Welcome to Total Look Academy
Your choice to pursue a career in the field of cosmetology is a great one! The beauty industry is a growing, exciting, change-oriented, creative environment where you can express your unlimited potential. The industry's numbers measure in the billions and clients continue to increase their spending on looking and feeling beautiful. Money Magazine recently ranked hair stylist/cosmetologist as one of the fastest growing, most desirable jobs to have through the year 2005.

Invest In Your Future
Your career choice will measure your 'talent in sport' as well as your creative expression of beauty because the dressing of hair is the sport and making clients feel beautiful is an expression of art in its purest form. It is our goal and commitment to you, the student, to deliver an outstanding, progressive level of education.

Plan to invest 30 hours per week for one year. In that time you'll be instructed by top industry professionals, including nine master colorists, more than any other school on the East Coast.

When you're done, you'll not only have a license. You'll have experience and you'll be ready to go to work in any high quality salon. Total Look Academy offers an apprentice program unsurpassed in the industry. You'll learn by doing, with hands-on training by top professionals.

Skills for Success
Our Cosmetology Course incorporates hours of extensive hands-on learning to provide you with a complete understanding of beauty and wellness. Upon completion, you'll be prepared for a career as a hair stylist or technician, makeup artist or as an aspiring salon owner.

Your cosmetology school training encompasses three types of learning:

In THEORY, the student is instructed in all areas of theory related to hairdressing and cosmetology as- well as Connecticut State Laws. Theory is taught using Pivot-Point textbooks and study guides as well as other resource books and materials.

In the PRACTICAL segment, the student uses mannequins and other students to perform various services in the professional field of hairdressing and cosmetology. Classroom demonstrations and visual presentations may be used during Practical Instruction.

During the CLINICAL instruction, the student practices in a salon environment under the supervision of an instructor. Students are assigned clients and perform the same services they will perform after graduation and successful completion of the state board examination.

Non-Discrimination
Total Look Academy, in its admissions, instruction, graduation and employment policies, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, sex, age, handicap, religion, creed or financial status.
