A Focus on Communication and Technique

Our Methodologies

Luxx Beauty & Barber Institute considers both class time and clinic floor experience extremely important. Because of the location of the school and the upscale environment, students receive a great deal of hands-on experience working with actual clients in all aspects of the cosmetology field.

Beyond the chair, we aim to make a deep impact on our students' lives by providing them with real-world experience and inspiring them to be the best they can be. The beauty and barbering are up close and personal, and it's important that we instill integrity and discretion. We want our students and customers to leave Luxx feeling confident, inspired, and better than when they came in.
