FAQ

1) Is the course for beginners or is it an advanced course?

We offer both beginner and advanced classes. See the course Info for more details.

2) Will I be able to open a hairstyling business with the skills I learn from the course?

Yes, many students who have graduated from my courses now run successful business in hairstyling. You gain both knowledge and skills in hair dressing techniques, as well as marketing and customer retention skills throughout the course.

3) Do I need to have any prior knowledge in hair / wig styling before taking the course?

No, you do not need any prior knowledge to take the basic training course. However, I do recommend some prior knowledge and/or experience in the industry before enrolling in any of the advanced courses that are offered.

4) Are supplies included?

Supplies are not included in the price of the course, but once enrolled, all students do have the option to purchase all supplies through the Academy at a wholesale rate.

5) Are the courses hands on or more of a demo style?

All the courses (both basic and advanced) are hands on classes. All techniques taught are demonstrated and then performed by each student to ensure that all skills are learnt correctly.

6) What are the Specialty Classes?

Specialty classes are one-time classes where Shani brings in a hairstylist in the industry who has a specific skill set that they are known for and together we create a curriculum. The classes are usually demo style and catered to more advanced students. Details for each one of these specialty classes are advertised 1-2 months before the class.

7) Do I receive a certificate at the end of class?

Yes, all students that graduate from the basic training course and wig cutting courses receive a certificate. However, they are not registered licenses and do not give you accreditation like a cosmetology license would.

8) If I have any questions in between classes or after I finish the course, is there someone I can reach out to??

Yes, Shani prides herself in always being available for her students, whether they are current or past students. You can find her contact info on the website and reach out with any questions or concerns you may have.
