1000 Hour
Hair Designer
Life Is More Beautiful When You Meet the Right Hair Dresser
Have a passion for hair? You can pursue an education in everything hair related in our 1000 hour Hair Design program. Unlike our 1500 hour Cosmetology program, this program only has courses in hair, including hair cutting and styling techniques, hair coloring, and more. Do what you love and create stunning looks that are sure to sparkle!
Skip The Skin & Nails
This program is focused on all things hair!! Students will get an in-depth look at a variety of hair techniques that can help them with a future as a licensed Hair Designer. Within this scope of practice you will learn chemical reformations, hair cutting, color techniques, styling and more.
What To Expect at Salon Schools Group
Our passion is helping students achieve their dreams! While we focus on the required skills like hairstyling, hair cutting, and hair design, that’s only a small portion of what you can learn. As a student at Salon Schools Group, you can learn basic anatomy to understand how a client’s face shape affects the style that looks best for them. You can also learn basic chemistry and an overview of how products interact with the hair.
These concepts are crucial to your education, because understanding how to care and style hair can help you keep clients coming back to you again and again!
Once you have the techniques down, then it’s time to build the business and marketing side of the beauty industry. In this program, students can practice what they’ve been taught on our clinic floor with real guests. All students will be supervised by a trained professional, so they can get expert advice whenever they need it. You can run a successful consultation and recommend products your guests can use to replicate their looks at home.
What Can You Do With a Hair Design License?
What you do is up to you! The beauty of an education in hair is that you can have the flexibility to work in a salon or pursue a career elsewhere. As part of an education at Salon Schools Group, you can gain the support you need to do what you love! While we can’t guarantee employment, we’re always willing to lend a helping hand with career resources through school sponsored activities and internships with salons in the area.

"The Spa School offers a wide variety of services and has amazing students performing them."
"The spa school is a great place to go and get services and support the learning environment."
"I took my mom there for her birthday, and for my hair done as well. The young lady who did my hair was AWESOME!!! Her name was Briann I think and she was amazing. I have "natural ethnic" hair and she talked me through everything she was doing and did an amazing job. She has a customer for life!! My hair feels like it has NEVER before, she was funny, humble, sweet, knowledgeable and made the whole visit fun. Her tip was more then half of my cost and I felt she deserved more. I want her to always do my hair even AFTER she graduates. I can’t say enough about this young ladies talent and my enjoyment of being around her. IU Briann."
"The ladies (students) at the Spa School in Graceland are amazing. I had a brand new person and she has never done layers and she did a wonderful job. Her name is Tory!!"
