About ARROJO Cosmetology
With connection to Nick Arrojo; unique opportunities like starring on stage at international beauty shows and hairstyling at New York Fashion Week (click here and here for more info); the nations most advanced curriculum; a 100% pass rate for students that have completed all State Board examinations; and a boutique, state-of-the-art campus in New York City's epicenter of fashion, trend, and style ARROJO Cosmetology is setting new, higher standards of beauty school education.
The curriculum is taught using traditional and non-traditional teaching methods, with lots of activity-based learning. Classes are carefully thought out to include elements that engage each of the four learner types -- audio, visual, linear, kinesthetic -- and feature reading, listening, role-playing, practical, discovering, and sharing. It means all students get an education that connects with their abilities as a learner.
The course covers all New York State Board requirements, with curriculum highlights including the nine ARROJO haircuts all students must learn. This is a specific system of cutting developed and practiced by ARROJO, with all of the cuts -- classic one-length bob with bangs, layered bob, graduated bob; classic graduation, rounded graduation, tight graduation; classic square layer, classic long layer, and classic round layer -- exploring geometric yet organic shapes.
These techniques give hairdressers the ability to improve all their cuts from the most simple to the most dynamic. This is the foundation and definition of the ARROJO approach to modern and creative, precision-based hairstyling. It's what our salon apprentices must master. It's what we preach to fellow stylists when we're on the road at international hair and beauty shows. It's one of the key things we teach at our advanced education seminars. And it's what our students are learning as they work to master their new craft. It's a cutting system to match our own exacting standards.
As the school adjoins ARROJO studio, a portion of the students' time is also dedicated to guest lectures and demos from Nick Arrojo and fellow master stylists from this multi-award-winning salon. The goal is to connect each student to the insights, experience and expertise of a top-class, global team, provide a platform for success whether the student wants to go forward into the salon, into education, or into editorial and fashion-related work.
The next full-time class starts January 31, 2011. It is a 7-month program, meaning you will be qualified by August. For more detailed curriculum information, click here.
