More Than a Cosmetology License
I want to be a cosmetologist...
At Atelier Academy, our cosmetology program is customized and personal. We offer flexible scheduling options designed to accommodate different student needs while working toward a Minnesota cosmetology license.
With comprehensive education in hair, skin, nails, and eyelash extensions, students develop foundational skills across multiple areas of cosmetology. We're committed to nurturing curiosity, creativity, and professional growth.
When you enroll in our cosmetology program, you're not just our student, you're our protégé.
A State-of-the-Art Curriculum...
At Atelier Academy, small classes create big opportunities for hands-on learning.
Our Minnesota cosmetology program combines experienced educators, professional beauty products, and personalized instruction to help students build their technical skills and creativity.
Within their first seven weeks, students begin gaining practical experience on the clinic floor, working with real guests under instructor supervision.
From foundational techniques to modern beauty trends, our goal is to prepare students for Minnesota's licensing examinations and their next steps in the beauty industry.

What to Expect:
Atelier Academy is seeking students who are serious about their careers, because we're serious about producing top-of-the-line cosmetologists. Because our student-teacher ratio is low, we work with students who are driven to work, learn and succeed.
Daily life is a mixture of classroom instruction and hands-on training on mannequins, models and real-world clients. Expect individual attention from your instructors, all of your questions answered quickly and thoroughly, and have their teaching methods adjusted to your learning style and speed. At the same time, we recognize that many students learn best when no one is watching, and they will also be able to learn and express creativity through independent exploration.
How much time will be spent in a classroom versus on the floor? How much time will be spent in independent learning versus one-on-one coaching? That all depends on you!
