Professional Hairdressing Training
Our training program isn't about quick fixes or overnight transformations. It's built around what actually works when you're learning a skilled craft. We've designed this with beginners and career changers in mind—people who want real skills they can use professionally.
Get StartedWhat You'll Learn
Foundation Skills
We start with the basics because that's where confidence comes from. You'll spend time understanding hair types, textures, and how different techniques affect different people. This matters more than most training programs acknowledge.
Core Techniques
Cutting, styling, and color application form the backbone of what you'll practice. We focus on classical methods first—the ones that have stood the test of time in busy salons. Once those feel natural, we introduce contemporary approaches.
Hands-On Practice
- Sectioning and parting techniques that make complex cuts manageable
- Blow-drying methods for various hair lengths and textures
- Color mixing and application with focus on consistency
- Client consultation skills that actually help you understand what people want
The program runs for nine months, with sessions scheduled twice weekly. That pacing gives you time to practice between classes and develop muscle memory. You can't rush skill development—we've tried shorter formats, and they don't stick.
Professional Development
Technical skills are only part of working in a salon. We also cover the practical side of building a career in this field. How do you handle a client who's unhappy? What do you do when you're running behind schedule? These situations come up constantly, and knowing how to navigate them makes a real difference.
Business Fundamentals
Understanding salon operations helps whether you're working for someone else or thinking about opening your own place eventually. We discuss scheduling, product inventory, pricing structures, and client retention—all from a practical standpoint rather than theoretical.
Building Your Portfolio
Throughout the program, you'll document your work. This becomes your portfolio, which matters when you're looking for employment. We guide you on photography, presentation, and how to showcase your range without overwhelming potential employers.
By the final months, you'll work with real clients under supervision. That transition from practice models to paying customers can feel intimidating, but it's necessary. You learn to manage time pressure, unexpected challenges, and the emotional side of making someone feel good about their appearance.
Program Structure
Beginning Phase
The first three months focus entirely on fundamentals. You'll practice basic cuts repeatedly until they become automatic. This might feel slow, but there's no shortcut to developing steady hands and consistent technique.
Key Focus Areas
Understanding hair structure, basic cutting angles, shampooing and conditioning techniques, workplace safety and hygiene standards. We also introduce you to the tools and equipment you'll use throughout your career.
Intermediate Development
Months four through six expand your repertoire. You'll learn more complex cutting techniques, begin working with color, and practice various styling methods. The pace picks up here because you've built a foundation to work from.
Advanced Techniques
Layering, texturizing, advanced color application including highlights and balayage, thermal styling with flat irons and curling tools, updos and formal styling. Client consultation becomes more detailed during this phase.
Professional Practice
The final three months prepare you for actual salon work. You'll handle real appointments, manage your time independently, and deal with the unpredictability of working with diverse clients. This is where everything comes together—or where you discover what still needs work.
Real-World Preparation
Working under time constraints, handling difficult situations professionally, building efficiency without sacrificing quality, developing your personal style and approach. We also help with job search preparation and portfolio finalization.
Small Class Sizes
We keep groups at eight students maximum. This isn't about exclusivity—it's about making sure everyone gets proper attention and feedback. Larger groups mean less individual guidance, which slows down skill development.
Flexible Scheduling
Classes run in the evening and on weekends, designed for people who are working while training. We understand that career changes don't happen in a vacuum. You need to maintain income while building new skills.
Equipment Provided
All tools and products are included during training. You'll eventually want to build your own kit, but you don't need to invest in professional equipment before you know what you prefer working with.
