Flexible Career

It seems that now more than ever, people are searching for a flexible career. Look no further than the booming beauty industry. Hays Academy of Hair Design, with campuses in Hays and Salina Kansas, has seen a large number of students in the last 20 years. This includes stay at home moms that want a skill that allows them to work a day or two a week. In addition, Hays Academy has enrolled several single moms, looking for a career that will offer them the flexibility and opportunities to care for their loved ones. There has been traditional students and non traditional students, males and females, students from all walks of life. In fact, some of the past students utilized their cosmetology license to pay for their college degree by working their way behind a chair as they traversed a college education.

Several Career Paths

When searching for a career, it is important that you look for one that offers several career paths and opportunities. That is exactly what cosmetology offers too!
