Classroom Training and Preparation
Your first 300 hours of training takes place in our hands-on classroom. Unlike other schools, our class isn’t a lecture hall or filled with books; instead, you’ll receive a valuable hands-on learning experience at workstations. You’ll use your workstation to practice on mannequins, learn the fundamentals of running a salon, and work one-on-one with our experienced instructors, who have been in the industry for years and come from all over the country to teach our students. The world of hairstyling is always evolving—having access to our experienced instructors provides valuable insight to:
- Cutting
- Coloring
- Shampooing
- Styling
- Perms
- Advanced Color/Cutting Techniques
- Skin Care
- Manicures
- Pedicures
- And More!
By fulfilling your training, we help you prepare for the state practical and written exams by giving you a practice exam in our student-run salon and spa.

Someone will always be available to answer any questions you have as you learn how to work in a real salon and perform your skills on customers.
