For salon owners

You can’t find good hairdressers. We know.

The apprenticeship route takes four to six years, and the industry loses too many people somewhere in the middle of it. That leaves salons short-staffed through no fault of their own. We built this Academy to shorten the route and hand you someone who is genuinely ready.

“I am so glad this is happening. I cannot get a good hairdresser.”

What you’re hiring
  • 01

    Technical ability

    Client-ready from day one

    Consultation, client care, retail and salon floor experience gained in a working commercial salon, not simulated.

    Retail, aftercare, rebooking and the basics of how a salon actually makes money.

  • 04

    Less onboarding

    They’ve already done the job. You’re integrating someone, not starting them.
