Cosmetology

VICI is proud to be a Pivot Point member school. Pivot Point is the most widely accepted cosmetology training system in the world. It has been translated into thirteen languages and is used in 1000 affiliated hair design schools in over 70 countries worldwide. Pivot Point uses a methodology that allows learning at the emotional, visual, analytical and manual level. Our delivery tools are interactive, providing students and educators with the most current in-depth knowledge of art and design theory as well as practical exercises and communication skills.

Pivot Point has consulted the University of Chicago Fine Arts department and hair theorists as well as art design specialists around the world to validate their innovative training system. This approach to hair design guides students through the basic elements of texture, design/form, and color. Students learn to visualize the elements as one, then mix and match them to create a variety of hair designs that's almost endless. It's scientifically proven to work!
