Grow as an Artist

A conventional career path isn’t for everyone! Beauty students are often the type of people who dream of doing something different that allows them to stretch their creativity. When asked why they started beauty school, here is what some of our students had to say:

“I love making people happy and would love to put my creativity to work.”

“I… have always been artistically inclined… with some guidance, I thought that going to beauty school would be the best bet and I do not regret that decision at all!”

At COLLECTIV Academy, our mission is to help students improve their artistic abilities for a successful future in the industry. We provide a variety of opportunities for you to grow your skills, such as:

• Annual hair events
• National guest artist demos
• Photo shoots
• Local events
• Hair Camp

No client is the same, which is why our students learn how to recognize what each individual needs for their specific hair type. Knowing how to adapt to each unique client is a huge advantage in the beauty industry and one reason why our students can graduate with a head start!

Have you ever thought about becoming a salon owner or any other type of strong leader who manages and helps other people? We know some of our students do! Here are some of their career goals: 

“[I’m] looking around at salons right now… eventually want to own one and never stop moving up in this industry.”

“I hope to get a job with a commission salon to build a clientele and hone my skills… then open a small home business and work for myself.”

“I want to have my own salon and spa that is unique and a great place for people to come… they can relax, get pampered, feel good and beautiful…I hope to make it successful enough to build more locations.”

In the beauty industry, you can work towards these career goals and more. We want to help you get there!

“Where to begin!? The friendly staff, the atmosphere, education, professional products used, the focus on helping students succeed, and the genuine care from each individual instructor and owner of the school. It’s a second home here.”

“The hands-on education and genuine care from the instructors.”

“I chose COLLECTIV after experiencing how much it cared for me as a student by helping me along the way in deciding what school was going to help me become successful. Linda was texting me throughout the week and always checked up with how I was doing and gave me tips and questions to ask other schools and what qualities to look for. I felt cared for and realized that COLLECTIV only had my best interest in mind, and cared that I would be getting the best education available!”

“The small class sizes. The multitude of instructors since there were only two for about 50 students at my old school.”
