What do you need to know about going to our school, or any school in the beauty industry?
We offer vocational training, which means that we offer training that prepares you for a job.
So, before you do anything else, you should contact a couple of salons or spas that you are interested in working for... 
and ask THEM who has the best training in town.

They almost always suggest us. Why? For one reason, they are tired of retraining everyone they hire straight out of school.
Our graduates are ready to start work the day they graduate from our programs.
It could be because we have the best state board pass rate in the state. It could be our 100% placement rate.
It could be our classic European cutting techniques, our Italian hair color training, or it could be our communication training.
It could be the fact that we hand-pick one hairdressing student each month. We realize that some of the other schools have many more students, but remember we said that we are training you for a job.
We are not a certificate factory that pops out bunches of hairdressing students each month that don't have a clue what they're doing and that salons are afraid to hire.
Our goal? It's simple.
We are looking for future top stylists and future salon owners.
That's it. The fact that we are willing to say this openly seems to irritate some of the other school owners. So what!
We don't take students that can't speak English... because they can't pass the state board exam.
We don't allow drug use, and we expect you to act professionally. Perhaps this is why we have the highest state board pass rate in Alaska history.
We require an entrance exam and an interview to make sure that you have what it takes to become a success.
We require you to treat yourself and the other students, and our clients with respect.
If are looking for the best training in the state, and you can live with these terms, WE can change YOUR life!
If you can't live with these terms, or if you tend to settle for mediocre, you should pick out another school.

Sorry we don't have photos of all of our travels.
It seems that when we first started traveling we were having so much fun we forgot to organize our photographs & they're all stuck in boxes.

Missing State Board links -

We stopped putting links to the Alaska State Board of Barbers and Hairdressers here because the board doesn't actually follow MANY their own regulations, so it seemed kind of stupid to post something that nobody does anyway.
Think I'm kidding? Try this...

#1. Ask IF instructors are grading either their own students or students from a competing school in violation of state law?
#2. Ask IF they have any unprofessional and rude people STILL on the board that have NUMEROUS complaints against them?
#3 Ask IF there are any negative racial comments made by examiners at the exams?
#4. Ask how long state law says esthetician apprenticeships must take and how long they really DO take.
#5. Ask IF board members rent out rooms to UNLICENSED people, and then enroll them as apprentices making them an illegal "school".

When the state board becomes legal again, this space will again be dedicated to providing links and information that is VALID.
