Trendsetters School of Beauty & Barbering is a private for-profit vocational school located in Jacksonville, Florida. Situated in a large city setting, the school offers certificate programs in both Barbering and Cosmetology, providing students with versatile training pathways across the beauty and grooming professions. The school maintains a small, focused enrollment of 40 students (IPEDS 2023), creating an environment conducive to close mentorship and individualized hands-on instruction.

Trendsetters reports a completion rate of 80% and a perfect retention rate of 100% (IPEDS 2023), indicating that every enrolled student continues through their program once they begin. The school holds a quality score of 68.33/100. Both certificate programs are one-to-two-year tracks designed to prepare students for Florida state licensing examinations in their respective disciplines.

Offering dual tracks in barbering and cosmetology distinguishes Trendsetters from single-focus beauty schools, giving prospective students the choice between two complementary but distinct career paths. Jacksonville, as one of the largest cities in the southeastern United States, offers a sizable market for licensed barbers and cosmetologists. For students drawn to the personal care industry, Trendsetters provides a small-school experience with strong persistence metrics in a growing urban job market.
