ÐÓ°ÉÊÓÆµ

Why We’re Different

ÐÓ°ÉÊÓÆµ is Directed by experienced salon professionals and business owners Jessica Johnson and Jennifer O’Connor. Our educators here at the ÐÓ°ÉÊÓÆµ are highly skilled and trained at what they do, but they’re also very passionate. One important focus is ensuring that each student gets that one-on-one time with our educators.

As one of the area’s leading beauty schools, Summit Salon Academy focuses on providing students with the necessary skill set to prepare them for a successful future. Summit Salon Academy utilizes the Summit SalonTM performance-based system to teach future service providers how to provide an exceptional guest experience and enhance their earning potential.

The Academy marries this performance-based methodology with technical training to provide the most innovative and advanced cosmetology school experience available in North America.

There is a network of 3,500 Summit Salons throughout North America that are anxious to recruit these graduates. Summit Salon Academy is the area’s only Redken Premier School, Dermalogica, and NovaLash Partnership School. It is accredited by the National Accrediting Commission Of Career Arts & Sciences.

ÐÓ°ÉÊÓÆµ is located in Perrysburg, Ohio, only 15 minutes from Toledo, Ohio.
