• Job listings:  job listings are placed in a book for self-directed students to review.  This book is maintained in the Director of Admissions' office.  As opportunities are presented, they are placed in the book.

• Career Representatives:  the TONI&GUY Salon Division has representatives available monthly to conduct on-site interviews with students interested in becoming an employee of TONI&GUY Salon Division.  Other salon representatives are also available to speak with students regarding employment opportunities.  TONI&GUY Hairdressing Academy does not guarantee employment to any student.  Students will undergo the same scrutiny for employment as any other candidate.  TONI&GUY Hairdressing Academy does not discourage students from seeking employment in the industry with other salons or companies.

Professionals in every industry need the best tools if they are to function optimally. Hairdressing is no different, but quality equipment is expensive and may take years for a hairdresser to acquire. Most beginning hairdressers don’t have the money for quality tools and equipment, leaving them at a disadvantage.

Because of our strong commitment to educating professionals, we ensure that our students start with the best tools available to hairdressers by requiring the purchase of a TONI&GUY Hairdressing Academy student kit as part of the enrollment process. As a cosmetology student at TONI&GUY Hairdressing Academy you will use mannequins, styling tools, and other equipment daily. All of these items are included in our industry-leading student kits.

Your student kit includes all required books, professional quality tools, and mannequins. During our cosmetology program, you receive training on the safe and proper use of your tools and equipment. The modern and state-of-the-art equipment in your kit offers you an “edge” in your cosmetology training. Your student kit is a major investment in your career and one more advantage that TONI&GUY Hairdressing Academy offers its students.
