Academy of Hair Design

Besides being a school it's also a great place to get a cheap cut. They've been around forever and students go on to cut from Supercuts to the best salons in the valley. They primarily teach hair styling, but they also give instruction on massage. more

Overall I enjoyed my experience here at AHD. Beautiful Building and positive learning environment. Good Stuff!! more

This school is the best! I had a fabulous experience, learned a ton, and now earning my own living. I would definitely recommend this school to prospective students. Thank you for everything AHD! more

I have my Interview with the school friday & I cant wait to start & be successful in something I love to do. I hope all pulls thru well & see you All friday. ? Thank You more

It was very enjoyable experience especially on the floor. more

I went to this school, they are really nice when they want to get you to sign up for their program. But once in then the fun starts. There are to many wardens in the prison, rules change everyday. some of the teachers need to retire, they are stuck in the old age of teaching. there are some good teachers too, they try to keep up with new things, like the fashion shows are awesome!!! Not enough guest speakers for the hair people or nails. Skin was really great,if you were lucky enough to get the right teacher in there. I got to see brazilian waxing, lash extensions, makeup, diamond tip microdermabrasions. Because of that class I specialize in skin care, more than hair. There is never anybody in the offices that will help you. Mr. John is useless there, he is just a pervert, calling himself your daddy, GROSS!!! Ms. S all she wants to do is sit around and do hair checks from her chair or take one of her 10 breaks a day. Ms. D. all she wants to do is sit outside in her car and smoke all day, she smells like an ash tray. Mr. D he is a good teacher, but come on, pick up the pace, you take to long to do hair checks, and Ms. J. she is so sweet I loved her. They should put teachers where they are strong at and what they like to do. I learned some cool things from Ms. A. she taught me some cools things in nails, and Ms. D. she showed me how to do extensions and she had some cool guest speakers when I was in skin. This school needs to get rid of the old and bring in some new blood, and not just take us for a ride and take our money :( more

I really enjoyed going to school there. The instructors were really great. Also, at the academy you're getting alot more hands on experience than you do at Majestany and that helps out alot with being confident in your work. My sister in law went to Majestany and she said sometimes her instructor could be a bit harsh. I also had a cousin who went there and she didn't mind the school....so no matter where you go you're going to hear good and bad. If I had to choose again I would definitely choose the academy. more

My experience with it is that the instructors are great! The classroom setting is alot of fun and they go over the material alot so that you're well-prepared for the exams. You get alot of hands on training as you start cutting hair 5 weeks into the program. You have to do a minimum of 250 haircuts/styles and at the end, you have to do three job placements in three weeks so that you have a feel for the culture at any workplaces. When I was researching Majestany and the Academy of Hair Design, I also saw that the tuition was cheaper which you should also take into consideration :) more

i liked it there, i learned lots. there is a lot more hands on learning than other schools and i found i learnd more that way. i would recomend this school to anyone who wanted to be a hairdresser more

I learned so much at a.h.d! all the instructors were amazing! My mom went a.h.d 10 years ago & I couldn’t have made it anywhere else! I feelt ready for me to graduate! Thanks A.H.D! more

It was a wonderfull experience. For me and I am foreign student so I like ur way of teaching. I make a lot of friends. And net extraordinary people!!! I wish u could open a school like that in Russia. Thank u very much I will never forget u!!! more

I has tons of fun at the school, I learned a lot and the teachers where helpful! Someone was always there when I had a question. And someone always make sure I understood everything. more

My experience was wonderful.\r more

The instructors at AHD are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I learned a lot from each and every one being that they all have the specialties in the cosmetology field. AHD's instructors have helped me to be confident in passing the State Board Testing due to their passion and drive. This has been a life changing experience for me! more

I was changing careers, and I chose academy of hair design for my training. All the teachers are great! I especially love Mr. Mark D. he is the most patient teacher in the WORLD. The management is a very caring group of people. I highly recommend Academy of Hair Design. more

The Academy of Hair design is an amazing school with hard working Staff and Students. The Teachers go above & beyond to keep the Students reach their potential. I am truly privilaged to have been able to attend & graduate this school. Ms. Lori, Mr. John. Ms. Sandy & all the other Staff behind the scene are knowledgable & caring and make this school a fun and energetic learning environment. I highly recomm coming down and checking out the school. Either as a client or potential student. more

The Academy of Hair Design honestly changed my life for the better. As a teenager, I never knew what I wanted to do with my life after high school. I decided I wanted to go to beauty school and pursue a career. Not only the teachers but the management staff were beyond supportive and helpful. As a student, you must put forth the effort to be successful. Some people think beauty school is the easy way out.. WRONG. If you work hard and show respect, the teachers and staff will treat you with upmost respect themselves. The Academy of Hair Design is extremely professional and very up-to-date. The staff is always working hard to make school fun and enjoyable. This school is not about laziness and disrespectful people. They encourage their students to work hard and in any situation with a difficult client, they will always have your back. I not only learned hair, skin, and nails but I also learned life lessons and people skills. This school is the best! more

The Academy is a very busy place. You'll be struck immediately at all the students chopping away. Besides being a school it's also a great place to get a cheap cut. They've been around forever and students go on to cut from Supercuts to the best salons in the valley. They primarily teach hair styling, but they also give instruction on massage. The staff is friendly and professional and they are very busy. Success with this school and landing a job is part skill and very much your confidence level. They give you the tools the rest is up to you. more

I've never been a student there, but I have had my hair cut, my nails done and my lip waxed by scores of the students there off and on for almost 20 years. I ask every one of them how they like it and they all say ""I LOVE it."" When I first started going there for services, it was hard to find an instructor to just come over and check finished work. Now they are everywhere and available to the students at any time during the process. Some instructors are more personable than others and probably some are more competent than others but I've never met one that I would describe as ""mean"". The woman at the front desk is as friendly and professional as at any high end salon. Maybe more so. And one more thing before I go. Seniors are entitled to discounts on Tuesdays & Wednesdays. You should see how patient and cheerful the students are with some of their elderly clients who can barely walk from the waiting area to the chair. It gives me hope for the new generation. more

This is a fantastic school. I would definitely recommend it for any student looking to go to cosmetology school in Vegas. A chance for great learning opportunities and a fun experience. The environment in the school is young and hip just as the beauty industry should be. The teachers are great and even willing to stay late just to help the students out with their hours. One of my favorite parts of attending this school was the talent shows they hold. It gives a chance for the students to show off their creative talents by designing costumes, hair styles, nail art, make up, and body paintings. IWe put a lot of work into this, and it definitely made school fun as well as an eye opener of new ideas. The owner's of this school are good people, and they run the place like any business should be ran. If you put in your dedication, study hard, and work hard, you will have an awesome experience at the Academy of Hair Design! more
