About Pivot Point
MCOC is a Pivot Point International member school.
Pivot Point is an internationally-known cosmetology college in Evanston, Illinois. The foundation of this education is the Designer's Approach, developed by Pivot Point founder and Chairman Emeritus, Leo Passage. Mr. Passage was influenced by the Bauhaus, one of the most celebrated art schools of modern times. Like the Bauhaus, Pivot Point trains craftspeople to elevate their skills to a higher level of creativity.
For over 47 years, Pivot Point International has been recognized as the world leader in cosmetology. Many top designers are Pivot Point educated. Its training system has been translated into eight languages and is used in over 2,000 schools and graduate centers in 70 countries.
