Bringing more Japanese stylists onto the world stage in the 21st Century
The Hayato Academy is open to current beauty school students or graduates, as well as stylists at the assistant level. The academy educates its students in a practical New-York style, and prepares them to be able to participate on the world stage.
Our class contents are flexible.
There is a regular class to learn professional techniques (one to four times per week), as well as an elective class where you can choose which techniques you want to study (12 sessions). You can start right away on the Monday after you sign up. We promise high-quality coaching in small classes. |

We teach conversational English as well as styling techniques to help you be able to use your skills anywhere in the world.
You will be taught techniques and instructed about customer service by stylists who have experience working in New York. Having practical experience will improve your skills at a faster rate. Most beauty schools do not provide this kind of practical training. Long periods of time spent as an assistant are an unfortunate reality of the beauty industry. We created the academy to help beauty school graduates who want to improve their skills and master high-quality techniques. In this day and age, being able to speak English to customers from around the world is also an important and necessary skill. We provide English conversation lessons matched to your individual language ability. |
