Learn the Skills to Become a Hair Professional
30 Week* Hair Hybrid Course in Arizona
Penrose Academy offers a licensure program in hair styling with both a full-time (4-day) and part-time (2-day) schedule. If your focus is solely on hair styling, our Hair Hybrid Program is designed for you. This 1,000-hour program provides a streamlined path toward becoming a licensed hair stylist.
Through a combination of on-campus training and online learning, you’ll develop skills in cutting, coloring, styling, extensions, and more. Our interactive Pivot Point Lab online platform enhances your learning experience, combining theory with hands-on practice in our Student Salon.
You’ll build a strong foundation in hair styling with classroom instruction, salon training, and hands-on assisting. You’ll complete four hours of online coursework per week, offering flexibility to learn from anywhere.
Beyond technical training, you’ll develop essential business skills through our 6 R’s professional development curriculum—Retail, Refer, Relate, Retain, Rebook, and Recruit.
