The Clary Experience
Being a Clary Sage College student is about more than sitting in a classroom, it’s an active, exciting education that will keep you on your toes and fill your resume with industry experience and portfolio worthy materials before you graduate.
Clary Sage College offers a vibrant and hands-on educational experience that goes beyond the classroom. Our programs are designed to be engaging and dynamic, providing students with real-world experience and impressive portfolio materials before graduation. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 25:1 in labs and 30:1 in lectures or online courses, students receive personalized attention from our experienced faculty, each with at least three years of industry experience.
We proudly offer distance education classes, making our programs accessible to a wider audience. Eligible students can also earn an Associate of Occupational Science degree with just ten additional classes. Clary Sage College is accredited by the ACCSC, a nationally recognized accrediting agency by the U.S. Department of Education, and licensed by the Oklahoma Board of Private Vocational Schools. Our programs are also approved by the Oklahoma State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering, and we are authorized to offer Occupational Science Degrees by the Oklahoma State Regents.
Our beautiful campus features an indoor waterfall, an outdoor patio, and state-of-the-art labs that simulate real-world environments, such as our Cosmetology Salon, Barber Shop, Esthetician Lab, and Massage Area. At Clary Sage College, we are committed to providing an enriching and comprehensive education that prepares students for successful careers in their chosen fields.
Opportunities
At Clary we like to have fun, you might even find yourself participating in events like photoshoots and fantasy hair competitions. Many of our programs help you build customer service and client retention skills while working with real clients from the community and receive special training in networking and resume development through the Clary experience.
What you put into your education matters.
Our stand-out students are recognized through our honors program and receive special recognition at graduation.
Clary Sage College is a premier cosmetology and design schools in the country. With recognition from industry leaders, many of whom take the time to speak to our students in-person or through special Skype sessions, Clary Sage is a local, Oklahoma-grown school setting itself apart on a national level. Our students have had the opportunity to hear from Nick Arrojo, Andrew Curruthers, Sonya Dove, Nick Stenson, Ivan Zoot, Patrick McIver, James Ryder and other industry leaders and trendsetters.
Clary students have many opportunities to gain experience through volunteering opportunities, like Cuts for Kids, a campus wide event for our Cosmetology and Barbering students which sees hundreds of kids from the community come in for a free haircut before each new school year.
Our massage students also work on professional athletes from our partner FC Tulsa, Oklahoma’s premier professional soccer club that plays in the USL Championship, giving them invaluable professional experience.
