Alternative Beauty Academy is a cosmetology and nail training school at 9415 Lackland Road in Overland. Its stated aim is to prepare graduates for professional careers in cosmetology through a fresh approach to teaching and customer service.
The school says it combines classic beauty techniques with current trends. Its programs include a 1,500-clock-hour Cosmetology program, a 400-clock-hour Manicuring program and a 600-hour Instructor Training program, each meeting Missouri's requirements where the school states that.
Salon services are performed by students. Clients should plan to arrive two hours before closing so students have time to finish their services. Chemical and braiding services require a consultation first. The student salon is open Wednesday to Saturday, 9am to 2pm, while school hours run Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 2pm.
Services are grouped into artificial hair, chemical services, facial and spa, hair styling, nail services and scalp treatments. Flexible schedule accommodations and payment options are available on inquiry.
The school's stated goal is to prepare students for licensed work in cosmetology and nail technology through a modern teaching approach and attention to customer service.
