Real Practice. Real Possibilities. Step Into the Dynamic World of Hairstyling.

We train you to make every cut count. At Turning Point Beauty College, we make hair the headline, teaching you how to shape, color, and style client hair in a step-by-step process. You can practice on mannequins under the guidance of our experienced instructors before moving on to work with live models and clients under licensed supervision. It’s hands-on learning that helps you build real-world skills behind the chair.

Our hairstyling programs start every two to four weeks at our Chandler campus. Access and support are built in from day one as you engage in comprehensive coursework covering haircutting, coloring, highlights, perms, and more, and prepare to sit for the Arizona Hairstyling license exam.

See What Our Students Have To Say

Today I went on a field trip with my school and Ms.Nu brought us to three different salons to give us an opportunity to talk and ask questions to multiple owners and to see what type of salons we would be interested in. Very good experience today and got a lot of questions answered.

We went on a fieldtrip to three different salons. They each showed us how they operate, and explained what the hiring process would be like. It was a very informative outing, and I look forqard to possibly working with one of those establishments.

Kate L

I had such an amazing experience visiting Lush Nail Salon for a field trip! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and professional. The salon itself was spotless, beautifully organized, and had such a relaxing vibe. They took the time to explain their techniques, products, and the importance of nail care and hygiene, which made the visit both fun and educational.
