Big Island Beauty Academy offers a full range of courses in Cosmetology, Hairdressing, Nail Technology, Esthetics, and Beauty Instruction. Our primary goal is to establish a solid base of education and experience to equip students with the essential tools to launch a successful career in their chosen career path.
Cosmetology & Hairdressing
Our strong hands-on approach with a dedicated expert faculty makes our Cosmetologist program stand out! After course completion, students become masters in Cosmetology and Hairdressing, due to our rigorous class schedule and hands-on training.
Cosmetologists and Hairdressers have the advantage of endless job opportunities at their fingertips. By becoming a Cosmetologist or Hairdresser, you can work in beauty salons, hotels, spas and even own your own salon. As a Cosmetologist, you will have more career options and higher salary. Cosmetologists and Hairdressers also have the unique luxury of setting their own hours and being self-employed. This growing industry has endless opportunities that Big Island Beauty Academy will help you achieve!
Esthetics
The objectives of the esthetics program are to develop basic beauty knowledge of the skin and its disorders. Students will learn various treatments and techniques used to give regular and European facials, including equipment use and maintenance, waxing, eyebrow and eyelash tinting, makeup, and related subjects.
If you love the field of Cosmetology but would like to specialize in the study of skin care, then an Esthetics career is for you! Once you’ve received your esthetician license, your job at a salon or spa is to make the customer feel pampered and relaxed by providing facials, pore cleansing and exfoliation treatments, body wraps and polishes, foot reflexology, aromatherapy and spa treatments as well as hair removal and waxing treatments.
Nail Technology
Big Island Beauty Academy holds the highest standards for our Nail Technology program. Our objective is to develop professional knowledge of the nail and its disorders, as well as techniques in manicure, pedicure, and artificial nail application services.
If you’re looking to join an industry where you can enjoy being creative and helping people, attending nail school might be for you. Most cosmetology and beauty schools offer courses dedicated to nail technician training, but Big Island Beauty Academy also offers courses specific to learning the art of nails and their esthetics. Our students train to become nail technicians, also known as manicurists and pedicurists, who specialize in nail art and design, manicures, pedicures, acrylics, gels, nail art, wraps, nail extensions and more.
