Instruction
The first 350 to 400 hours will be spent receiving step-by-step instruction that takes the student through each of the Brillare Phase 1 and Phase 2 classrooms, and then advances from there. Brillare Academy uses video, live instructor demonstrations, illustrations and textbook examples.
Practical Knowledge
Brillare believes that students learn best when they are free to experiment and able to develop first-hand knowledge. To enhance this learning experience, students mix their own color in the dispensary instead of having an instructor do it for them. Using professional color lines and wet lines, Wella, Sebastian, Nioxin and Paul Mitchell, Brillare spares no expense to provide opportunities for hands-on, practical applications of color techniques.
Hands-On Experience
The exact amount of hours spent in classroom training is different for each student. The remaining approximate 1,200 hours will be spent working with clients on the academy clinic floor, attending advanced classes that are offered monthly, and preparing for state board licensure. The clientele that frequents our academies primarily requests cut and color. This provides the optimal opportunity for the students to develop the skills most needed in the field today, and to maximize familiarity with the latest trends. Students able to create a customer base that will follow them after graduation.
Licensure
While working on the floor, Brillare Hairdressing Academy also prepares students to pass the necessary state board exams successfully. The skills required for these tests are somewhat different from the typical styles used by our salons. Working on practical tasks outlined on the state board sheets will ensure the exams can be passed with flying colors, with plenty of time to spare.
