Thoughts—Ideas—Visions
It all begins in the mind. Whether creating a hair design, sculpture, painting or a company, nothing happens until someone thinks of it. My own vision for my life’s work—and of the creation of Pivot Point—came when I discovered The Bauhaus, the most celebrated art school of modern times. Its aim, as is ours, was to train craftspeople to elevate their skills to a higher level of artistic creativity. By adapting the Bauhaus philosophy to the craft of cosmetology, Pivot Point provides the educational structure to develop true hair designers.

I am extremely proud that Pivot Point has, for over 45 years, created successful careers for thousands of designers—designers who create in the realm of hair design, esthetics, and nails, who satisfy millions of clients in salons throughout the world. Many of the principles of art and form and color are used in all three areas of study and practice.

I invite you to explore with us the uniqueness of Pivot Point International, Inc. Join our artistic community. Embark on your own journey of lifelong meaning. Let us help empower you to reach the highest levels of hair design, esthetics, and nails. Together we will increase the well-being of all your customers.
