Get Connected – The Pivot Point Difference

In addition to over 70 years of educational experience, students in the 1000-hour Cosmetology program at Federico Beauty Institute have the benefit of learning their craft through the world-renowned Pivot Point International method.

Pivot Point’s educational philosophy is based on the belief that hair design is an art form, with hair as the medium. This artistic approach guides students and salon professionals through the basic elements of design – form, texture and color.

In place of textbooks, access all the content you’ll need on your approved device. Lessons are brought to life through a synergy of communication, collaboration and engaging activities.
