Hairstyling Program
Your journey begins here
Our hairstyling program is a pre-employment trade course in all phases of beauty culture, professional ethics and salon management. Theoretical instruction is combined with practical work conducted in a modern and thoroughly equipped cosmetology school.
We prepare students to enter the styling field upon graduation.
We will train you in all the basic elements of the industry, as well as help you to explore your mind for creativity. Each student completes a minimum of 1600 hours of instruction under a licensed instructor to become eligible to take the Cosmetology Association of New Brunswick Certified License Exam. Upon completion, with passing grades, Atlantic Hairstyling and Aesthetics Academy will award a diploma.
