Our Objectives

We at the The Academy of Hair Design, Inc. are dedicated to the process of preparing our students for a career in Cosmetology through the continuing effort of training each individual student in all areas of Cosmetology.

This is accomplished by insuring that our instructors are continually being updated in the area of practical application and teaching methods, not only as provided by our Pivot Point Organization, but also through outside sources, such as the Kansas State Board of Cosmetology seminars. Upon graduation our students will be able to pass the Kansas State Board of Cosmetology tests and secure a license for a rewarding career in cosmetology.

This is accomplished within the guidelines established by the Kansas State Board of Cosmetology and NACCAS.
