Honor Your Teacher
Beauty School Educators are at the core of the salon industry. Training our future stylists, they instill a love of the beauty business and change lives.
Each Spring, in cooperation with Pivot Point, ICA asks students across North America to nominate their favorite teacher.
- Top five honorees win a paid trip to New York to attend ICA’s Fall Atelier with our members
Every spring, in collaboration with our supporting groups and partnering with Pivot Point, ICA touches over 20,000 students to ask for their participation in acknowledging the teacher who influenced them during their time in school.
As the people who introduce students to the beauty industry, instructors have a lasting impact and remain an important presence in the lives of many students.
Being acknowledged by a student for their influence is one of the highest honors a teacher can achieve. Intercoiffure is an association of elite hairdressers who attribute their success to mentors and are committed to recognizing the educators who guide students from the first day of their professional path.
Teachers also play a huge role in helping students find a salon where they can continue their career path. Igniting passion in a student lights the way to success.
A panel of ICA members chose the five deserving honorees, presented at our Fall Atelier each September.
