Leading West Coast-based beauty school acquires Brio Academy to continue strong growth for 2012

Marinello Schools of Beauty, the West Coast’s largest and longest-established chain of beauty schools and a leader in Cosmetology, Esthetics, and Manicuring education, is rapidly becoming one of the nation’s fastest growing beauty schools with the addition of 10 new campus locations on the East Coast.

These new Marinello Schools of Beauty campuses will create educational opportunities for students on the East Coast looking for lucrative careers in the beauty industry or for professionals looking to jump-start their careers-in-progress. Formerly Brio Academy schools, there will now be nine Marinello campuses in Connecticut, with one location in Hamden. Each campus location will offer in-depth programs for cosmetology, esthetics, and manicuring education and provide exclusive salon and spa services to guests at affordable prices.

“This expansion to the East Coast is a monumental event in Marinello Schools of Beauty history,” said Dr. Nagui Elyas, President and COO, Marinello Schools of Beauty. “We are thrilled to provide more potential students than ever the opportunity to receive top-notch beauty education from our nationwide family of beauty schools.”

Since Marinello Schools of Beauty was acquired in 2004 by Dr. Rashed Elyas, Dr. Nagui Elyas, and CFO Michael Flecker, the company has experienced remarkable revenue growth and significant market expansion growing from 13 campuses in two states to 58 campuses in seven states. The company plans to acquire additional campuses in 2012.
