What is the routine at the Cork academy of hairdressing?

Beginners courses are of eight months duration, approx, and are made up of classes lasting four weeks each, with expert tutors to guide you step by step through all the essential elements of hairdressing. You start by learning basic skills and progress to creating your own designs.

Before you move to a new class you are given a practical examination and if you have not yet been able to achieve everything demanded, you are held back until you have the confidence and skills required for that class. Standards are high and class numbers are small allowing for close personal attention. Our aim is to turn out the best personal hairdressers in the country, if not Europe.

Visit our college and you will experience the close and friendly atmosphere that has always impressed students, visitors and examiners.
