Chasity Bailey

Administration/State Board Instructor

I graduated cosmetology school in 2010, I was on the road to success. I went back to school after about a year of working in a salon, to get my instructor's license. I love to cut hair, especially razor cuts. Helping students blossom into what they were called to be is so rewarding. I absolutely love being a stylist and an instructor. I teach the state board class as well and it a very structured class, I want my students to be confident in passing state board, so they can get their license and let their passion for doing hair explode. I now work in admissions; it is challenging and a whole different side of working in a cosmetology school. I work with a group of awesome people, that have a lot of knowledge and have a passion for the beauty industry. After 11 years I can still say I love my job.

Trevathan Adams Sr

Barber/Operator Instructor

Hello, my name is Trevathan Adams my passion started with Barbering and the full study of hair began in 2008. Earning my first license in 2012. I became a professional cosmetologist. With the long-term desire to become the best hair professional possible, I continued my education in the professional Barbering study and fully excelled. Opening 2 barbershops and working in the Greater city of Houston I learned a lot which opened doors to teaching small groups of motivated individuals with the idea to follow in the same field.

Now that I'm Lead Barber instructor here at AHD I will continue to pour in depth all that I know and experiences with Barbering.
