American College of Hairstyling - Des Moines School Description
The American Colleges of Hairstyling were originally founded as Moler Barber Colleges in 1899 and 1900, making them two of the oldest schools in the nation. However, many people know the schools as either the Iowa Barber College or the Cedar Rapids Barber College. Today, the curriculum includes the core skills of barbering in addition to the latest techniques of men's and women's hairstyling.
Through the generations, the Schools' curriculum and philosophy have evolved to reflect trends in haircare services. Now, the American Colleges of Hairstyling offer hairstyles, permanent waves, and hair color to both men and women. Today, "hairstyling" is part of the name as it more clearly describes the curriculum and the services today's customers desire, and women have made up more than 50% of our enrollment.
