What makes Nova Academy of Cosmetology a cut above the rest?

Nova is a proud member of a small and prestigious group of cosmetology schools that have aspired to raise the bar and become a member of the Sassoon Academy School Connection. Sassoon has been at the forefront of high quality education in the hair business for more than fifty years. The leading edge of this education is the world renowned ABC Cutting Hair the Sassoon Way system.

We are also a member of the Nuts & Bolts Program, which is offered by the Premiere Training Company for the Healthy and Beauty Industry. The program offers students personal and business training programs that ensure they can truly capitalize on their technical training. Through this system we are able to provide a unique and systematic approach that teaches how to manage a fulfilling, profitable and growing service business.

These learning systems partnered with Milady textbooks and study guides and the Wella color system give our graduates the edge over their competition.

As part of our Cosmetology program each student receives the full Esthiology and Nail Technology program.  Graduates will be prepared and qualified for future licensing with the state of Minnesota. With the training provided in our Esthiology program you will be prepared for the current industry of today focusing on the use of machines, peels and exposure to the trend of Medical Spas.
