Before creating the Academy, I have been a bridal hair and Makeup artist for over 6 years.
I create natural hairstyles for my “natural haired” brides, giving them confidence and making them feel even more beautiful, rocking their natural hair.
Unfortunately, most schools and colleges do not teach afro hair styling, as a standard. To learn how to style afro hair, you will need to research an institution which includes it as a module, and they are few and far between. For this reason, the academy was created and is here to help.
I look forward to the day when it will be mandatory for all hairstyling schools to teach afro hair.
However, this will not happen overnight but you as a hairstylist attending the academy can start immersing yourself into the world of Afro hair. Even just having a basic understanding of the versatility of Afro hair, can benefit you and make a huge difference within the wedding industry.
After all, Knowledge is power!!
