ABOUT US HISTORY Stevenson Academy of Hair Design was founded by Dorothy Mitchell Stevenson, a cosmetology instructor and salon, who simply wanted to “train a few students” to become successful in the field that had been such a blessing in her own life. Stevenson Academy of Hair Design’s first location was opened in February 1973 at 2039 Lapeyrouse Street in New Orleans, LA with three students. The school quickly grew and with the help of her daughter and son-in-law, Josulyn and James Williams, her dream of being instrumental in the professional development of graduates came to fruition. In March 1985, the second school was opened at 401 Opelousas Avenue in Historic Algiers Point to serve the needs of West Bank New Orleans. By the early 1990s, Stevenson Academy of Hair Design expanded its course offerings with Barber Styling and comprised comprehensive entry into the beauty industry including cosmetology, manicuring, esthetics and Teacher Training as well. In August 2005, the surge waters of Hurricane Katrina submerged the original campus. By December, all operations had moved to the Opelousas Street campus and Stevenson Academy of Hair Design welcomed back the remaining student body who had returned to the city. Stevenson Academy of Hair Design has always committed to improve the quality of life for its students and their families through education and entrepreneurship. The vision started with a few students and grew to thousands of successful graduates positively contributing to their communities. OUR MISSION Stevenson Academy of Hair Design is committed to preparing dedicated students for licensure and a fulfilling career in the beauty industry through a technical and artistically based curriculum designed to meet students at every learning level.
