Learning Experience
Experience Cosmetology the way it should be taught: Through Hands-on learning with highly experienced instructors, first on mannequins, then in a salon environment. The educators provide fundamental skills needed along with business skills to prepare you for a successful career in beauty.
Phase 1 is designed to help students apply the four cornerstones of thinking like a designer: SEE, THINK, CREATE and ADAPT! During this phase of cosmetology classes, students explore the fundamentals of Sculpture (Women’s and Men’s), Hair Design, and Long Hair Design. Pivot Point Academy promotes the goal of educating its students on multiple types of hair textures.
Phase 2 prepares you for a Cosmetology diploma by giving you hands-on training in our Student Salon and Spa. Participate in advanced workshops to build on content areas learned in Phase 1 of our Cosmetology course. In this phase, you will dive into Color and Texture and enhance your technical and communications skills.
During Phase 3 you embrace areas of study such as Nail Care, Skin Care, Makeup and Salon Business. This phase will strengthen your skills in guest relations and efficiency. All phases will always tie into previous instruction.
Phase 4 of our future cosmetologists’ education program prepares you for the final diploma testing and the professional licensure exam in the state of Illinois while perfecting your craft as a stylist in the Student Salon.
At the start of each program, Pivot Point Academy equips students with a 400 + Piece Cosmetology Student Kit that includes high-quality tools you’ll need to begin your cosmetology career. You’ll also receive an iPad which you’ll use to access our digital learning platform LAB (Learn about Beauty).
