About the Program
The Scalp Health & Hair Care Science Certification is USTI's newest credential, designed and written from the ground up by the institute that set the standard in trichology. Every day, clients sit in chairs with flaking, itching, thinning, and product confusion, and the professional in front of them has no real answer. This certification exists to make you the one who does.
It is built to fit a working life: visual-first lessons with all-new graphics in every chapter, an At Your Own Pace format you can complete around a full schedule, and a live virtual option if you learn best in a real class. Worth 10 Continuing Education (CE) Credits through the US Trichology Institute, with an optional AMCA certificate included in every tier.
Who It's For
Designed for hairstylists, barbers, cosmetologists, educators, and beauty professionals ready to stand out. Whether you are building deeper client trust behind the chair or sharing science-backed knowledge with an audience, this certification equips you to deliver personalized, long-term scalp and hair care solutions.
