OUR HISTORY
We welcomed our first cosmetology class on November 26, 2006 as The Salon Professional
Academy in temporary facilities located in The Villages Florida as development progressed on
our nearby permanent campus. The Campus that we enjoy today was completed on schedule
and opened its doors to our second cosmetology class on January 8, 2007 and invited the public
to enjoy the student cosmetology services and retail opportunities provided on our spacious
clinic floor. To keep pace with the rapidly changing beauty and education industries a decision
was made in 2016 to rebrand the school as Tenaj Salon Institute.

Florida Corporation with legal ownership of Tenaj Salon Institute (hereafter referred to as

PLACEMENT AND EMPLOYMENT
The Institute exhibits a successful placement record for graduating students. Those students
that are focused, highly determined, motivated, and serious, are in high demand in the ever
growing beauty industry.
The Institute maintains contacts in the cosmetology profession to assist students in job placement.
Employers are encouraged to interview students, and every effort is made to secure a job
opportunity for each graduate. The program curriculum includes segments on salon business, job
search skills and interview skills. Job opportunities are routinely announced and posted in the
student breakroom. The Institute cannot guarantee student job placement. Students are monitored
on job placement following their graduation in an effort to offer further assistance if requested.
FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS
For those students who qualify the Institute participates in Federal Pell Grant Program. Also the
Institute participates in the Stafford/Ford Subsidized Direct Loan Program, Stafford/Ford
Unsubsidized Direct Loan Program and their associated Plus Loans elements. To apply for federal
financial aid, the student must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA), and supply the required documentation or verification of the information as
submitted.
1) Subsidized loans are need based; based on the school’s COA and the Student’s
Estimated Family Contributions (EFC), a determination is made concerning the need
or lack thereof.
2) Unsubsidized loans are not need based. School personnel counsel each student
carefully as a means of enabling students to minimize the amount of debt incurred
while attending school.
3) The Pell Grant is a grant to those who qualify (qualification is based on The EFC
determined when completing the FAFSA) and does not have to be repaid except in
cases where a student fails to complete a specified percentage of the pay period of
which they are currently attending. In cases where a student withdraws before
completing 60% of the specified pay period, a portion of the grant becomes the
student’s liability and as such may create a greater liability on the student in terms of
balance owed the school.
The financial aid administrator works with students in determining loan amount needs, all loans
must be certified by the school’s financial aid office. All student loans are binding agreements
between the student and the U S Department of Education and as such must be repaid. Failure to
repay student loans by student’s and or parents (Plus Loan) to the U S Department of Education
as scheduled on the promissory note will have adverse effects on the individual’s credit history.
Students are apprised of expected federal funds for a specified award period on or before the first
day of class based on financial and or other pertinent information the student provides to the
school when filing or verifying FAFSA information. Federal funds shall be disbursed at 1 hour,
451 hours and 901 hours. Disbursement of federal funds is contingent on the students being in
satisfactory progress at the scheduled disbursement date. Failure to maintain satisfactory progress
as defined in the school’s satisfactory progress policy will cause a student’s federal funds to be
withdrawn.

STUDENTS RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part
99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to
all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of
Education.
FERPA gives parents of dependent minor’s certain rights with respect to their children’s
education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or
attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are
“eligible students.”
Parents of dependent minors or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the
student’s education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide
copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents or
eligible students to review the records. The Institute will provide copies at the cost of $1.00
per page.
Parents of dependent minors or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct
records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend
the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing,
if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent
or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view
about the contested information.
Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent of dependent minors or
eligible student in order to release any information from a student’s education record. However,
FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or
under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):
1) School officials with legitimate educational interest;

catalog one week prior to enrollment or collection of tuition. A current copy of this Catalog is

EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
The following information was assembled using information from the United States Department
of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2014-15 Edition (Department) and O*NET Resource
Center (O*NET) in partnership with the Department. For further details about occupational code
39-5012.00 which includes Hairdressers, Hairstylists, and Cosmetologists (collectively
referred to as Cosmetology) visit the website of the Department; http://www.bls.gov/ooh/ and
O*NET; http://www.onetonline.org/
Nationwide O*NET’s 2022 data shows 555,800 Cosmetology employees and projects a 5% to
8% increase or 82,000 jobs openings over the 10 year period of 2022 to 2032.
The data show 40,680 Cosmetologist’s are employed in the state of Florida and project that
number to grow 13% to 45,980 employees by 2030. Florida is on track to create an additional
5,570 Cosmetology jobs due to growth and net replacement.
The Department suggests that, overall Cosmetologist job opportunities are expected to be good.
A large number of job openings will stem from the need to replace workers who transfer to
other occupations, retire, or leave the occupation for other reasons. However, workers should
expect strong competition for jobs and clients at higher paying salons, of which there are
relatively few and for which applicants must compete with a large pool of experienced
hairdressers and cosmetologists.
COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM
The Institute follows an independent course numbering system to assign courses in accordance
with program requirements. The system is designed to identify courses and differentiate the
level of study. Courses are numbered sequentially and assigned a letter prefix depicting the
program title.
