Education is the key to all success We hear this time and time again! At the Metropolitan Hair Academy of Beauty and Barbering, we believe in this statement and understand even more so that in Hair, as well as in Life, learning is an ongoing development.
As pioneers in our hairstyling profession, The Metropolitan Hair Academy, IT&LY Hair Fashion Group and Pivot Point International have given us the tutoring and culture needed to provide our students the foundations and creativity to expand on your natural talents not only in foundations but inspired cutting, hair coloring and styling techniques.
The Metropolitan Hair Academy of Beauty and Barbering was created to bring the best of our cutting, styling and colouring worlds together. Both Cosmetology and Barbering under one roof. It has been said that if you wanted to cut hair, you would go to a barber school, and if one wanted to be creative, well beauty school was for you. Well if you want to know all there is to know about hair you want to go to a school that teaches you both cosmetology and barbering and has history doing it. The Metropolitan Hair Academy is just that.
Most beauty schools or hairstyling schools would only teach one or the other in the academy, always leaving out something. Metropolitan Hair Academy looks to allow the students the best methods of teaching for learning all there is to know about hair.
In 1975 World Champion Hair Stylist Kostas Melissaris looked at the hairstyling profession and realized, No One person could cut everyones hair in the world. It is here that he believed that the talent of cutting and styling hair needed to be passed onto the generations. To create this dream he opened his first Hair Academy in Charlotte NC, The Hairstyling Institute of Charlotte. Hailing from Athens Greece, Kostas knew that barbering alone would not last long in the U.S., let alone his new home city, thus making his first hair academy a European fashioned hair school.
After 35 years, and now his son Nicholas Melissaris at the helm, the Melissaris family is proud to present The Metropolitan Hair Academy of Beauty and Barbering. This school was a long time in the making, simply because all of the correct pieces needed to be in place before it was launched. Hair Fashion is my passion, and the combination of giving my students the ability to be creative and financially rewarded is what drives me to give them the best of information our hair styling profession has to offer. For a student to be given the opportunity in hairdressing two things need to be present, a personal dedication to his or her industry and the quality of the credentials that they can present not only to the hair styling salons, but more importantly the client in how they create for them Choosing to study at The Metropolitan Hair Academy provides you with both.
Upon looking for the educational systems that are provided today in our beauty and barbering or hairstyling profession, Nicholas found that few systems had the barber or hairdresser in mind as did Pivot Point Educational Systems. Trained in Roffler Cutting and Styling Techniques, Framesi Hair Color, Peter Hantz Perming, Perma of Paris, The Kemon Group and a slew of other professional hairstyling programs, both Kostas and Nicholas sat down to find the companies that pulled from family and education. Pivot Point does exactly that. Education that has the student in mind for optimum learning and retention.
When seeking our educational system for the Metropolitan Hair Academy of Beauty, Pivot Point was the beginning to the end. Leo Passge, Founder of Pivot Point and Kostas Melissaris go back in the beauty and hair industry from 1970s. Mr. Passages inspiration stemmed from the world renowned and most celebrated art school of modern times. Its aim as well as Pivot Points was to train crafts people, hairstylists to elevate their skills to a higher level of artistic creativity. By adapting that philosophy to the craft of cosmetology and barbering, Pivot Point provides the educational structure to develop true hair designers. And so the first part of the system was put into place.
The IT&LY Hair Fashion Group which hails from Milan Italy, the home of fashion, actually found the Melissaris family as it was looking for a distributor to begin carrying both its products and also teach the stylist in the U.S. a better foundation based way of coloring and creativity in haircutting and styling. First created in 1987, Lucio Fusaro and his family have been producing and distributing products, training professional hairstylists, and creating images for the hair styling market for almost 25 years. Now, IT&LY Hair Fashions can be found in other countries such as Russia, South America, Hong Kong United Kingdom and Dubai, U.A.E., truly becoming a world renowned hair company.
In 2006, Nicholas Melissaris embarked on the notion of opening up a true hair academy that was able to blend every aspect of the hair profession all into one. The Metropolitan Hair Academy coupled with the IT&LY Hair Fashion Group and Pivot Points educational system did just that in the United States for students that wish to begin their beauty profession in hair. Because the Fusaro and Melissaris families have the same mission statement for Quality, Innovation, Creativity and Efficiency, it was a perfect marriage in hair ideals and the vision of People are the most Valuable Resource, could not be stated any better in our beauty profession.
By infusing both Pivot Point education in hair design and the approach to healthy and beautiful hair through IT&LY Hair Fashions, the Metropolitan Hair Academy of Beauty is poised to pursue continual growth in our education while providing you the future stylist the tools to become the newest pioneers in the Hairstyling world today.
