Where the whole thing started.
Hays Academy of Hair Design has been teaching students in Hays since 1981, the HA monogram on the building is the same one on your diploma. Both programs run here: the 1,500-hour cosmetology course and the 350-hour nail technology course, on the same schedule (Tue–Fri, plus one required Saturday a month), with the student salon open to the public.
The pitch in the school's own words: “We don't boast our facilities, we're more focused on the learning.” What they do boast: Wella's Cut Craft Cutting Education System, FAFSA-eligible affordability for cosmetology, and a team that treats a class like family. The Nail Technology program does not qualify for financial aid.
