In Moroccan Arabic we call such speciality as " فنون الحلاقة" literaly " The Arts of Hairdressing"

agree Ingeborg Gowans (X) : I cannot comment on the Arabic, but I would imagine this makes sense under the name of the school. unless it can be proven wrong

IMAC

I agree with Mr. Masmoudi, but that A. maybe stands for Apprentissage ( ta alum ) as well.

I suggest that you should leave the acronym as it is :)

A tip : If you change the name IMAC and try to translate it into English, nobody would recognize that name here in Morocco. Clients/people know it as IMAC but they wouldn't know for example MIAH or MAHI .... Good luck
