 Pivot Point International
Federico Beauty Institute is a proud member school of Pivot Point International, the beauty
industry’s leading educational system. As Sacramento’s educational partner in Pivot Point’s
worldwide network, Federico Beauty Institute shares the philosophy that cosmetology is beyond
beauty. It’s an art form.
For more than 40 years, Pivot Point has led the cosmetology industry worldwide, with a cutting
edge, high-quality curriculum and unique approach to beauty.
What distinguishes Pivot Point is a revolutionary educational style that stems from a philosophy
developed by world champion hair designer Leo Passage. His philosophy is commonly called
the “Scientific Approach,” a belief that cosmetology is an art form. The principles of art and
design-- form, texture and color-- translate into hair design, esthetics and nails.
Pivot Point educational principles value the “why”—not just the “how”— in cosmetology. When
a student only understands the how, only technical skills are learned. The exclusive Pivot Point
curriculum teaches and explores the why.
Federico Beauty Institute embraces the Pivot Point philosophy, which promotes creativity and
originality amongst students, allowing them to see cosmetology as an art form. This educational
foundation allows students to enter the cosmetology workforce as highly trained craftspeople,
with a heightened level of artistic creativity.
