Train my staff

As a busy salon owner, you may not have as much time to develop your staff or indeed add to or refresh your own skills as you'd like. Our courses are designed for all levels, from beginners to experienced stylists. Simply choose which level best suits your training needs - we've got them all covered.

If you're interested in Apprenticeships for your staff please email Leigh - [email protected] - the Academy Director at The Training Academy, as the process is slightly different for non-RRI staff.

Don't just take our word for it

Brilliant!!

What's even better is the fact that even though the hairdressers are still in training, they know what they're doing with a pair of scissors (not complete novices!), and there's always a 'tutor' hovering nearby to make sure everything is going smoothly. Brilliant! And, as if it couldn't get any better, the tea and coffee is tasty, and you get a good ol' head massage thrown in when your hair is getting washed. Perfect-o!
