Welcome to the world of cosmetology. The beauty and hair world is bigger than ever, and the need for creative, well-trained cosmetologists is growing.
Lowell Academy’s main objective is offering beginning courses in cosmetology and manicuring to prepare students to become hairdressers and nail technicians. The Academy’s performance—oriented curriculums consist of 1000 clock hours for cosmetology and 110 hours for manicuring. Satisfactorily completing these programs will qualify students to apply for a state-licensing exam.
Lowell Academy continually updates their courses with new techniques to provide students with state-of-the-art instruction while providing support for their personal and professional growth.

Our History
-
Founded in 1933 by Newton and Anna Akashian, Lowell Academy was first located at 97 Central Street, which is directly across the street from our current location. Mr. Akashian was a member of Hair America, which is the style body in charge of creating the new fashions for the National Cosmetologists Association. Mrs. Anna Akashian was one of the charter members of the Massachusetts Cosmetology Association. Their son, N. Robert Akashian Jr. is now the director of the school.

This information is given to students prior to graduation. A graduate may also call the school or drop in to find out about our latest listing of available jobs.
