The Art of Wig & Hair Design Program
While others lose themselves in the story, you have your eyes on the details. You see how each character’s hair and styling expresses something about their nature, and you want to be part of the team that makes them real. You understand that becoming a wig maker means mastering styles from throughout history to create pieces persuading enough to survive bright lights, high-definition cameras and even the familiar gazes of a medical patient’s family. And you want a Diploma and a portfolio that employers will truly respect. This program will teach you all you need to know to design, create, and style wigs, facial hair, and faux fur.
Students who successfully complete this program will be awarded a Diploma approved by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission.
