Academy of Hair Design in Anchorage, Alaska. This directory can help you to decide which Academy of Hair Design is the best beauty school for you. You should look at all of the schools available to you, call the salons you're interested in working for and check out all of the academies of hair and beauty schools websites. When you attend beauty school you will have to do a certain number of haircuts, perms, colors, relaxers, shampoo sets, thermals (blow dries & iron curls), etc. and these numbers are added each month until you have enough of the "practical operations" to qualify to take the Alaska State Board Exam. In addittion to the practical requirements you will also have to collect theory (class instruction) hours and rules and regulations. The Alaska State Board Practical Exam always takes place on a Sunday and the written exam always takes place on a Monday. It's not extremely difficult to pass the board exams but it is absolutely critical that you learn modern haircutting techniques and unless you have outstanding haircolor techniques you'll never survive as a hairdresser.

What IS an "academy"? Definition - Main Entry: acad·e·my Pronunciation: \ə-ˈka-də-mē\ Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural acad·e·mies Etymology: Latin academia, from Greek Akadēmeia, from Akadēmeia, gymnasium where Plato taught, from Akadēmos Attic mythological hero Date: 1549 1 a : a school usually above the elementary level; especially : a private high school b : a high school or college in which special subjects or skills are taught c : higher education —used with the<the functions of the academy in modern society> 2 capitalized a : the school for advanced education founded by Plato b : the philosophical doctrines associated with Plato's Academy 3 : a society of learned persons organized to advance art, science, or literature 4 : a body of established opinion widely accepted as authoritative in a particular field What is YOUR "academy"? Before you sign up for training at ANY beauty/esthetics academy or school, CALL half a dozen salons or spas that you might be interested in working in and ask THEM where they would suggest you attend! Why? Because THEY are going to be the ones that hire you! IS the academy or school where you plan to attend truly considered "widely accepted as authoritative" in your particular field? The local salon and spa owners will know. They know which beauty/esthetics school REALLY train their students and they know which ones just collect money and slide the students through without providing any quality training NEEDED to succeed in this competitive field. Find out for yourself. Print this form out and fill it in as you go. Write the salon name you ask on the left side. Write the name of the school they refer you to on the right.

Learn the art of airbrush makeup, whether you're
interested in becoming an airbrush makeup artist
or if you just want your own makeup to be flawless.
A beauty academy or
school can
be a fun or a frustrating place and can also be a great or a
terrible investment. YOU must do the work and the research to make sure
that you have looked at ALL of the
beauty schools in your state. Ask for a tour of the academies and schools you're interested in. Do they let just anybody in if they have the money? Don't forget these are going to be your school mates for almost A YEAR! What does their equipment look like? Does their place look like a fish cannery? Does it look like the waiting room at the emergency room? Can you survive an environment like this for nearly a year? Are the owners and instructors also hairdressers and estheticians? (Some academy and school owners aren't even licensed practitioners.) What kind of techniques will you learn there. Are you going to learn stuff from 20 or 30 years ago, or cutting edge techniques? Do they always have an insructor on the floor or are they off doing clients? (Some academies and schools almost never have a instructor on the floor!) What kind of feel do you get when you walk into their place? Is it welcoming, cold, boring, disinterested, creepy, fun, exciting? Clients walking into this place to have you work on them will also feel this. How are they when they answer the phone? Do they speak English? After you you check out a few academies and schools, and after you ask half a dozen salon owners where you should go, the choice will be easy! |
