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.

You can speak to an admissions representative to learn more about your scheduling options and potential start date.
