About Eikonic Academy of Barbering and Beauty
The barbering and hairstyling industry needs more talent, interactions and technical education. Traditional models of beauty education and apprenticeships are not preparing students for an industry that is constantly evolving. So, we decided to be the change that we wanted to see.
Eikonic Academy is for people who desire to do fulfilling, creative and meaningful work. It’s for artistic inspiration, networking and achieving your personal best. Design your future. Challengers do.
Eikonic full-time alumni do much more than just train to enter a new career in barbering and hairstyling — they excel. By applying new skills and ways of thinking, they become leading artists and salon and barbershop owners of some of the most reputable salons and barbershops. From here, you can go anywhere!
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a post-secondary education that adequately prepares students both in the technical and business skills required to excel in the ever-evolving beauty industry.
We were just like you. We had our day 1. We craved more. More challenges, more resources, more fulfillment. Most of all we wanted to make more of a difference. So we took matters into our own hands and never looked back. Eikonic Academy was founded 9 years after we began our barbershop. We realized that the current models of post-secondary beauty education were not preparing students to be successful in the beauty industry.
Our instructors have years of experience working in the industry or have owned their own salons and barbershops. We know the skills salons and barbershops need and the kind of people they want to hire. Let us help write your first chapter so that you make your passion your pay check.
