Hairdressing has always been my passion, from an early age I knew what I wanted to do! In the last 26 years I have worked in four different salons, gaining knowledge and experience on my way. I’ve ran and owned my own salon and met lots of interesting people. I joined The Hair Academy to work with learners and show them the joy of hairdressing, so that they become as passionate about this fantastic industry as I am.

Outside of the academy I enjoy socialising with my friends, watching a good movie with my husband and standing on a wet and windy football pitch on a Saturday morning watching my sons play.

Hi my name is Alison I work as an Assessor at The Hair Academy. I work here two days a week training NVQ Level 2 work based Learners. I also work as a stylist in Keith Francis Tenterden, which keeps me current and connected to salon experience.

I love the creativity and variety of Hairdressing as a career, every day is different bringing new challenges and opportunities. I moved into teaching gradually over the years and get enormous satisfaction from watching my Learners develop the skills they will need to become successful busy stylists in the future.

At The Academy we offer personalised training to meet individual needs in small friendly groups in an encouraging atmosphere to enable them to reach their full potential.

In my personal time I enjoy fitness classes and love to ski in the French Alps on holiday.

Hi my name is Kay and I have been hairdressing 27 years. I chose hairdressing as a career because it is creative and social and no two days are ever the same! And I personally didn’t want to sit behind a desk all day as I had at school for a career.

Over the years I have become more and more passionate about my career and the journey it has taken me on, and I love that I have the opportunity to pass on my skills, and knowledge to a new generation of hairdressers, encouraging and inspiring then to be the stylists of tomorrow, but above all how rewarding it is to see students complete their NVQ.

When I’m not working I enjoy spending time socialising with my friends and family or working on interior design projects. I also enjoy cooking and entertaining.

My own personal goal before Christmas is to get back in the gym! As I have had little time over the last few years… so no more munchies guys!!!!

Since an early age I knew I wanted to be a hairdresser, after working my way up in the salon as a busy stylist, I decided that I needed a new challenge, passing on my knowledge to up and coming stylists had always been a passion of mine. Now I get to do that everyday in a job I love, there is no better feeling than seeing a young/mature person progress in both confidence and skill.

When I’m not at The Hair Academy you can find me socialising and travelling with friends.

I have been working for the Hair Academy for almost 5 years, before this I was a busy stylist in a salon. One day I was asked if I could take one of the training sessions in the salon and really enjoyed it. I was due a change of career, but did not want to give up the hairdressing side of things. I applied for a teaching/assessing position at The Hair Academy and never looked back.

I enjoy watching and teaching the next generation of stylists, and every day is different. I work with a great group of assessors who each bring something different to the Academy. We all make learning fun and interactive.

When not working at the Academy you can find me out in my caravan or watching motor sports, I particularly enjoy the Formula 1.

I started my career in hairdressing as a Saturday girl at the tender age of 13 in a salon on the Edgware Road London and have never looked back. I knew from that first day that hairdressing was for me. I started my 3 year apprenticeship after leaving school and am still learning new things even today. That’s the wonderful thing about hairdressing there is always something new and exciting to learn. And now I get to pass on all my experience to my learners.
