WHY RIGGINS BEAUTY

Why can you trust Riggins Urban Beauty College with your future? Simply put, we believe in people not programs

Launched in 2024, our cosmetology program was built from the ground up to challenge the status quo. We developed a modern, agile curriculum that evolves alongside the latest trends.

 

At RUBC we inspire innovation and shape the future leaders of the San Diego beauty industry

INNOVATE

Our educators are carefully selected to bring a collective 35 years of industry experience directly to the clinic floor. Our lead theory instructor doesn't just teach, she actively shapes the market, running her own successful salon.

 

For us, tradition is about passing real-world knowledge to the next generation, helping you build a life through a skill that helped them build theirs 

TRADITION

Positioned in the cultural hubs of Southeast San Diego and the South Bay, RUBC connects you with a highly diverse clientele. This firsthand variety deepens your tool bag, teaching you to master all textures and trends with absolute versatility.

 

Through cross-campus events, you will network and collaborate across both locations to build your professional circle early. You will graduate with more than a license. You will leave with the network and real-world depth to be a true industry heavy hitter.
