How To Grow Your Cosmetology School

Improve Your Cosmetology School Admissions Process

Operating a cosmetology school is a complex integration of compliance, student recruitment, educational curriculum and a hands-on salon experience. For those working in this space, EDlumina Admissions can help optimize your admissions operations and increase enrollment.

CRM for Cosmetology Admissions

EDlumina Admissions is an online customer relationship management (CRM) platform for cosmetology schools, built by a team of experts from the cosmetology and vocational education arena. Our platform offers automated text and email messaging, 100% online documents and e-signature, one-click customizable reporting, and cloud-access from any computer or smart device around the world. Most importantly, Cyanna offers US-based customer support from people who have years of experience in cosmetology schools, college Admissions, and educational compliance operations.

Top 5 Reasons Why Cosmetology Schools Choose EDlumina

Aside from EDlumina being a great CRM and edtech platform, there’s more than just technical specifications when it comes to why schools choose EDlumina. We sat down to discuss how in years of experience working with cosmetology schools, we found that there are 5 major reasons why they select EDlumina Admissions as their CRM of choice:

  • Relationships: most of our clients are long-term partnerships built on trust.
  • Consultative approach: we provide insight & best practices for admissions while remaining connected to the importance of compliant operations.
  • Easy pricing: we don’t offer “one size fits all” pricing, and we don’t charge per user or per student.
  • Fast implementation: we can get you up and running fast. We recently just implemented an 8-campus school in just 4 days.
  • Customer service: all our customer service is US-based with Central Ohio roots, and members of our team have worked in cosmetology schools.

Connect Your Existing Systems

Our team can help get your existing website connected with EDlumina to collect new lead information and UTM lead & vendor sources. EDlumina Admissions connects directly with our clock-hour SIS EDlumina Student, as well as with our online course delivery platform, EDlumina Catalog. We also can connect to your existing student information system or financial aid management software, allowing for a smooth data transition from prospective lead to enrolled student. Via Zapier, EDlumina can connect with thousands of the most popular apps, so you can automate your work and have more time for what matters most—no code required.
