Hearing that a client would like to make our Student Salon their regular pedicure spot means so much to our learners and the team supporting them. πŸ’›

Every appointment helps our learners develop their skills and confidence, and kind words like these give them even more reason to feel proud of their progress.

πŸ’¬ More amazing feedback!πŸ’›

We love hearing from clients who visit our Student Salons, and your kind words mean so much to our learners and the team supporting them.

Providing hair and beauty treatments to paying clients can feel daunting when you’re learning. A positive review helps build confidence, celebrates their hard work and reminds them how far they’ve come. ✨

After a little over 2 years being based at Dobson House, Regent's Centre, we are very excited to announce that from early September our Newcastle Academy will have a new home.

We will be relocating into the centre of Newcastle, on the prestigious Grey Street. Our new Academy will be homed within the stunning The Bloom Project workspace.

This is a reflection of how our Hair & Beauty training for both apprentices and adult learners has grown over the last 24 months and that is in part down to our wonderful clients who support us by putting their trust in our learners to provide treatments as part of their learning and assessments.

We hope many of you will continue coming in and receiving treatments in our new site.

The exact date of opening will be shared as soon as it is confirmed and we will provide details of our π›π«πšπ§π 𝐧𝐞𝐰 booking system also
