Courses:
LEVEL 1: BASICS
Immersed in the practical and hands-on aspects of cutting hair, you will develop a solid foundation of skills and knowledge to build upon throughout the program. Cutting, shampooing, draping, wet setting and thermal styling go hand in hand with client relation skills and the science behind the style: trichology, anatomy, bacteriology and sanitation. Through hands-on practice, in-class demonstrations and mannequin work, you’ll gain a “toolkit” of style elements that will allow you to replicate any cut. You’ll also develop the confidence to make the move from the classroom to Q&A, our student salon, where you’ll perform your new skills on real clients in real time.
LEVEL 2: COLOUR THEORY
Learn to harness the vast potential of hue in this hands-on study of advanced colour theory and practical application of dye.

Master the intricacies of bleach and tone, tackle colour corrections, and learn the importance of client consultation in working with this creative chemical medium.

Learn to cornrow hair for single and full-head braids, apply hair and attach wefts to a single-track row, double track row and full head weave placement. Delving deeper into the art of extensions, we’ll examine different styles of individual strand applications, including fusions, clip-ins, tape-ins and Euro Locks. Our expert instructors will guide you through wig building and custom fitting, and coach you in the importance of client consultation.
LEVEL 5: MAKEUP
A well-rounded hair professional who can execute a complete look will always have a competitive edge. From casual daytime makeup and evening glamour to bridal glow and photoshoot-ready skin corrections, this course gives you an introduction to professional makeup application.

Putting theory into practice, you’ll conceive and create a winning on-screen look, which will be captured in a professional photoshoot.
LEVEL 7: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Here’s where your creativity takes flight. Together we’ll examine the latest hair trends and techniques for runway and fashion editorial, break down on-set etiquette and show you how to coordinate hair with the artistic vision of a creative team – makeup artists, fashion stylists and photographers. Your portfolio will take shape as you develop styles for avant-garde, editorial, bridal, elegant evening, long hair and fantasy looks for a series of professional photo shoots.
