About Gould's Academy

Sam Gould opened his first salon in 1932, determined to create a refined atmosphere within a small, intimate setting. The concept proved to be successful, and the Gould name became synonymous with a quality salon experience. That emphasis on quality is exactly what the company hopes to pass on to the next generation of salon and spa professionals at the Gould's Academy. Here, licensed educators and industry professionals help mold aspiring stylists and aestheticians by providing valuable training in a real-life salon setting. Students showcase their skills by pampering actual clients using state-of-the-art treatment stations and equipment, and all services—including hair styling and coloring, mani-pedis, and facials—are performed under the supervision of the professionals leading the class.
