Dayton-Area Cosmetology School Closes Both Campuses, Leaving Students to Find New Programs

More than 200 students were affected when the Creative Images Institute of Cosmetology shut down both of its Dayton-area campuses Tuesday. Some were only weeks away from graduation.

Ohio News Network reports students were dismissed midday and that the school closed without giving students or state regulators the required 60-day notice. The school said it had run out of operating funds and needed more than $2 million to stay open.

Students need the school to release their training hours before they can enroll elsewhere. Warren County Career Center is assisting, ONN reported.
