KC's School of Hair Design

KC's School of Hair Design is a private for-profit institution located in the rural community of Pontotoc, Mississippi. Offering programs of less than two years, the school is dedicated to preparing students for careers in cosmetology and beauty education. KC's enrolls 86 students (IPEDS 2023) and holds a quality score of 64.33 out of 100.

The school stands out with an exceptionally high retention rate of 97% and a solid completion rate of 74% (IPEDS 2023), indicating that students remain highly engaged once enrolled. KC's offers two certificate programs: Cosmetology/Cosmetologist, General and Cosmetology, Barber/Styling, and Nail Instructor. The instructor-track program is particularly notable, as it prepares graduates not only to work in salons but also to teach the next generation of beauty professionals.

Serving the rural northeast Mississippi region, KC's School of Hair Design provides an accessible pathway into the beauty industry for students who may not have easy access to larger metropolitan training centers. The remote rural setting means smaller class sizes and a close-knit training environment focused on hands-on skill development.
