Makangels Beauty is a recognized training agent approved by the United States Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship. Our salon offers a dynamic, hands-on learning environment where registered apprentices can train under the guidance of our licensed, highly skilled, and experienced Journeyman stylists.
Makangels Beauty Salon proudly hosts an Apprenticeship Program, providing aspiring professionals the opportunity to earn their license in Hair Design or Cosmetology in the state of Indiana.
Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway that enables employers to develop and prepare their future workforce. Individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally recognized credential.
There are five key components of a Beauty Trade Apprenticeship. These components differentiate apprenticeships from other types of workplace training programs in several ways
The Hair Design Apprenticeship offers an alternative pathway to obtaining licensure in the Beauty Industry. This program focuses exclusively on hair and its associated safety practices, unlike Cosmetology School, where students must also master a broader range of industry skills. Apprentices in this program are employees who gain hands-on experience in the beauty trade while earning a wage. In addition to their practical work, our apprentices follow a job-related curriculum to ensure they meet the necessary standards to achieve their professional license.
Our Hair Design Apprentices are diligently working towards completing 1,200 hours of in-person and online education required to obtain their Indiana State Hair Design License. Once they fulfill these state requirements, they are eligible to take the State Board Exam. Upon passing, they will receive their official Hair Design License, marking the start of their professional journey in the beauty industry.
A significant aspect of our apprenticeship program involves assisting all stylists during regular salon hours. During your appointment, you may receive services from both your stylist and their apprentice. As apprentices advance in their curriculum and pass tests administered by our educators, they are authorized to accept their clients under the supervision of an educator present in the salon. Additionally, apprentices take on responsibilities such as coordinating appointments and maintaining salon upkeep, ensuring a smooth and professional experience for all.
In addition to completing an online curriculum, each apprentice benefits from mentorship, ongoing education, and one-on-one support from our Approved Hair Educators. Apprentices also participate in additional education classes led by hair educators and specialists, offered both virtually and in-person, to further enhance their skills and knowledge.
Absolutely! Through our Apprenticeship Program, our apprentices are legally permitted to perform services for clients. They begin by observing and assisting experienced stylists, gradually progressing to practicing various techniques on real clients. This unique educational experience allows our apprentices to learn directly from seasoned professionals while providing our clients with high-quality services at an affordable price.
Absolutely! Each apprentice is employed, receives an hourly wage, and gratefully accepts gratuity for their services.
