Preparing the next generation
of hair stylists
This isn’t your average cosmetology program
At Palette, you’ll have the RARE opportunity to learn from a global trailblazer, whose passion is to change the way the world looks at cosmetology as an industry
We BELIEVE it’s time to transform the perception surrounding attending hair school.
Here are Palette, we believe that you should leave beauty school with expert skills, knowledge, and confidence to walk into any salon and land the job of your dreams!
We equip you with the skills to know exactly what to do when you get your first client, have to do a color correction or have someone who wants a new look.
I am a former student and part of the first graduating class. If I could give this school 6 stars, I would in a heartbeat. It was truly a blessing finding this school when I did. It has been worth every penny and time I put into it. The instructors are very well educated, as well as the owner, Hans. From cutting, to extensions, to shampoo/blow drying, and client consultations. I truly believe that every student gets that one-on-one learning experience with every service and client. I have definitely grown as an individual with the help of the instructors. I have been to other schools as a client and you do not get this experience anywhere else!

Palette is a wonderful place with a great teaching staff! Chloe did an amazing job of styling my hair and I loved my experience. As Hans worked with her, I learned so much about styling my own hair. He has just the right amount of hands-on demonstration, but then leaves the student alone to gain confidence in their skill.

Become the IN-DEMAND, Confident Hair Stylist You’ve Always Wanted To Be!
We know that being a hairstylist isn't for the faint of heart. It takes hard work, dedication, and a passion for creativity. But it's also incredibly rewarding. You get to help people look and feel their best, and you get to express your creativity every day!
But being a hairstylist can also be misunderstood. People often think that it's just about cutting and styling hair. But there's so much more to it than that. Hair stylists are also artists, therapists, and confidantes. They help people feel good about themselves, and they make a real difference in their lives.
We'll teach you the skills you need, and we'll help you develop your creativity. We'll also help you build your confidence, so you can feel good about yourself and your work.
We offer a comprehensive education and training program that will teach you everything you need to know about cutting, styling, coloring, and more. We prioritize hands-on experience working with real clients, so you can practice your skills and build your confidence. You’ll always have expert help right next to you, so you can feel confident when trying something new.
In addition to our excellent education and training program, we also offer a variety of support services to help you succeed. We have a team of experienced hair stylists who are available to answer your questions and provide guidance. We also have a strong community network that can help you find jobs and make connections in the industry. Even help with getting on movies, photoshoot sets, TV, and runway!

We specialize in providing students with real-world elite training that was previously only attainable through direct apprenticeships with a select few artists. Our students receive thorough training with unparalleled 1-on-1 attention, an experience unmatched by any other school. Working in fashion shows and behind the chair at one of Chicago's largest salons gives us a unique advantage, as it is essential for educators to be immersed in the trend-setting environment of the industry. With my extensive industry connections, I can help students pursue a wide range of hair-related careers. What we offer is truly unparalleled and unlike anything else available.

-
Our program inspires and prepares the next generation of stylists. We don’t take that lightly and want each of our students to be taking it serious too.
