Our goal at Keene Beauty Academy, as a beauty school, is to provide students with the skills and expertise they need for careers in the beauty industry. This goal goes beyond simply ensuring that graduates are able to pass their licensing exam. We make certain each student has received all the training he or she needs for success and professional growth. This means: That the student has developed the required hand-eye coordination and practical skills necessary for a high level of technical proficiency. That the student has a thorough knowledge of the biology of hair, skin and nails, and a professional understanding of the chemical processes used in cosmetology. That the student has a thorough understanding of business management, including the economics of a working salon and the professional ethics and attitudes needed to succeed. As part of our educational objectives, Keene Beauty Academy is ready to assist the graduate with job placement. We maintain a current list of employers with job openings. Although Keene Beauty Academy cannot guarantee employment to graduates, we teach a thorough program in the skills of job seeking. Our academic program features a mix of classroom curriculum, video learning and hands-on training in our clinic. This scientific approach provides a strong foundation for our graduates to build on and grow with throughout their careers.
