I was referred to attend the Academy of hair design from a former student and now a very successful Hairstylist. And she was right, they will get you test ready and ready for the real world. I loved going to school. I was extremely happy with the education I received at the Academy.

Thank you Academy of Hair Design for pushing me, being there for me, challenging me, and most helping me have confidence in the beauty industry. I am very glad I chose this school. It has been a very positive place to be. Everyone is so welcoming and it's something I'll never forget! Thank you!!

I went here last year under the nail technician program and it was a great hands on experience. They supplied me with all of the tools Iโ€™d need to be successful. Iโ€™m now a year in working at a nail shop with a steady clientele thanks to the job placement program. 10/10 recommended if you want to get licensed.

Iโ€™ve only been going to this school for three months and Iโ€™ve learned so much. Iโ€™ve always had an interest and a good understanding of hair but the school has helped me improve what I already knew and help me understand what I didnโ€™t. All of the teachers are very nice and will help you with anything you are having trouble with. Iโ€™m really excited to graduate and start my life as a hairstylist.

BONNIE CORTNER

My education has not only taught me so much but it was so fun and enjoyable. The staff and students made each day beautiful. It didn't feel like just school or work, it was more like a big family that helped each other be successful.
