Our Oklahoma Campus

We know in the right place, with the right people and support, our students blossom and create meaningful change in their lives and the world around them. The Hair Arts Institute facility reflects the philosophy of our hair design: clean lines, modern styling, organic materials, with attention to detail and function. All of our efforts are made to maintain this educational environment while mimicking a real-life professional service environment. Our facility provides over 3,100 square feet and includes a salon floor with student workstations, a large classroom, a student breakroom, and administrative offices. We believe it is critical to create an environment where our students feel safe and wake up each day excited to come learn and grow with us.
