About Us

Friends the Beauty Academy is committed to creating an upscale Day/Spa experience in a professional atmosphere at affordable prices. Friends the Beauty Academy warehouses quality products that are retailed to salon clients, as well as the immediate community. We train students who are elite in their class. At Friends the Beauty Academy, our focus is to prepare students for management and ownership of their own businesses with the possibility of taking part in our future franchise opportunities.

Friends the Beauty Academy is in its infant stage, however, it carries goodwill from previous business in respect of the hair industry. Rhon, the president of Friends the Beauty Academy, has strong backgrounds, with 40 years of experience, in business, cosmetology, and retail management.

Mission/Vision

Friends the Beauty Academy LLC. The theme is urban, industrial, techno and chic. The first question that rises for most is, “What does it mean?” If you asked that question, know that you probably are a baby boomer and haven’t been watching MTV or ESPN, where mass symbols and visualization play an important part in marketing.

We refer to it as being, “hip and cool” and that is what Friends the Beauty Academy, “a hip, cool service, product and training center for cosmetologists.” We are prepared to service the people of central Pennsylvania, whose population is growing every year. The educational center will be an elite school of styling, servicing a class of 50 every 12 months.

This will serve two purposes: Provide training and preparing students for the hair industry. Service the price-conscious economy in central Pennsylvania. Friends the Beauty Academy offers a full line of design products noted for their commitment to the environment. As a concept school for design, Friends the Beauty Academy is allowed to carry products other salons and schools do not. The front of the school is committed to being a strong retail center, inviting shoppers to interact.

What sets Friends the Beauty Academy apart from the competition is the combination of training students to perform services on men and women. Friends the Beauty Academy also is the only private school in the area that is affordable out of pocket. Friends the Beauty Academy will be the most technologically advanced cosmetology school establishment in York. I believe with the funding changes with vocational education, you will see more advanced academics forming.
