OUR HISTORY
1. Mission Statement:
The primary goal of New York Hair Academy is to develop in our students the highest possible degree of technical and professional competence. We train each of our students in the principles and practices of cosmetology and barbering. New York Hair Academy is continually trying to provide each of our students with marketable skills and professional attitudes. These attitudes emphasize responsibility and commitment to self, employers, colleagues, clients, and community.
Our objective
Is to train each student in the technical and social skills necessary to be a successful, competent cosmetologist or barber. Instruction takes place through a combination of theory class, practical work, clinic experience, group and individual activities. At the completion of our program, the student is prepared to enter the beauty profession and continue to grow and develop and make a contribution to the profession.
