salon where services are performed by students in training. The site lists these at locations including:

  • California: Bakersfield (Student Salon & Spa), Fresno (W. Shaw), Fresno (N. Fresno), Merced, Palm Desert (Student Salon & Spa), Vacaville, Visalia (Student Salon & Spa)
  • Nevada: Las Vegas, Reno, and Sparks (Student Esthetician & Massage Spa)
  • New Mexico: Las Cruces
  • Texas: Amarillo, Denton, El Paso, El Paso West, Houston (Student Salon & Spa), Plano, San Antonio Ingram Road (Student Salon & Spa), and San Antonio South

Because student-run services depend on the training schedule, confirm hours and availability with the specific location before visiting.

How to Confirm a Location

  1. Identify your city in the table above and note whether it is a Milan Institute campus or a Milan Institute of Cosmetology site.
  2. Open the location map on the Milan Institute site to see the site's address and details.
  3. Call 1-888-207-9460 to verify programs, tour availability, or salon services at that campus.
  4. Book a tour if you are evaluating enrollment; the site lists tours as an option alongside the phone line.

The site also references $500–$1,500 tuition scholarships; ask about eligibility and current terms directly with the campus rather than assuming a specific award applies to you.

Common Pitfalls

  • Assuming every campus offers every program. The program list (Administrative Medical Assistant, Electrician Technician, Advanced Cosmetology, Esthetician, HVAC-R, Barbering, Manicurist & Nail Technology, Cosmetology, Massage Therapy, Dental Assistant, Medical Assisting, and others) is institute-wide; individual campuses may not offer all of them.
  • Confusing similarly named Texas sites. El Paso and El Paso West are separate cosmetology locations, and San Antonio has both an Ingram Road campus and a South cosmetology site.
  • Showing up without checking salon hours. Student salons follow the training calendar, so call ahead.
