Eikonic Academy of Barbering and Beauty is a Mississauga, Ontario school offering full-time diploma programs in barbering and hairstyling.
Eikonic Academy of Barbering and Beauty is located at 720 Burnhamthorpe Road W, Unit 3, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The academy operates a salon and barbershop alongside the school. Its College Dean is Jessica Hoach, and its President is Martin Truong.
Eikonic Academy was founded after a decade of training apprentices and operating its own salon and barbershop. The founders established the academy because current models of post-secondary beauty education were not preparing students to be successful in the beauty industry.
The academy's mission is to make the world a more beautiful and positive place by bringing people together to engage in fun and inspirational beauty education and experiences. It aims to unify barbers and stylists to celebrate the many expressions of hair. The academy says it inspires future professionals to be well-rounded in technical, interpersonal and entrepreneurial skills.
The academy offers full-time diploma programs including a Barber Major, a Hairstylist Major, and a Double Major. Its hairstyling and barbering program is described as radically relevant and designed to get students working fast. Learner-centered education addresses visual, audio, kinaesthetic, and reading and writing learning styles. Workshops include Barber Navigation, Scissors Navigation, Fade Navigation, and Head Spa Workshops.
Applicants can apply through the Full-time Diploma Program application, which follows a phased admissions process. A separate Diploma Enrolment Application is completed as an online form that includes an essay and an application fee.
