Any problems and you can contact your tutor without hesitation which is the best part. Meeting other students was great too as we were all from different backgrounds, ethnicity and professions. The course exceeded my expectations.

  • The colouring fast track course was a great way to learn and start to gain knowledge into what is actually involved into hair colouring. Definitely would recommend this course due to its knowledgeable and highly experienced tutor. Learning methods were practical and to the point (not longwinded!) Course materials were informative and easy to understand and exceeded my expecations.Sid has great way of teaching his years of experience within the hairdressing profession with easy to learn techniques. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and already have a few friends lined up for their hair colouring and root touch ups! so I am able to put my coursework into practice this weekend already!
    Definitely, due to the course content and the procedures set out for the practical work also where live models were also provided. The venue was set in busy location with all amenities easily accessible. Times of course were suitable also as rush hour traffic were avoidable during the morning and evening. The venue itself was excellently well organised and all course materials provided within the price of the course, so you were not carrying loads of materials with you.

What I would highlight: Sid did a wonderful job of teaching me in a very simplified way the Fast Track Contemporary Ladies Haircutting Course. Theory and practical work was very well balanced and Sid also provided our live models! This course was worthwhile and I have already been able to put into practice what I was taught with excellent feedback, so looking forward to do more haircuts by word-of-mouth. Sid was very focused on teaching us the correct way to ensure good hair cut. The course was definitely a venue where you are there to learn and not mess about. Im now making preparation to hopefully have my own room to rent out with a friend (to start off with and gradually build up on my knowledge and what I was taught at the Academy.) Venue was easy to find and transport was excellent as well places to eat with reasonable prices!!
