Hays Academy of Hair Design, with campuses in Hays and Salina Kansas, takes a great deal of pride in the schools’ student salons. This is the real life practice and salon preparation that comes along with an education in cosmetology and nail technology. It is the schools salon experience that helps in equipping our future graduates with the skills and tools to be successful in this demanding, yet rewarding industry.

Hays Academy offers an array of salon services that are sure to meet your needs. While we do not offer massage services, you will find about any other service available that you would at any other salon. From haircuts to colors, perms to braids, manicures to pedicures, or even a wax or facial service, Hays Academy has you covered. All salon services are performed by supervised students too! Our educators and students both strive to assist you in the end result you desire while making your time with us enjoyable!

We all like to look for ways to save money, and by getting your salon services done at Hays Academy you will likely accomplish that goal! Because it is so important to have several guests in for our students to practice on, Hays Academy has elected to set our prices at a very affordable level. This doesn’t mean you will be getting less, it’s instead just one of our ways to say “thank you” for taking the time to come in and help our students out! The more our students get to work on clients, the better prepared they will be!

It’s no secret that time is important these days. One thing we do ask of our clients is to allow us a bit more time than they may expect a service to take in a traditional salon. There is a few reasons for this. Of course, our students are in training and that is the obvious reason. Second to that, our instructors need to check in the service, throughout the service, and then check out the guest. While at times this may seem redundant, our goal is to produce the most hirable, financially responsible graduates in the country. We will continue to take dedicated efforts to make this goal a reality.

We understand you may be a bit nervous about being a guest of ours which is totally normal. Our students ROCK and it’s because our instructors do too! Check out our long list of awards and this should help you feel a bit at ease. If not though, read through our Google reviews for our Hays Campus and Salina Campus!
