About
It all started when…
The story of FUTURAMA BEAUTY ACADEMY started with a local family that has owned and operated the beauty school for over 30 years. Our story, our ties to our communities, and our care for students have driven this school to success for many years. FUTURAMA BEAUTY ACADEMY was established over 30 years ago here in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. Ms Antonia Murillo opened the school in 1988. She had been in the beauty business since 1965 and her family continues to run the academy today.
Our school has been around a long time, but that doesn’t make us old. It means we’ve learned the right way to educate and train our students for a lifetime of success in the field of cosmetology. Our educators stay on the cutting edge of all the latest styles & trends.
FUTURAMA BEAUTY ACADEMY offers the Cosmetology, Manicuring, and Instructor courses. Our courses have been approved by the Illinois Department of Licensing and Regulation. FBA is approved by the U.S. Department of Education.
98% State Board Pass Rate.. HOW? It’s simple – and really hard! Our students pass the state exams because they are prepared. We train our students so they know the content, and we test our students internally to make sure they know the state requirements before heading in to that room to take their tests. That means our students take their tests with confidence, knowing they are ready to pass their exams and move on to their professional careers.
