Building Strong Foundations

In your first month, you’ll lay the groundwork for your cosmetology education. This involves delving into the fundamentals of the trade, including an introduction to the various tools and products used in cosmetology. You’ll not only learn about their functions but also master the techniques required for their effective use.

Hands-On Experience

Cosmetology is a hands-on craft, and your first month will involve plenty of hands-on experience. Initially, you’ll hone your skills on mannequins, allowing you to practice and perfect various techniques until you feel confident to apply them on real guests. Our comprehensive menu of services will become second nature to you, and you’ll be equipped with the marketing skills necessary to build your clientele. At The Salon Professional Academy, we prioritize your ability to not only acquire but also nurture your clients, ensuring your post-graduation success.

Science & Theory

This includes learning about different hair types, textures, and skin types, as well as conditions and their respective treatments. You’ll explore the fascinating science behind hair color and chemical treatments, with a special focus on Redken, a renowned leader in the beauty industry. You’ll be introduced to some of the most advanced color systems available, unlocking the art and science of hair color. TSPA takes pride in its recognition by Redken New York for Excellence in Education.

Mastering Time Management

Cosmetology school demands effective time management skills. You’ll need to balance your schedule between engaging classroom lectures, hands-on practice, dedicated study time, and homework assignments. While this might present some challenges, it’s a vital skill that will not only aid you in your journey as a cosmetology student but also serve you well in your future career.
