The faculty uses a combination of classroom lectures, demonstrations and clinic techniques. Our training methods
are designed to elicit the cooperation and participation of the student. This is accomplished by being sensitive to the
individual differences and to the variety of backgrounds of the participants.

Several instructional methods are used to encourage retention and comprehension. These items include but are not
limited to:

1. Theory and application as a natural progression in the learning process
2. Goal-oriented assignments and encouragement to complete the program
3. Satisfactory progress reports that accurately reflect the student’s knowledge base
4. Periodic written examinations
5. Skilled instructor input in the classrooms and clinic
6. Audio-visual aids to supplement lecture and textbook materials
7. Personal growth encouragement including development of desirable work habits and attitudes, pride in work,
acceptable personal grooming and dress, appropriate relations, effective communication skills, safety and health
habits, and legal aspects of salon operations.
