Hair Design Program
Create Your Foundation for a Future Career in Hair
The haircut is the foundation of success as a hair designer! Learn to use tools like shears, clippers, and razors to create modern men’s and women’s styles. Then build on that foundation by learning how to chemically enhance those styles with color, perms, and relaxers. Our hair design program offers small class sizes and one-to-one instruction to refine your skills and build your confidence in hair design.
Ready to learn how to create the latest styles in hair? Call our admissions representatives to book your campus tour and start the enrollment process.

Hair Design School FAQs
This course is shorter than a traditional cosmetology program, as the course’s primary focus is hair and not skin and nails. Because of this, students can complete the course in as little as ten months. We offer both day and night courses, and your completion date will depend on your chosen schedule. You can speak to an admissions representative to learn more about your scheduling options and potential start date.
Yes! We’re accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS). This means our courses are held to rigorous standards, so you can be confident in the education and training you receive. It also means our courses are eligible for federal financial aid, giving you more options for paying for your beauty education.
Yes, financial aid is available for those who qualify.
