Offering a higher education in hairdressing

Upon acceptance, the Academy and the student agree upon an enrollment date. The student signs the enrollment agreement and pays the registration fee. A state issued I.D., high school diploma or equivalent, and birth certificate or social security card are mandatory for the registration process.Admission RequirementsUpon meeting registration requirements, applicants may enroll in the TONI&GUY Hairdressing Academy Basic Cosmetology program.

Welcome to the Toni&Guy Academy
The philosophy of our academies is simple; we are guided by four core principles: Educational Excellence Consistent Quality Commitment to Culture Customer ServiceEducational Excellence We will always strive to offer our students the strongest education and curriculum available, with the right tools, motivated instructors, latest advancements, and the most hands-on experience possible. Our commitment is to our students' success through the excellence of their educational experience, and our goal is to constantly raise the bar.Consistent Quality Across everything we do - from courses to operations, equipment to products - we strive for the highest quality throughout our academies. Quality creates an environment where people can learn and want to work. It also instills an ethic and an expectation that our students carry with them throughout their careers.Commitment to Culture Though we operate at the leading edge of fashion and glamour, our roots remain centered. We treat students as family. We know them by name. We care about them as people. It is because of this culture that our graduates have become our greatest advocates. It is through this culture that we are most rewarded. Hear what the students have to say in their own words.Customer Service Our customers are our students and our clientele. We strive to make them happy by offering exceptional outcomes to both. It is through the diversity of our student body and our client base that we learn and improve. It is through outstanding customer service that we continue to exist.
Instruction The first 350 to 400 hours will be spent receiving step-by-step instruction that takes the student through each of the New Classic Cuts and the New Classic Colour Collection, and then advances from there. TONI&GUY Academy uses video, live instructor demonstrations, illustrations and textbook examples.Practical Knowledge TONI&GUY believes that students learn best when they are free to experiment and able to develop first-hand knowledge. To enhance this learning experience, students mix their own color in the dispensary instead of having an instructor do it for them. Using TIGI professional colour line, TONI&GUY spares no expense to provide opportunities for hands-on, practical applications of color techniques.Hands-On Experience The clientele that frequents our academies primarily requests cut and color. This provides the optimal opportunity for the students to develop the skills most needed in the field today, and to maximize familiarity with the latest trends. Our students will tell you that they are able to create a customer base that will follow them after graduation.Licensure While working on the floor, TONI&GUY Hairdressing Academy also prepares students to pass the necessary state board successfully. The skills required for these tests are somewhat different from the typical styles used by our salons. Working on practical tasks outlined on the state board sheets will ensure that you receive the proper education to successfully pass the state board.Networking & Industry Contacts Being a part of the worldwide TONI&GUY superbrand with its own line of products, 12 hairdressing academies and the largest salon base in the world has its advantages. The top educators from the TONI&GUY team get very involved with the education at the academy. In addition, there are numerous seminars and networking events held by local salons and big brand names like Goldwell and L'Oreal. Students can use these opportunities to see real world examples of the hottest trends in the market, as well as be exposed to local employers. Many students build relationships while at the academy that launch them into their new career quickly upon graduation.
