Ready to Take the Beauty Industry by Storm?

We’ve earned a reputation in the beauty industry and we want to help you do the same. If you’re ready to start your beauty journey and enroll in cosmetology school, then consider Xenon Academy. For over 30 years, we have trained future cosmetologists to enter this industry with the skills, vision, and confidence needed to succeed.

Our Cosmetology Program

Our cosmetology program can teach you how to create current hair and makeup trends, as well as classic looks that will never go out of style. You’ll be able to practice and grow these skills in our student salon and spa, giving you the real-world experience you need in order to be successful in the industry.

Our curriculum is designed to include a variety of different techniques that can help you feel prepared for your future. You can learn in-depth about hair sculptures, trends, and more. However, if you have a passion for all things beauty, you’ll also be given the opportunity to learn about facials, massage, makeup, and nails. This gives our students a well-rounded education and can give them the confidence they need to take on any aspect of the beauty industry.

We know that being a cosmetologist goes beyond gorgeous hairstyles and makeup. It’s also about running your own business and building a list of loyal clients. Whether you want to be an independent contractor or a salon employee, business principles are an essential part of being a stylist. That’s why our curriculum heavily focuses on business concepts such as salon and social media marketing, income strategies, and guest service training.

To ensure that you’re progressing through the program, you’ll be tested regularly on your knowledge of information throughout previous weeks. This will help prove your abilities and readiness to progress to the next phase of the program, and ultimately, to graduation and licensure.

Our favorite thing is seeing students who are excited and passionate about beauty. That’s why we do what we do! When you enroll in Xenon Academy’s cosmetology program, you’ll be joining a big, enthusiastic, beauty-obsessed family. We’re here to learn and have a great time, but most importantly, we’re here to support you during and after your education.

Testimonials

It has honestly been Great being a part of Xenon Academy. I transferred from another cosmetology school half way through my program because I found that Xenon was more about teaching ethics and professionalism not just as a school but as a business. I have learned so much more than I ever imagined being here from all of the educators and having multiple programs to consider. I want to thank all the educators for teaching and coaching me with all of their professional knowledge in this industry. I will be very successful now that I am a Xenon Graduate. I highly recommend Xenon Academy in Grand Island Nebraska and Omaha.

Get Ready to Do What You Love

One of the most exciting things about the beauty industry is all the exciting career paths that can present themselves to you after gaining licensure. After graduating, students must sit for their state board exam in order to earn their cosmetology license. Once you’ve obtained your license, then the exciting part happens, you get to look for employment within the industry!

While we can’t guarantee employment, we aim to help our students prepare for their futures by teaching them the skills necessary to be successful in their futures.
