What to expect as a Penrose Academy student
At Penrose Academy, students gain real-world editorial experience through creative styling events that showcase artistry in a professional, fast-paced setting.
Wander + Wonder: Our signature annual editorial runway and styling showcase, built around a unique theme. Students, alumni, and educators collaborate to design hair, makeup, and nail looks, presented in a live gallery and runway environment. Past themes have included Halloween, Circus, Art, Elements, and Eras.
Industry Events: Students also work behind the scenes at Phoenix Fashion Week, ASU’s annual fashion show, and other productions, gaining portfolio-worthy experience and exposure to the editorial styling world.
My favorite thing about Penrose Academy is their love and passion for the industry and mostly for each other. There is so much love and encouragement that it makes you feel much better about yourself. They are setting us up in real life scenarios and situations and bringing in outside professionals to give us a glimpse into the real world. Also, they are preparing us at the end with test out and mock interviews.
Penrose Academy partners with leading professional brands and educators to give students direct access to the same tools, techniques, and networks they’ll use in the industry.
Our faculty and staff are more than instructors, they are industry veterans, mentors, and advocates. Each brings real-world salon, spa, or medical esthetics experience, combined with a dedication to teaching the next generation.
