Cameo College of Essential Beauty

Cameo College of Essential Beauty is a private for-profit vocational school located in Murray, Utah, in a small city setting within the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. The school offers three certificate programs in the beauty and personal care field: Master Aesthetician/Esthetician, Cosmetology/Cosmetologist General, and Hair Styling/Stylist and Hair Design. With an enrollment of 505 students (IPEDS 2023), Cameo is a mid-sized beauty school providing multiple specialized pathways into the industry.

The school reports a completion rate of 81% and a notably high retention rate of 98% (IPEDS 2023), suggesting strong student satisfaction and consistent engagement throughout the training process. Cameo College holds a quality score of 68.17/100. Each of its three certificate programs focuses on a distinct area of beauty services, allowing students to choose a specialization that matches their professional goals rather than pursuing a single general cosmetology track.

The master aesthetician program is particularly notable, as Utah is one of the few states that recognizes a master esthetician credential with an expanded scope of practice. Students in the Salt Lake City metro area seeking careers in skincare, full-service cosmetology, or hair design will find Cameo's focused program options and strong retention outcomes a compelling starting point for entering the beauty profession.
