Tranquility Design Academy is noted for its creative 10-month teaching curriculum for future hair stylists by introducing students to a Fine Art Foundation Workshop that trains stylists to view clientele with the critical eye of an artist along with a creative edge. Not only does the academy focus on the basic foundations of cosmetology school, but more than 75 percent of its courses lead the trainees to harness their own positive energy, skills and talents to realize and maximize their full potential not only to be expert hair stylists, but as compassionate, caring human beings who have been taught to nurture their self-esteem and self-confidence. Harding is a firm believer in “paying it forward.”

“By teaching students to realize their own potential, we're teaching our stylists to realize the maximize potential of our clients, whether they need a great haircut, a soothing massage or a relaxing pedicure,” said Harding. “Excellent product and service is a given, but providing a deeper sense of healing and rejuvenation for our clients is the ultimate goal for Tranquility,” added Harding.
