THE FIRST STEP OF YOUR PATH TO SUCCESS

Making the decision to become a beauty professional is not one to be taken lightly—and deciding on which school will best propel you into your career shouldn’t be either. Students at the Shear Ego International School aren’t just going with the flow, they are forging the path to success.

The Shear Ego International School was specifically crafted with you, our student, in mind. Our comprehensive programs combine the industry’s latest trends and technologies with hands-on training from our award-winning instructors. This combination not only prepares students to become fully licensed in their chosen specialty, but it also produces some of the most skilled professional graduates in New York State.

So, only one question remains: are you ready to take the first step to turn your passion into your profession?

BRINGING REALITY INTO THE CLASSROOM
REAL LEARNING FOR THE REAL WORLD

At Shear Ego International School, we bridge the gap between classroom instruction and real-world salon practices. Our programs are not only designed to teach you the fundamentals of your chosen trade, but are also intended to allow ample time and guidance for you to sharpen your skills in a modern facility that functions, looks, and feels like a busy, upscale salon.

Staying true to this practical approach has been the cornerstone of our ability to graduate students who are considered to be amongst the most salon-ready in their professions.

A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE TURNING ORDINARY STUDENTS INTO EXTRAORDINARY BEAUTY PROFESSIONALS

For more than three decades the Shear Ego International School has been dedicated to producing the next generation of top-tier beauty professionals. We know that the best way to ensure that our students emerge into their fields of study with immediate success is to equip them with:

• Instruction from award-winning and nationally renowned instructors to prepare our students for passing the required practical and or/written exams necessary for licensure
• Frequent class demonstrations from top local and national stylists
• Extensive program kits full of the highest quality supplies
• Class sizes that promote the maximum amount of one-on-one training
• A network of job placement services to assist students in finding employment throughout the course of their careers
• Post-graduate continuing education courses to provide expert training on the newest techniques in the industry

Each of our programs are designed with a shared purpose in mind: to ensure that our students make a lasting impression on their clients, their communities, and their industries. We take pride in each one of our students, and our students graduate knowing that the Shear Ego name means something much more than that of the average beauty or barbering school.
