About

KCK Beauty & Barber Academy trains students in barbering, cosmetology, manicuring, skin care and instruction in Jacksonville. Its clinic floor is open to the public, so clients receive services performed by students who work under the supervision of licensed instructors. The school says those supervising instructors are qualified and experienced, and that they keep up with newer equipment and techniques.

The school notes that the final cost of a service can rise depending on hair thickness, length, style, products used and the time required. Walk-ins and scheduled appointments are both accepted. Salon and spa service hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 10:00am to 3:00pm. Phone calls and emails are answered within 24 hours.

The menu is organized into chemical services, hair coloring, haircuts, shaves and styling, nail services, skin services, special and treatment services such as braids, twists and locs, and weaves where the client supplies the hair. Many prices are listed as starting amounts, so the final cost depends on the service.

For prospective students, programs run from 240 to 1200 hours. The barber and cosmetology programs are 1200 hours each, and students begin serving clients on the clinic floor after completing 300 hours. The barber program prepares graduates for the Florida State Board of Barbering licensing exam and includes live model performances and a required HIV/AIDS education exam. The cosmetology program prepares graduates for the Florida State Board of Cosmetology exam. The manicure, skin care specialist and full specialist programs prepare graduates to apply for Florida licensing in nail or skin care. The instructor program is 600 hours and covers teaching techniques, common student problems and handling school issues; Florida requires instructors to hold a current license in a related field, and the program itself is not a licensing requirement.

Admission requires being 16 years old, along with a high school diploma or GED. Applicants under 18 need a parent or legal guardian present. Enrollment requires a valid ID, a U.S. passport or birth certificate, and a Social Security card, plus mandatory orientation and a signed enrollment agreement. Day and evening classes are available for full-time and part-time schedules. A monthly payment plan is offered, and financial aid, Pell Grants and Stafford Loans may be available to those who qualify. The school is licensed by the Commission for Independent Education and the Florida Department of Education, accredited by NACCAS, and approved for veterans' education benefits and Vocational Rehabilitation benefits.

Clients are worked on by students, with each service overseen by an instructor who holds a license. According to the school, its instructors keep their skills up to date with current equipment and techniques.
