Two or Four Days a Week – You Choose

Busy with other commitments? Have a family, a job on the side, or both? It’s tough to fit everything in and we understand that. At Penrose, we offer two versions of our Hair Hybrid Program: either two days or four days a week – whatever works best for you!

You’ll be able to…

  • Save time by commuting to class two less days per week
  • Take your stress levels down a few notches
  • Put more of your valuable time towards what’s important in your life

And you can do this all while getting the education you need to feel confident about launching an exciting beauty career.

We offer one of Arizona's first Hair Hybrid programs; if you're interested in focusing solely on hair then this program is for you. Complete a portion of your theory education online at your convenience, then practice what you've learned hands-on in our Student Salon
