About Us
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
This school's basic philosophy is to offer an environment for effective instruction, training (theoretical and practical) and learning to prepare students to successfully graduate with skills and professional ethics needed to secure employment. We continuously search in our field for the latest professional procedures and styles to keep up to date of current changes in trends, designs, and techniques required by the demanding employer. Instruction is "individual" as well as "in a class" setting. This combination helps students, who are serious about beginning a new career with us; willing to work hard and learn all facets of our industry, realize their goal. Shear Fire Academy of Hair Design will provide the Mat-Su valley with above standard teaching in the cosmetology field.
We teach hairdressing, nails, braiding and skin care.
Shear Fire Design has been a successful hair salon in the Mat-Su Valley for over 18 years. During this time the owner, Jana R. Drake has seen a need for a beauty school in the Mat-Su Valley. As a certified instructor with the State of Alaska she decided to turn her salon into a school to serve the needs of the Mat-Su Valley. We welcome everyone to visit our salon and beauty school during the business hours.
