History
Established in 1954.
Throughout the past twenty years, Guy's Shreveport Academy of Cosmetology has continued to maintain and expand its reputation locally and in the surrounding communities. Guy's Shreveport Academy of Cosmetology, Inc. purchased the partnership on September 1, 2000. Following the death of Mr. Ferguson in January 2001, Mr. Burch purchased his stock and became sole stockholder.
On March 26, 2003, a fire destroyed the Youree Drive location. Students missed only nine days of class, as we relocated in a temporary building in Shreve City on the 8th of April. Construction on the new building began in July 2003. On December 1, 2003, the new state of the art cosmetology school, known as, Guy's Academy-Hair, Skin & Nails, opened at 1141 Shreveport Barksdale Highway in a 10,260 square foot facility.
