ABOUT US
What drives the owner and staff of Arkansas Academy of Hair Design is a passion for the World of Beauty. It is the desire of each Instructor to give the highest quality education to the student and deliver excellent service to each customer that visits our schools.
OUR PEOPLE
Both schools are owner by Larry and Suzette (Futrell) Davidson. Suzette manages the schools. Larry and Suzette both grew up in this area and attended Brookland Public Schools. Suzette always had a love for beauty and started teaching in the Jonesboro School in 1980. She has seen her 30th anniversary of the teaching profession. This passion and love for the profession have grown stronger year after year.
The Instructors have a very important role in the operation and success of our students. In the Jonesboro school, Mrs. LeeAnne Bounds is the Senior Instructor. She has been teaching since 1991. Her teaching partner is Ms. Somer Midkiff. In the Paragould school, Mrs. Sandra Hendley is the Senior Instructor. Her teaching partner is Mrs. Sarah Jackson.
COMPANY
The Jonesboro school has been in operation since 1960. At the time it was built, it was owned by the Tucker Family. The Tuckers were very involved in the Beauty Industry. Suzette obtained both Cosmetology and Instructor Licenses under the Tuckers. The school was owned by out-of-state
owners for several years, and was managed by Suzette. The Davidsons purchased the Jonesboro school in 1996 and later opened a second school in Paragould.
