Awards in Education

Tricoci University centers its teaching approach around developing graduates that can surpass industry expectations and make contributions in areas that are important to employers, such as confidence and technical knowledge, ability to increase revenue through upselling and retail sales, generating strong client relationships, and using superior sanitation practices. And, having been founded by industry legend and salon chain owner Mario Tricoci, producing “industry-ready” graduates remains at the forefront of Tricoci University’s mission and is part of its DNA.

Because of this, Tricoci University of Beauty Culture has been granted numerous awards over the years, including many Excellence in Education Awards from Modern Salon, Intercoiffure Mondial’s Best World Academy Award, Repêchage’s President’s Award for School of the Year, and more.
