Gene Juarez Programs:

Cosmetology

An education from Gene Juarez Academy goes far beyond cutting hair. Our high standards and world-class approach provide students with the tools, techniques, business and life skills to become successful.

You will learn about design, texture, color, style, and fashion along with skin and nail care. In addition, you will gain experience working with a wide variety of product lines and developing customized hair care programs for a variety of hair types. You'll get a chance to create beauty, work with real clients in a salon-like setting, participate in competitions and community events, and unleash your creative potential!

"I recommend Gene Juarez Academy because it is a very professional atmosphere and everything I was taught was with class.  The skill level that you leave with from the academy is above and beyond anywhere else.  I would recommend Gene Juarez Academy to anyone!"

-- Tiffany Wolf, Gene Juarez Academy Graduate, North Seattle Campus

"The teaching methods are precise.  It is, overall, a positive working and learning environment that is far superior to any other I've seen.  If you want to be "better than average" this is the place to come.  I have learned a lot."

--Kristine Stabrawa, Gene Juarez Academy Graduate, South Seattle Campus

Hand and Foot Therapy

The Hand and Foot Therapy program is a natural nail program founded in therapy and wellness. It's an ideal second career choice for someone who wants to work with people. The program prepares students with skills that will enable them to perform natural nail services offered in a spa environment.

As the beauty industry evolves, new services come into being. One such service is Hand & Foot Therapy, a special offering that combines the art and science of skin and nail care with the wellness and stress relief of massage.

Touching hands, improving lives

One of the most rewarding things we can do in life is to be of service to others. As a hand and foot therapist, you will not only aid in your guests' appearance, you will help them feel healthier.

It's estimated that in a person's life, he or she will walk the equivalent of three times around the earth. No wonder our feet crave care and attention. Special techniques in acupressure and reflexology will allow you to relieve a guest's stress. You'll learn how by relaxing the foot you can relax their entire body.

"Gene Juarez Academy goes above and beyond to make sure the curriculum surpasses state requirements and provides the best education possible."

--Pamela Nelson, Gene Juarez Academy Graduate, North Seattle Campus

"I attended Gene Juarez Academy for both the Cosmetology and Hand & Foot Therapy programs and loved it.  Gene Juarez Academy has a wonderful atmosphere and I wouldn't have chosen another school."

--Amber Lane, Gene Juarez Academy Graduate, North Seattle Campus
