OUR STORY
Your School of Beauty Culture, then known as Mildred’s Beauty College, originated on the West Side of Chicago, IL on June 1st, 1966. Mildred’s Beauty College operated successfully from 1966 – 1979 until the founder, Dr. Mildred Dixon, fell ill. After graduating more than 1,200 cosmetologists, in 1980, Dr. Dixon decided to temporarily close her business to get her health in order. In 1988, due to the overwhelming request from former students, clients, and aspiring stylists Dr. Dixon re-opened her school with her sister the late Mrs. Lily C Perkins- Rollins, and in honor of the community and their support it was renamed “Your School of Beauty Culture”.
In 1997, Your School of Beauty Culture moved to its present location in the Chicago’s historic Bronzeville community and continues to add to its success. Your School of Beauty Culture specializes in teaching all phases of beauty and barber culture. The school is now the oldest privately-owned trade school offering education in the art of cosmetology science. Known and respected throughout the Chicagoland area and nationwide beauty industry, Your School has kept a higher standard of learning, Maintaining an 80 percent graduation rate and most importantly a state board passing rate in the 90 percentile (within all offered courses), epitomizes the excellence that is Your School of Beauty Culture. In November 2015, Your School of Beauty Culture was approved to offer all facets of the cosmetology arts and continues to strive for success at every turn.
