We have held true to our philosophy of professionalism and service to others while allowing each student to realize their full earning and production potential. We seek to provide the cosmetology, esthetics, nails and massage industries with graduates who are a credit to their college, their employer and their profession.

Our goal was to design a college that provides the necessary space and professional atmosphere today’s students are looking for. It is the largest of its kind in the state of Kansas, more importantly, it offers professional advantages that serious students are looking for in education.  The American Academy facility was constructed to ensure the highest level of education possible.  Beautiful architecture, spacious classrooms and a state-of-the-art salon, day spa and massage studio are set up just like today's modern salons.  We are focused on giving our students real world experience while enhancing their educational experience.  Seeing is believing and we want you to take the time to come visit us and see why the best students choose the American Academy campus to complete their education. 

Our Educational staff is the major key to our success. Although our campus system provides our educators with some of the best equipment on the market, it is their dedication to teaching that gives our students an edge in the beauty and massage industry.  Our educators are experienced and passionate about their career field.  Imagine your freshman educator with over 40 years teaching experience.  Imagine your sculpting and color educator owning her own salon for over 24 years.  Imagine your massage therapy program director passing her years of experience to you hands-on in the classroom.  This is the education you receive at the Academy.  First class, professional mentors working with you everyday hands-on in the classrooms and the salon and spas. 

Our students not only receive the latest technical education in the market, they receive career coaching and planning by some of the most experienced educators in the field.  We know it takes more than just the technical skills to succeed in today's economy.  Our "salon success" and "massage studio" educational experience gives our students an advantage they need today to maximize their earning potential.  David Yocum, owner of the Academy says, "our students are our clients and it is our daily goal to get our students the most for their tuition investment.  We know the value of their time and we are dedicated to give them the experience and advantages they must have to be the best in their field."   

Come and see why our students receive the best education possible at the American Academy of Cosmetology and Massage Therapy.
