The Intermediate Level at Advanced Hair Academy (AHA)
The Intermediate Level at AHA is designed for students who have mastered the basics of hairstyling and are ready to elevate their skills. Here, you'll dive deeper into advanced techniques and styling methods, with the opportunity to practice and refine your skills in a real-world salon setting.
What You’ll Learn:
Mastery Skills: Build on your foundational knowledge by learning more complex techniques such as advanced braiding, intricate updos, cutting-edge haircuts, color applications, and texturing methods. You’ll gain confidence in perfecting these skills and develop your own personal style.
Practice Opportunities: You will have the chance to practice your new skills on classmates or live clients. This hands-on experience will allow you to perfect your techniques in a live environment, preparing you for real-world hairstyling challenges.
Professional path- Training to Be an Assistant:
In addition to mastering hairstyling techniques, you can choose to train as an assistant in the salon, where you'll gain practical experience in customer service, assisting stylists, and learning how to handle the business side of the salon. You’ll work alongside professionals, gaining valuable mentorship while earning money as you develop your skills.
Salon Mock Styling Stations:
During this phase, you'll practice in our salon’s mock styling stations, where you'll simulate the experience of working with clients in a professional salon setting. This is a crucial step before progressing to the Mastery Level, as it allows you to become comfortable with the pace and demands of the industry.
Graduating to Mastery Level:
Once you've mastered the intermediate techniques and completed the assistant training (if chosen), you will graduate to the Mastery Level. At this stage, you'll be able to work unsupervised, assisting experienced stylists, and even take your own clients. You’ll have gained the confidence, experience, and professionalism required to thrive in the industry.
This level of training prepares you for the future as a stylist, giving you the tools to become a sought-after professional, whether you're styling your own clients or working your way up within a salon environment
