The Face Behind the Business
Hello everyone,
I’m Katy, the face behind the business, I have been behind the chair for over 20 years and a hairdressing college lecturer. I’m now taking my training beyond the classroom to build a hair academy designed for those who want to aim higher, succeed, and discover a true passion for the craft of hairdressing.
Hair styling and transformation is far more than a typical 9–5 career. It requires dedication, skill, and creativity, a passion that evolves into hard work. Every day brings new learners and clients who place their trust in your expertise. Growth comes through commitment, practice, and a desire to continuously improve.
If you’re eager to learn, develop your skills, and understand that hair is so much more than a simple cut or colour, Edu-Kate Hair Academy is here to guide you. Our training is built to nurture talent and dedication, helping you take the first steps toward a rewarding and fulfilling career in hair.
