Hair Design Program

Program Overview

The Academy of Excellence facility is designed to replicate a professional spa and salon. Students work on guests in a professional environment, giving them the tools and experiences to be able to walk straight out of our training into this exciting industry as a fully qualified Hair Stylist. Students are graded on both theory and practical. Theory consists of instructor- led classroom lectures, assigned projects and exams. Practical involves working on mannequins, classmates, models and guests. In the Hair Design Diploma Program, students will learn the theory, procedures and practices in the following subject areas:

Professional Development

Hair Design is the art and science of beauty care. Success as a professional Hair Stylist comes from your personal commitment to the development of healthy body and mind, effective communication and positive human relations.

Salon Ecology

A healthy and safe environment requires an understanding of infection control and how to sanitize tools and guest areas.

Trichology

Learn the relaxing art of Scalp Massage with the use of essential oils. You will be more successful with the treatments you perform if you know the composition, structure and behavior of hair, how to evaluate it for product selection and how to properly drape and shampoo the guest. Guests may choose you specifically for the wonderful shampoo and massage you offer.

Design Decisions

You will be the professional that guests depend on to help them make important decisions about their hair, fashion and makeup. Your role as an image-maker will prove to be very rewarding for both you and your guest. Design decisions are based on the considerations you make about proportion, results and the guest consultation and your understanding of design composition.

Haircolouring

As an artist uses paint to express artistic talents, a Hair Stylist uses hair colouring. Understanding colour, being able to identify the guest’s existing hair colour and knowing how to change it is a wonderful experience for both you and your guest. Learn Full Colour, Highlighting, Lowlighting, Ombre & Baylayage colour techniques to create dramatic and bold new looks for your guests.

Chemical Texturizing

Your study and practice of Chemical Texturizing gives you the ability to chemically alter the texture of hair, greatly expanding the treatments you are able to offer your guests. Chemical Relaxing and Curl Reforming provide major chemical changes for the hair that offer a guest new options for cuts and styles. With the wonders of chemical texturizing, no head of hair has to stay in its original condition.
