About the Mitsu Sato Hair Academy

“It’s so nice to see a school teach students the business and leadership aspects of cosmetology. Upon graduation, Mitsu’s students know and understand where they are going and what they are doing! When they enter a professional salon, they are sure of what is expected of them as well as know the true knowledge of hair color and hair cutting.”
- Steve Lentz, Senior Account Executive, State Beauty Supply.
