Mission Statement
American Academy of Hair Design has trained hundreds of individuals for a career in cosmetology since it was founded in 1980. It has grown into one of the most respected and progressive cosmetology colleges in the area and is proud of the cosmetologists it has produced. As a private cosmetology college, we offer our students the educational advantages needed to ensure mutual success.

We have held true to our philosophy of professionalism and service to others while allowing each student to realize their full earning and production potential. We seek to provide the cosmetology industry with graduates who are a credit to their college, their employer and the cosmetology profession.

Cosmetology is a field that offers many different career opportunities. Our curriculum is designed not only to achieve the technical skills necessary in the cosmetology field but to make our students aware of the part they play in the service to others and to be sensitive and professional to their clients.

Cosmetology
Each student admitted to the college receives individual instruction in technical skills, professional services, business and job-related information.

Each student also participates in closely-supervised cosmetology services while apprenticing in the clinic. Each unit of study offered by the school is designed to provide a broad base to maximize the employability of its graduates.

Additional Objectives of the program are:

• To develop technical abilities to the highest level of each student.
• To develop professional qualities within each student.
• To counsel each student in the variety of opportunities within the field.
• To introduce and teach the techniques involved in the latest products, equipment, and styling trends.
• To fulfill all requirements of the Kansas State Board of Cosmetology.
• To provide continuous improvement in all our college educational programs.

Pivot Point
We are proud to announce that we are Topeka's only Pivot Point Member School. Award-winning designer, Leo Passage, created the curriculum for Pivot Point schools around his distinct learning philosophy. Pivot Point's "Scientific Approach" is a marriage of art and science with its roots in an architectural theory called Bauhaus. This Scientific Approach teaches you to become a designer, not just a hairdresser. And there is a difference. A designer not only knows the how's of cosmetology, but also the why's. These why's are based on a belief that hair design is an artistic expression with its roots in the basic elements of form, texture and color - just like the fundamental principles of art.
