Cosmetology

Coined by a former student, “It’s a Z Thing!” has come to describe the many unique qualities of Z Hair Academy, an institution with four progressive hair schools in the Kansas City area. Since our inception in 2004, we have been dedicated to creating unique learning experiences and ensuring student success.

What Sets Z Hair Academy Apart

Impressive Leadership

• Licensed Educators
• Extensive Experience
• Industry Connections

Our founders, Ron and Judi McKenzie, and our licensed educators have many years of cosmetology training and industry-related experience as salon owners, manufacturer educators, product distributors and hair stylists. Ron has also traveled nationally and internationally as a platform artist working with many top industry professionals.

Positive Atmosphere & Culture

• Award-Winning 
• Family-Owned & Operated
• Smaller Class Sizes

As an award-winning, family-owned and operated institution with a student focus, Z Hair Academy is known for our positive atmosphere and culture. Rather than one large hair school, we have four smaller hair schools that allow for intimate class sizes and more one-on-one attention.

Comprehensive Education

• Innovative Teaching
• Challenging Curriculum          
• High-Energy Student Salons          

Z Hair Academy believes education is a life-long process. We begin with the foundational skills to become technically proficient, and then build upon those with advanced techniques to bring out creativity and maximize full potential. Students are exposed to many systems and techniques, providing a more comprehensive educational experience.
