Education
We provide a range of platforms to our education, in person group classes at our West Yorkshire location, online tutorials and one to one classes.
Our one to one classes are the most booked service for us here at the academy, followed by our foiling class. All our classes are beneficial to anyone needing a little more from their career as a stylist. The classes are all designed with the already qualified stylist in mind, this means if you are already advanced in hairdressing you could be looking for a more technical class which will be ready in the near future.
When you find yourself mastering the basic techniques delivered from your provider, that’s where we come in. We are the stepping stone between your basic skills and taking that further to become more confident in providing your services.

F.LHair Academy ?
Although being behind the chair is my first love, Education is my second. I created this Academy with crucial inclusivity of newly qualified stylists. While being in the hair industry for 22 years I have identified a large gap of education between qualifying in hairdressing and being ready for the salon floor. Speaking as a salon owner and from a business point of view, it is very difficult to find salon ready stylists. Most applicants required more training. In terms of employment time is money, unfortunately without a stylist earning towards the salon that wage is an extra cost that has to be accounted for somehow. Equally taking time away from paying clients to train a stylist leaves you in the same position. This unfortunately creates an impossible circle for both employers and stylists looking for experience. That’s where we felt we needed to step in and provide the help support and guidance to feel confident in providing hairdressing services to your clients.
Getting Started in the Styling Industry
‘How will I ever gain the experience required for a salon position if no one will employ me?’
Ever found yourself asking this question?
That’s where we come in, I decided to take a look at the other side of the industry and began my journey into becoming a qualified hair tutor and assessor. I worked for 3 years in a FE college, this only confirmed what I already knew, More up to date training and realistic salon expectations need to be met. This is NOT me writing off college-based education in fact quite the opposite, the underpinning knowledge you receive from this setting is crucial to the foundation of your career. Hairdressing has evolved greatly over the last decade and I feel the education is yet to catch up with this. Our courses provide a steppingstone between these two stages. We provide up to date and real salon techniques that are seen throughout the industry right now. The location is based within a busy up to date working salon, which is great for those key looks you will be already receiving interest about.
