The Salon Professional Academy

TSPA is truly a unique place of learning. We’ve taken the best of salon life and the education world and blended them to a harmonious whole with our Nashville cosmetology school. With the hustle and bustle of a large, high end salon, students spend the bulk of their time here learning in a real life atmosphere. In an effort to best prepare our students for excellence and success upon graduation, we keep them accountable through their technical, business, and service skills. TSPA students spend their time in the cosmetology classroom with a highly qualified education staff of board licensed cosmetology instructors with over 80 years of combined industry experience.  The Salon Professional Academy believes that our approach gives our graduates a distinct advantage when entering the marketplace.

Our Mission
