Students begin as an "Initiator" learning the fundamentals of cosmetology in an exciting, high energy, highly motivating atmosphere under the dedication of a skilled instructor. This is the foundation from which students will begin their
growth-through studying the theory of cosmetology and through working hands-on with hair.  The program is enhanced with a commitment to professional development and it incorporates a strong business component. The next step is the "Achiever" where students will put into action the theory learned during the first phase. The basic skills are tried and
tested and the student's artistic talent begins to shine through as they begin their quest to becoming a skilled professional. As "Visionaries" students will be perfecting hands-on creations and learning from highly skilled advanced instructors. Students will be encouraged to step outside the fundamentals to test their own personal style. Becoming "Leaders" prepares students for the final phase of the program where they will be expected to grow their
talent to the highest of their ability in final preparation for becoming a future "Industry Leader".
