All of our stylists complete our Conservatory of Haute Hair Artistry
Our focus is to inspire stylists by awakening their innate passion.
The common vein throughout or Conservatory of Haute Hair Artistry program is the belief that stylists are ARTISTS. Our classes are thus more appealing to a more sophisticated, intellectual stylist. Through our approach, hair is seen as the material for our sculpture, our palette, our canvas. Our instructors utilize a unique immersion learning technique which focuses on teaching to all 6 senses. This creates a more engaging environment, proven to increase information retention and comprehension, resulting in the BEST experience for our clients!
