About the college

For Ruth Maurer, wife of Dr. A. A. Maurer, the dream of one day owning and running a prestigious beauty salon became a reality when she cooked a batch of face cream in her basement. The year was 1903 and just 2 short years later Marinello School of Beauty opened its doors for the first time. The school was named after Giovanni Marinello, the founder of modern cosmetology. Today the school is still going strong training a new generation of cosmetologists and offering services to the public performed by students.
