Learn from the FAHB pros!

Our Mission is to provide quality vocational education for all students to ensure that each student masters the necessary skills and procedures required to successfully meet State Board requirements, acquire licensure and gain the competencies necessary to compete in their desired field of employment in the Beauty Industry. View our programs listed below:

​

Cosmetology

The program consists of twelve hundred (1200) hours of instruction in the art, science, and business of professional beauty care. A comprehensive, full-service approach, applicable in today’s modern salon environment is stressed. The student will receive instruction in “theory” (textbook/classroom), “practical” and “clinical” experiences on actual patrons.

There is no previous knowledge of any aspect of cosmetology that is required or assumed. Students learn through a combination of lectures, demonstrations and hands on practical experiences on mannequins. Opportunity is also provided for students to practice on each other, so as to offer a more realistic experience and exemplify the importance of good grooming for the cosmetologist.

Barber / Stylist

The program consists of twelve hundred (1200) hours of theory & practical skills necessary to become a barber/stylist in the State of Florida. The program is designed to develop the student’s integrity and motivation in order for them to become successful barber/stylists.  Every effort is made to ensure that each student receives well-balanced training, by responding to the needs of the beauty industry. Florida Academy of Health and Beauty will be mixing traditional barber training, as well as today’s modern hair styling techniques, to ensure that our student will be on the cutting edge of the barber industry.
