KNOXVILLE INSTITUTE OF HAIR DESIGN was established in 1961 by Jack Rogers, under the name of Knoxville Barber College. At that time, instruction concentrated on Barbering, with a training area of 2,200 square feet. As the school prospered, we grew into our current location at 1221 N. Central Street, with 7,500 square feet of training area to better serve and teach our students. Just as the physical size of the facility expanded, our curriculum expanded also to encompass all of our exciting programs.

 

KNOXVILLE INSTITUTE OF HAIR DESIGN is dedicated to providing students with a high-quality training program geared for individual student success. We follow the changing needs of the beauty field to provide students with current applicable skills, as well as, the instruction needed, as defined by the TN State Boards, for licensing requirements. It is our obligation as educators to tap into each student's abilities, talents, and strengths, and send well trained, well prepared, and highly motivated graduates out into the salon, and shop world. We don't want to JUST prepare our students for entry level...we want them to know why they are learning what they are learning, and HOW to apply it to future work. We challenge our students to be successful, not entry-level average, by offering more than just preparing them for the State Board exam...we must, and will prepare them for the Barber and Beauty industry.
