The agreement brings together Istituto Marangoni’s long‑standing academic excellence and L’Oréal Italia’s global Leadership, opening the doors of the Group’s ecosystem to students and professionals and offering them concrete pathways for growth in the Premium and Luxury beauty Market.

This initiative, promoted by hair “Master” Rossano Ferretti, aims to develop advanced skills in beauty (from hair design to make-up, from creative direction to brand management) through an approach that blends aesthetics, innovation, and contemporary culture.

The partnership is part of the new academic offer dedicated to Beauty, which also includes first-level Bachelor’s Degrees validated by AFAM.
In this way, Istituto Marangoni stands out as the first international Group to invest in a beauty education offer with official academic validation.

The educational offer of the Partnership

The project includes the development of three new courses:

• Undergraduate three-year course (starting in October), with three specialisation pathways: Hair Design, Brand Management, Make-up Art
• Introductory Short Course
• Highly specialised programmes dedicated to professionals and to the L’Oréal network

All participants will have access to the facilities and laboratories of the L’Oréal Italia Academy, a centre of excellence for technical training.

Thanks to the collaboration with the Professionnel division, students will be able to connect with leading partner salons and access tangible career opportunities.
