Absolutely. We’ll respect your NVQ training and use this program to give you a head start for when you finish college and step onto the salon floor.

It’s focused on real-world salon skills, not abstract creativity. The aim is confidence and problem-solving.

Maximum of 10 students, with a 10:1 student-to-teacher ratio to keep training personal and hands-on.

Single-session bookings are non-refundable. Accelerator students who miss a class can catch up via our online portal, community group, and tutor support.

Respect is at the heart of everything. When someone speaks, we listen. We start and finish on time, and expect punctuality and a smart appearance. From day one, we want you to think, act, and look like the high-flying hairdresser you’re becoming.

If you’re struggling, we’ll support you — but commitment is key. Students who lose interest, disrupt, or stop attending on time may be asked to leave, with no refund, to protect the learning experience for others.

No. This program is for almost-qualified stylists through to experienced professionals. A range of levels helps build leadership. It isn’t suitable for those with less than 1 year of hairdressing school experience.
