With a proven track record that goes all the way back to 1978, let us show you why thousands of beauty industry professionals have chosen us as their go-to Beauty Academy.
As a company we hold five core beliefs; these core beliefs are what allow us to coach and train our students to be in the top 8% of the industry, whether it be in Cosmetology, Esthetics, Nail Technology, or Massage Therapy. We believe in:
Founded in Ames, Iowa in 1978 by the Lokken family with the goal of creating a high quality school that not only taught students how to pass their boards, but also how to be successful service providers and how to build a career. This dream led to PCI Academy to be one of the first Redken endorsed schools and the first academy to not only teach, but also help develop, the Summit Salon Business Center curriculum. This allowed for us to eventually expand our Ames location into a larger building and go on to open an additional two campuses, one located in Plymouth, Minnesota and the other in Iowa City, Iowa.
Today we continue to be innovative in our curriculum, teaching methods, and services being offered and taught. We truly live out learn, earn, and lead each and everyday. Come join us for the journey and see for yourself how PCI Academy can help you and your career.
