Sean Stewart
Stylist, Educator, and Academy of Beauty Teacher
Sean Stewart is a highly experienced hair stylist, entrepreneur, and educator with over 17 years in the beauty industry. With an unwavering dedication to his craft, Sean has refined his skills through years of hands-on experience, advanced education, and professional certifications. As a Redken Certified Colorist, Certified Redken Blonding Expert, and former Alterna Haircare Educator, he brings exceptional expertise in color theory, blonding, and salon innovation.
After years of mastering his artistry, Sean fulfilled his dream of opening his own salon in the heart of the High Desert. His salon quickly became known as a sanctuary for transformation, offering clients not just services but unforgettable experiences marked by creativity, quality, and care. Beyond the salon, Sean has worked with national brands such as Alterna Haircare, training and inspiring hairstylists across the region. His teaching style combines technical excellence with a deep passion for empowering others, helping aspiring professionals unlock their full potential.
This same passion now drives Sean’s leadership at the Academy of Beauty, a State Board–accredited cosmetology program designed to change lives. More than just a school, the Academy is a beacon of opportunity—offering high school students a free, license-ready cosmetology education that saves families thousands of dollars in tuition while preparing students for careers as hairstylists, estheticians, nail artists, makeup professionals, and salon owners.
Students train with professional kits and tools from industry leaders like Pivot Point, Redken, and Sam Villa, gaining the same resources used by top stylists worldwide. Mondays are dedicated client-service days, giving students hands-on salon experience with real guests. Field trips to industry shows, mentorship, and strict professional standards—from uniforms to a no-distraction classroom environment—instill the discipline, confidence, and professionalism needed to thrive.
At the Academy of Beauty, creativity has no limits. Every student, regardless of background, finds a place to belong and a path to success. Graduates leave not only with hours and skills, but with professional portfolios, real-world experience, and the belief in themselves to shine.
Under Sean’s guidance, the Academy continues to grow as both a training ground and a transformative community—where education sparks independence, artistry builds confidence, and students step boldly into a future full of creativity and possibility.
