Tools and Equipment
We provide everything—products, tools, pins, and combs—practically everything you need to complete your course. That way, you don't have to invest extra in an expensive kit on top of your tuition fee. While you are learning about the different tools and products for your professional hair styling kit, we give you full access to use ours in the classroom. Our brands include KYK Hair Care, Schwarzkopf Professional, DesignMe, Milk Shake, Tigi, and many more! We carry a variety of brands because we want our students to experience as many as possible and not be restricted to learning from just one standard kit.
Picture yourself confidently walking into any hair store and knowing exactly how to select the perfect products and tools for your hair styling kit, without having to ask the store assistant for their preference. That's precisely the type of education we deliver, and it's all included in your tuition fee.
Simply put, we provide everything needed in class. The only items we ask students to bring are a long hair mannequin head with a clamp, a curling wand, and a hair dryer. You can choose to bring these items from home or purchase them from our professional range of products. Upon enrollment, we'll provide all the details.
