- CORE – Learn the rules! In this introductory course, you'll learn the core foundations that will let you confidently begin working on guests, and your Learning Leaders will help you blend professional skills with personal development.
- ADAPTIVE – Apply the rules! Building on the skills you learned in Core, this intermediate level teaches the value of time management, retailing, and the art of successful communication.
- CREATIVE – Expand the rules! This final phase takes you through advanced hairdressing and chemical work. During your last months and weeks toward graduation, you'll spend your time in high gear, preparing yourself for your future salon career.
