The Salon Professional Academy is truly a unique place of learning. We’ve taken the best of salon life and the education world and blended them to a harmonious whole with our Nashville cosmetology school. With the hustle and bustle of a large, high-end salon, students spend the bulk of their time here learning in a real life atmosphere. In an effort to best prepare our students for excellence and success upon graduation, we keep them accountable through their technical, business, and service skills. The Salon Professional Academy students spend their time in the cosmetology classroom with a highly qualified education staff of board licensed cosmetology instructors with over 80 years of combined industry experience. The Salon Professional Academy believes that our approach gives our graduates a distinct advantage when entering the marketplace.
The Academy is located in Nashville, Tennessee. There are nice parks and public facilities in addition to great living, dining and shopping areas. The Nashville area includes the population of 13 counties with a total of over 2,000,000 people. There are many great places to visit within minutes of The Academy.
The Academy is a beautiful 8,500 square foot educational facility with state-of-the-art equipment, including 48 styling stations, 8 manicure stations, 8 pedicure thrones, and 4 facial beds for skin care. We have in excess of 90 chairs and 30 tables for use in our classrooms. Even during large group presentation by guest artists, which is not a typical theory/lecture setting, we have ample seating, workspace, and teaching areas for our entire student body and staff.
The school was designed so that each section of stations is easily monitored by the instructor. The open floor plan also allows instructors to easily monitor the pedicure/manicure area and the skin care room. Our facility also includes student lounge and administrative offices.
