Our graduates are ready to succeed!
Our goal at Keene Beauty Academy 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:

1. That the student has developed the required hand-eye coordination and practical skills necessary for a high level of technical proficiency.
   
2. 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.
   
3. 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.

Assistance with job placement.
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.
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.
In addition, our curriculum includes guest speakers, technical demonstrations and numerous small workshops. Our overall approach is to use training techniques that create interest and total student involvement.

Once students learn the practical skills, they are ready to proceed to the clinical phase of training which takes place in our student clinic. Here students perfect their skills by practicing on the school ’s clientele. The clinic is supervised by instructors who guide each student to help them produce the best possible style for each client. Students learn to produce classic styles, as well as current trends.

Possible positions our graduates are eligible for include: entry level positions such as salon receptionist, stylist, nail technicians and company sales representatives.
