A family school, opened twice

Linton Beauty College has been a Halbach family school from the start: founded by grandparents, taught by their daughters, reopened by their granddaughter.

    Early 1970s

    Charles and Lola Halbach, licensed beauticians in Linton, open the college to share their trade. Their students are known for a high pass rate, and their daughters Diana Teague and Kathy Smith Bayne graduate and go on to teach there.

    After many years of service, with the founders' health failing, the family closes the doors for what they think is the last time.

    Their granddaughter Tera Orman, a licensed cosmetologist, earns her own instructor's license and opens Linton Beauty College again.

“Linton Beauty College is not just a school, it's a family.”

Giving back

On a Saturday in December the school holds its Hope Drive, giving the day's hair-service takings to the Madi's Hope Foundation for local children and families. The 2022 drive raised over $1,200, along with toys, food and coats for a local shelter.

In its first year, with anonymous donors, the college awarded five full scholarships.

The student salon is open to everyone

Our students do the work, with their instructors helping them learn. Walk-ins are always welcome; call for prices and appointments.

Haircuts for men, women and children, perms, coloring, foiling and specialty foiling, styles, braiding, scalp massage and conditioning treatments.
