About PACE
Welcome to Premier Academy of Cosmetology and Esthetics (PACE). At PACE, you will discover an innovative learning environment equipped with experienced faculty dedicated to providing students with a high-quality education and an opportunity to pursue a career in Cosmetology or Esthetics. PACE was founded in 2023 by industry experts Jennifer Rosauer and Meghan Hinojosa. Jennifer and Meghan have established a strong reputation within the greater Kansas City area through their track record of working with students and successfully preparing them for rewarding careers as cosmetologists, estheticians, educators and business owners.
PACE was founded with the shared goal of elevating the beauty industry. This is accomplished by providing students with advanced education that is traditionally offered post graduation. Jennifer and Meghan saw a need in the cosmetology and esthetic school sector to develop graduates with the advanced skills needed to secure noteworthy positions in the industry. PACE is committed to forming partnerships with local industry-related businesses. These partnerships provide PACE students with externship and networking opportunities.
Our Teaching Philosophy
Effectively educate by creating a safe environment that is interactive, collaborative, and promotes problem solving skills. Beyond teaching fundamental concepts, educators foster critical thinking, facilitate learning, and help students develop ownership of the learning process. Learning is student centered and students are equal partners in the learning process. The role of the educator is to act as a resource for students, and to put the necessary information in the hands of students so they are well equipped to find and evaluate additional resources. Teaching should empower students to take ownership of their education and help them realize that they are responsible for their learning outcomes. Encouraging cooperation and active learning is something we strive to do. Giving students prompt feedback and having high expectations creates an environment where they are held accountable. It has been our experience that students are likely to succeed when they are provided structure and support.
Our Values
PACE is a family-oriented institution focused on strong values and character. Our goal is to encourage students to rely on an extended network of reciprocal relationships in order to give and receive social, emotional, and community support.
