Hairdresser Training

Zappas Hair Academy - Training The Hairdressing Experts of The Future!

At Zappas, training is the heart of our success. Our dedication to ongoing education has built a first class system, helping us grow and maintain a highly skilled team of hairdressing experts.

We offer top-quality internal training and, when needed, backed by external educational courses. This approach not only attracts school leavers like you but also keeps our staff loyal and motivated. Our continuous and effective training programs provide our stylists with fantastic opportunities to advance within the Zappas system.

Our training program stands out because it has been a priority from day one. From our early days, our small team and dedicated clients have shaped our path to success.

We partner with industry leaders and are proud members of the L’Oréal Portfolio of artistic hairdressers. As part of our team, you’ll have access to a variety of customised training courses to boost your personal growth. These include the prestigious L’Oreal Colour Degree course and specialised training in fashion colour techniques and men’s barbering skills.
