The College adheres to a student personal appearance policy to encourage professional behavior and conduct, and to prepare students for their future careers. Safety and comfort are also a consideration in the adopted personal appearance policy. Adherence to the personal appearance policy discussed below is required for all students on campus and those attending or participating in college events or activities off campus.
Students in violation of the personal appearance policy will be given an opportunity to conform to the policy. Students who do not or cannot conform to the policy when asked will be dismissed from campus or the activity until they can appear in proper personal appearance.
Massage therapy and advanced medical spa therapy students must wear the Bryan College uniform while on campus participating in practical classes and student clinics.
Students are exempt from wearing the Bryan College uniform only during the following circumstances: they are waiting for the delivery of a uniform in their size, they are at the campus to write a theory exam only. In both circumstances students are expected to be dressed appropriately and professionally to match the industry they are training for.

- Consistent bathing and oral hygiene.
- No heavily scented perfumes, colognes, or lotions.
- Fingernails neatly manicured and of a length that does not compromise physical activities.
Jewelry and Piercings
