Atelier Academy of Beauty is proud to be more than just a beauty school in Hopkins, Minnesota. We are a thriving, community-rooted institution that has grown with purpose, vision, and the support of our students and educators.
Our journey started with a dream to elevate beauty education and provide something different. We wanted to create a learning experience built on real-world readiness, creativity, and human connection. That dream came to life in our first cozy building. There, our reputation as a high-quality Minnesota cosmetology school began to grow.
As demand grew and our programs expanded, we needed more room to breathe, teach, and create. That led us to our flagship location at 1413 Mainstreet in Hopkins, MN-a stunning, light-filled space with garage doors, an open concept, and an atmosphere designed for inspiration.


One Beauty Academy, Two Locations, Infinite Possibilities
As Atelier Academy continued growing, we saw the opportunity to expand within our beloved community of Hopkins. Just down the street, we found the perfect space to continue our mission. We added a second building that now houses our classrooms and theory-based instruction.
By creating a dual-building campus, we’ve been able to thoughtfully divide our spaces:
- ✂️ One location is focused on student services and client experience-where students perform real-world haircuts, color, nail services, and facials in our student salon.
- 📚 The second is dedicated to education and hands-on learning in programs like cosmetology, nail technology, hair technology, and eyelash extensions.
Both spaces are designed to mirror our values: bright, open, student-focused, and deeply rooted in community. We even added our signature garage doors to the second building, so no matter which side you’re learning on, you still get to enjoy every drop of sunshine Minnesota offers.


Why Hopkins, MN is the Perfect Home for Our Beauty School
Hopkins is more than our location-it’s a key part of who we are. Our Hopkins cosmetology school sits in a walkable, charming downtown where many of our students live, work, and build early connections in the beauty industry. From coffee shops to local salons, Hopkins, MN supports our students inside and outside the classroom.
And with the future light rail line arriving in Hopkins in the coming years, Atelier Academy is positioned to be even more accessible for future students commuting from across the Twin Cities. It’s an exciting step forward in making beauty education in Minnesota more connected and inclusive.
