1200-Hour Hair Design Program

Have a passion for hair? You can pursue an education in hairstyling in our 1200-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!

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 their hair.

These concepts are crucial to your hairstyling 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.

Testimonials

"I had a very pleasant experience! The student who cut my hair, named Samantha Morelock and her teacher Ms. O’Donnell were excellent! I’m very happy I went to the Spa School!"

Judy P.

"Education made fun! The school faculty did a fantastic job of preparing us for State board!"

Amanda W.

"I have been a student here since April 2014, I can only say it’s a great place to learn and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. The instructors and staff are the best."

Lyndsey Marie Boudrie

"You know.. these teachers deal with a lot and students constantly come and go with education being fast-tracked into graduation. I’m not going to get into the complaints (which I do have like everyone else) or discredit the bad reviews here. I enjoyed the majority of my time in school and Mrs. Turf was the most wonderful teacher to her students. I have never had a better teacher than her."

"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."
