Mission Statement
The Salon Professional Academy’s objective is to produce highly trained and well educated graduates for the top salons.

We are committed to excellence in cosmetology arts and sciences education. Educational systems and programs are updated constantly to keep the student's interests first and our educational quality high.

ADA Compliance
The Academy complies with Americans with Disabilities Act.

Student Activities
Academy students have a community service component requiring one hour of service for each month of their training program. The Academy has relationships with a variety of community agencies.

Placement
The Academy assists students with job placement. Employers are encouraged to interview students, and every effort is made to secure a job opportunity for each graduate.

Students are prepared in the latter part of training to seek employment. Job opportunities are announced and posted.

The Academy cannot guarantee every student will be placed.

Transfers
A transfer student may be accepted after careful evaluation of the student's academic records. Each transfer must be evaluated on an individual basis.

No more than 20% of the program can be credited from another institution. Transfer students pay full tuition. Transfer students must begin at the beginning.

All transfer hours accepted are applied at the end of training. We do not recruit students already attending or admitted to other schools offering similar programs.
