Welcome to John Amico School of Hair Design

John Amico is a recognized name in salons throughout the United States. Amico, who personally formulates organic hair and skin products along with organic hair color, perms, and relaxers has many lines that are used by some of the top names in the beauty industry. He brings the same passion he has used to create these products into his enterprise of Beauty Education. Amico has founded and owned three large chains with over 425 salons. Now after selling them to move forward in the industry, he is giving back to students and professionals by sharing his knowledge, acquired through a lifetime of experience.

For over 45 years, John Amico has been educating students to enter a professional career in the Beauty Industry. Amico has provided thousands of graduates with State Of The Art "Cosmetology Educations, " and many have gone on to become very successful stylists and salon owners. Amico's exclusive location in Oak Forest (a suburb of Chicago) offers Salon and Spa Services to clients as if they were in a salon. Student stylists, supervised by Amico's handpicked professional educators, perform services with Amico's highest quality cutting-edge products.

Amico's school is designed to have the feel of a real salon, so students have a sense of working in an authentic setting. The education is focused with the student in mind, so they are self-assured and salon-ready upon graduation.
