Working at PCI Academy

PCI Academy is a post-secondary institution that’s all about helping students and staff thrive in the beauty industry, as we have for over 40 years. We emulate growing people first and teaching the technical skills of hair, skin, body, and nail technology second. We prioritize our students, promote a team-based culture, and strive to always be better tomorrow than we are today.

As a result, we continue to fill the beauty industry with talented leaders who serve others before themselves.
