As a high quality hairdressing school, we are dedicated to fostering confident, skilled hair designers. In our classrooms, we embrace an innovative and comprehensive classroom that connects with and supports all types of learning styles. We incorporate online learning, visual exercises and hands-on activities to support our students in their learning. Our hairdressing college provides a well rounded education, with an emphasis on hands-on experience.

Pivot Point hair dressing academy is a strong advocate for education beyond the classroom; we strive to offer our students creative experience with opportunities to participate in industry events, runway shows, photo shoots, session styling events. We encourage students interested in competitive styling to enter competitions in every category from avant-garde styling to men’s catwalk. We hold an annual mannequin competition where our students go up against hairdressing students from all over Australia, and submissions are judged by high profile hairdressing icons.

Another essential component to education at Pivot Point hair dressing academy is working in the Academy Salon, where our students gain real salon experience. In the salon area of the academy, the students are in charge: they make appointment bookings, consult with clients, perform salon services, conduct transactions and build their own clientele. Salon educators circulate and are always available to offer guidance and support. We believe that real salon experience is the best possible preparation for real life in the salon.

Pivot Point Academy hairdressing school has a close relationship with the hairdressing industry. Many of our educators are practicing hairdressers or former business owners, and can provide valuable insight and experience. We keep our finger on the pulse of industry news and get involved in professional events to stay on top of the latest developments and trends in hairdressing. This helps ensure that the skills and methods we instil in our students are up to date and valuable assets on the salon floor.
