Have been on Salon Creative and ABC now and both courses have taught me so much every time. The way I cut hair & think about hair cuts has changed completely – in the best way!!

Attended ABC Complete

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you on behalf of myself and the other two KH hair owners. Three team members attended last weeks ABC cutting course and were absolutely blown away. Thank you so much they have gained so much from attending.

I was recommended this course through a previous diploma student. It has opened me up to many different ways which hairdressing can take me without just working in a salon. I have learnt so much since being with Sassoon, when I started I couldn’t hold scissors and didn’t think in 6 months I would be creating some of the cuts and colours which I have been. Sassoon has been extremely beneficial to me in many ways.

Attended 30 Week Diploma

Testimonial: Where can I start? The cutting courses at Sassoon have taken me to a different level in my understanding of the concept of precision hair cutting techniques. The courses are inspirational, motivational and creative yet there is still a practical emphasis so that the new techniques learnt can be assimilated into your salon work. I recommend all of the Sassoon courses yet the stand out course for me was the barbering, and considering the growth of the male market, in that I returned from the course I increased my male clientele by 30%. Sassoon courses stand head and shoulders above all over courses, and believe me I have tried others, they truly are the world leaders in Hair Design and creativity so if you want to invest in your career look no further than the Sassoon academy.

Testimonial: This course is very exciting for me to able to see and understand the new collection from Sassoon. The demos are very detailed and amazing. I am able to understand the technique and shapes of the hairstyle that were used and created. The instructors are all very friendly and nice. They are very patient to guide me through the whole cutting guides and technique. The team is very unique and their ways of cutting are super detailed and extraordinary. I will come back for other courses in the future for sure.

Attended Collection Course

I really enjoyed the course and felt I learnt a lot from it. It has really helped my confidence levels and I have a clearer understanding of how to use angles when achieving different looks. I’m using the different techniques in the salon on a daily basis. I’d love to come back to do another course and would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is a lacking confidence in their technical ability.

Attended ABC Cut

I was delighted to experience the ABC course and was very inspired by the academy itself and my teachers. I use many of the techniques I have learnt from the course in my everyday work and will definitely attend more courses in the future. As a newly qualified stylist the course gave me the confidence I needed to achieve my goals in making my clients feel and look better. The abc course helped me to define my lines and shapes and proved to me...you can never stop learning, no matter how old you are.
