The American College of Hairstyling, based in Des Moines, Iowa, dedicated over 124 years to training skilled barbers and hairstylists. Offering comprehensive courses in Basic Barbering & Hairstyling as well as Barbering & Hairstyling for Cosmetologists, the school prepared students for licensing and careers in the barbering and beauty fields. Serving students from across the region — including Clive, Ankeny, Ames, and beyond — the college was committed to empowering cosmetologists, hairstylists, and beauticians with the skills needed for professional success. After more than a century of service, the American College of Hairstyling has since closed its doors, leaving behind a lasting legacy in beauty education.
