Success is right around the corner. If you’ve always dreamed of being a barber or perhaps have developed a passion for make up in the last few years, a career in the beauty and barbering industry can add variety and prosperity to your life.
1) Meet the Academy
First things first, we need to get to know each other! To kick things off, give us a call at 417-881-3900 and set up a tour of the campus. You’ll be able to have a look around the classrooms and services floor, giving you a feel for the environment you’ll be learning in.
First Tip: Come prepared with any burning questions and our campus recruiter can quench that curiosity!
After you’ve wrapped up your walk with our campus recruiter, we will give you a folder full of valuable information like tuition prices and start dates. The second component of the first step is to fill out an admissions application. Your application will tell us a little about you, including the program of your interest!
Alternatively, fill out your application online.
Second Tip: Have three references on hand with names, addresses, and phone numbers to list on your application!

When it comes to finances, it can be easy to get overwhelmed. Thankfully, Academy of Hair Design has a wonderful team that is ready and willing to help you breeze through.
To get started, just submit your FAFSA online and enter our school code 040375 ! This will send your information straight to us. After this you will receive an EFP or estimated financial plan from us that lets you know a good estimate of what will be covered and what you will be expected to pay.
