Start selling cosmetology courses from your own site for free.
Masteriyo is the all-in-one LMS plugin built for beauty & cosmetology educators who’d rather demo techniques than wrestle with checkout pages, plugin stacks, and platform fees.

Why beauty & cosmetology educators move to WordPress
Stop building your beauty school on someone else’s platform.
Hosted course platforms work fine when you’re testing the idea. But once your cosmetology teaching practice is real, WordPress gives you ownership, lower fees, and room to grow at your own pace.
Stop sharing every sale with Teachable.
Hosted platforms keep raising fees as your audience grows. Masteriyo runs checkout natively on your WordPress site — no marketplace cuts, no transaction fees.
Own your student relationships.
Your audience, email list, enrollments, and student progress stay connected to your brand — not locked behind a platform’s login screen.
One plugin, not five.
Lessons, quizzes, certificates, payments, drip content, and student tracking — all handled inside one WordPress LMS. No fragile chain of add-ons.
Sample course structure
Your first cosmetology course, live this afternoon.
Structure your curriculum the way students actually learn: short technique walkthroughs and styling demonstrations, guided practice, downloadable technique cheat sheets, and progress checkpoints. Drop in your own videos, customize the modules, and you’re enrolling students.
