Congratulations on these wonderful women who completed their professional hair styling with us! Some travelled from the other side of the city, others left their children with dad for the first time in order to get here to make it happen. Where there is a will there is a way 🥰⁠
HAIR-TASTIC 🪮⁠ ⁠ The best hairstylists never stop learning! Our 5 week EXPRESS hair pro course starts in 2 DAYS 😱Who's ready?!⁠ ⁠ 📲 Visit academyofhairandmakeup.com to learn more about our courses ⁠
ND JUST LIKE THAT... 🎓️⁠ ⁠ Our hairstyling students have just graduated! After 10 weeks of commitments, they finished off by today by completing 5 professional hair styles in under 6 hours. They proudly received their certificates and as always, we posed for photos! It’s our tradition ❤️⁠ ⁠ Congratulations @__niikkiiiii @glamour.cassie @makeupby__ellis @anusunnypannu @suzyalii @crazycatsladymisa @dolledupbysumaira @bethaniabuesomakeup⁠ ⁠ 📲 Visit academyofhairandmakeup.com and be a part of this life changing experience⁠
THE HIGH POINTS OF THE FACE 😃⁠ ⁠ Shimmery cheeks are IN!

I have just completed my hair styling course! In any industry, there is always more to learn & I have loved every minute of developing my existing skills even further. I learnt SO much in the past 10 weeks. New techniques, new styles, new ways of using products, I learnt all about the business side to hair styling & so much more. Apart from all that amazing new knowledge, I learnt a lot about myself. The fact that I could jump back into the world of hair, gain confidence, build friendships & come out feeling inspired & empowered was by far the best part. My trainer, Alondra from @academy_of_hair_and_makeup, gave the gift of her experience & went above and beyond to share so much more than technical skill. She really wants her students to succeed & I’m so grateful to her & for the opportunity to learn from her & for her selflessness of sharing far more than I expected to learn. If you’ve ever thought about a career in hair styling or make up artistry, you can’t go wrong by signing up to learn from her! I’m really excited to jump in with both feet & see where this new journey takes me.
WRITE THIS DOWN! 📝⁠ ⁠ We give our students a kit to kick start their career in the industry!* We do this for 2 reasons, firstly to keep the costs down for our students, a kit can cost upwards of $1000!⁠ ⁠ Secondly, we don't want to restrict our students by learning from 1 kit and 1 brand. We want our students to be able to walk into any Mecca or Sephora and know exactly what to buy! ⁠ ⁠ So while you are learning about the best professional products for you, we invite you to use our products in the classroom.⁠ ⁠ *We only ask our students to bring a handful of smaller items, like a hair curler, mannequin head, face wipes or cotton tips etc. Don't worry, we will send you all the details when you enrol. ⁠ 📲 Visit academyofhairandmakeup.com to learn more about our courses ⁠ ⁠
BRAIDS AND TWISTS 🌪️ ⁠ Amongst the 40 professional hair styles we teach in great detail, we teach our students how to braid!⁠ ⁠ Not only is it a convenient hairstyle, but it also serves as a protective style that will help your natural hair grow faster! Braids help lock the moisture into your hair and prevent excessive split ends my shielding your hair from heat damage, dryness and over styling.⁠ ⁠ We keep up to date on all the latest styles and trends. The styles you will specialise in are what client’s are requesting most!⁠ ⁠ 📲 Visit academyofhairandmakeup.com to learn more about our courses ⁠ ⁠
