Anyone who walks into the Academy of Hair Technology can
quickly notice the difference between it and the other beauty schools in
the area. Upstate residents no longer have to go to New York, Chicago,
Los Angeles, or Toronto to be able to take advantage of a structured
educational program. Unlike the self-paced method of instruction
practiced in all other area schools, the Academy has definite blocks of
instruction with beginning and ending dates.
Everyone in a class is learning exactly the same thing at the same time.
This system of education makes it possible for the instructor to explain
the reasons why certain techniques should be employed as well as show
how to perform them.
The best news for most students is that anyone attending the Academy is
eligible to receive some type of Title-IV Federal Financial Aid through
the US Department of Education which can cover most, if not all, the
costs of attending.
