Continental School of Beauty Student Salon & Spa

Continental School of Beauty Student Salon & Spa is a public-facing salon operated by Continental School of Beauty at 633 Jefferson Road in Henrietta, a suburb of Rochester, NY. The school was founded in 1961 and remains a second-generation family-owned institution with additional campuses in Syracuse and West Seneca. The Rochester salon gives students enrolled in cosmetology, barbering, and esthetics programs an opportunity to perform services on real clients under the direct supervision of licensed instructors. Because services are provided by students in training, prices are set below typical salon rates.

The student salon covers a broad range of beauty and wellness services across several disciplines:

• Hair services — haircuts, blow-outs, color touch-ups, and hair treatments
• Barbering — cuts and grooming performed by students in the barbering program
• Esthetics — facials, skin treatments, full-body wraps, and waxing
• Nails — manicure and pedicure services
• Makeup — application services

All services are performed using professional-grade salon and spa products. The school holds accreditation through NACCAS (National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts & Sciences), and its training programs range from roughly four to eight months depending on the track. The salon is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:45 PM, and closed on weekends. Appointments can be booked by calling the salon directly.

Continental School of Beauty has maintained a presence in the Rochester area for over six decades, making it one of the longer-running beauty education institutions in Western New York. The student salon model offers an accessible entry point for clients looking for hair, skin, and nail services at reduced cost, while every appointment doubles as hands-on training supervised by licensed professionals.

The Rochester campus sits in a street-level plaza on Jefferson Road in Henrietta, positioned between Interstate 390 and West Henrietta Road. This stretch of Jefferson Road is a busy commercial corridor lined with retail centers, restaurants, and service businesses, making it easy to combine a salon visit with other errands. The location is accessible from I-390 and offers the convenience of plaza parking directly in front of the building.
