Hairdresser Training

Zappas Hair Academy - Training The Best Hairdressers

Training is key to the success of the zappas hairdressing group. A strong focus on on-going training and education has created a first-class system that has resulted in the growth and maintenance of a highly skilled team.

Internal training, backed where necessary by external educational courses, has helped to attract school-leavers and encouraged our staff to remain loyal to zappas.  Constant and successful training also gives our stylists the opportunity to grow within the zappas system.

We believe the zappas training programme is superior because it has been a primary consideration since the outset of the business. Over the years, zappas have always ensured that team training is a key part of salon success. From the outset, our small team and loyal clientele set out the blueprint for a success story.

We partner with the best in the business and are proud to be a member of the L’Oréal Portfolio of artistic hairdressers. You will have access to a choice of tailored training course to help with your personal development.  These include the L'Oreal Colour Degree course and training on fashion colour techniques and men’s barbering skills.
