Is my tuition refundable if I change my mind about the class?

Any item purchased in the “student kit” is 100% non-refundable. Your full tuition is refundable 14 days or more prior to the start date of the class you registered for. 50% of your tuition is refundable between 7-13 days prior and your tuition is totally non-refundable 0-6 days before the start of class. If your tuition is refunded in full for any reason whatsoever, you are not eligible to take any classes within the same calendar year. You must wait until the following year to register for a class. Refund does not include merchant fees.

Can I reschedule for another class if I'm unable to attend the one I registered for?

Absolutely. We understand that any number of things can happen and you may not be able to start your class. You may reschedule for another class if space allows.
Because of the intensive style of classes we provide, the maximum persons allowed are 4 persons for all virtual classes. From time to time past students may drop in for a refresher but they are not allowed to interactively disrupt the class.

Why do virtual students have to purchase their own student kits?

We give our virtual students the option to purchase the tools they need as some students may already have some tools in their possession that may be included in our kit. The kit can be itemized or purchased as a full kit. This option saves you time and money and guarantees you get your kit in time for class!

How long is the class?

The classes are typically 4-day intensives and 4hrs per day. Virtual or in-person class duration may vary. Added time per day–up to 6hrs–will be considered contingent on connectivity stability for virtual students. If there are any connectivity disruptions, the hours for the class per day may be extended.

What if I have connectivity issues on the day of my virtual class?

If there are any connectivity disruptions, the hours for the class per day may be extended. An extra day may be requested or added if there are major connectivity issues or acts of God. In extreme cases of disruptions the class will be rescheduled.

Who are my instructors?

Your instructors are seasoned career stylists, salon owners and industry pioneers who have worked in the natural hair industry since 1998. Their combined set of skills is sought far and wide in the US and internationally.

Do I need to be a licensed stylist to take the class?

No, but you may need to have some level of skill; this class is not ideal for novices. Check state laws for additional licensing requirements prior to taking our certified class if you plan to work inside of a salon or travel to another state for work. Currently, 32 out of 50 states in the US are currently deregulated for professional natural hair services and do not require additional licensing. Our certified program gives you all the legitimacy you need to confidently service microloc clients as a Certified Microloc Specialist. By joining the Alliance for Microloc Professionals (AMP) post certification, you’d have all the support you’d need to thrive as you grow in your new profession.

How do I get priority listing in the directory?

All past students will be added to the general directory upon completion of the program and will be searchable by clients on the “Find A Pro” tab on the main menu.

A comprehensive directory listing is available for all past students with full membership benefits if you accept the invitation to join the Alliance for Microloc Professionals (AMP). This program is 100% endorsed by AMP.

What is the Alliance for Microloc Professionals?

AMP is a regulatory membership-based organization created by the founder of Microloc Academy to ensure an ongoing transparent and supportive global network for past students of the academy and other professionals.

The organization runs parallel to the academy and is one of the most prestigious of its kind currently in the industry–enforcing best practices throughout its global network and encouraging high accountability with its members.

I honestly thought that I would need to wait and show more of my work before someone would be interested in letting me do their microlocs. This is a dream come true. I was able to begin working with clients only a few weeks after the class. You learn so much in class and the alumni group, you will be confident and ready to grab your first paying client in a short time. I'm so excited for my client and myself!

I learned so much with the courses I took with Microloc Academy! I am so so happy I took the course before starting Barber School. Here is why: When we were doing the diseases of the scalp, the hair principles and the hair design principle, it was easier for me, and it put me in a better position than the rest of my class. Thanks to Ms Riri who really helped me retain even more with her great teaching. I got 100 on my test in Barber School because I learned it with Microloc Academy first.

Microloc Academy is THE BEST!!!
