Our Story


Since opening our doors in 2006, Summit Salon Academy has been dedicated to inspiring the next generation of beauty professionals. What began in the historic district of downtown Lexington has grown into our 15,000-square-foot campus on New Circle Road, where we continue to provide an exceptional educational experience in a welcoming and supportive environment.

At Summit Salon Academy, we believe education is about more than mastering technical skills. Our educators and staff are committed to helping every student build confidence, develop professionalism, and gain the business knowledge needed for a successful and fulfilling career. We strive to create an environment where students feel encouraged, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential.

As a proud Redken Elite Cosmetology School, we offer programs in Cosmetology, Esthetics, and Instructor Training. Our curriculum combines industry-leading education with hands-on experience, preparing students with the technical expertise, confidence, and professional skills needed to succeed. Our goal is to graduate skilled, career-ready professionals who are equipped to make a lasting impact in the beauty industry and continue growing throughout their careers.
