2021 Special Education Mailer: Academies Offering Career Courses in Hairdressing and more



This coming year we have the joy and excitement of looking forward to getting back into the classroom!


Finally we can look ahead and start opening doors to all the passionate learners eager to begin a new career, and all those eager to upskill themselves with new revenue-creating avenues.


We have also asked various well-known figures in the industry about their thoughts on how best to attack these exciting times and succeed. They have provided some wonderful advice and ideas, published in this mailer!


This year we have the perfect combination for learners with academy classes, specialised in-salon training, and the new industry mainstay – online education. South African learners and stylists can now access the most innovative trends and techniques, forming the building blocks of a successful career.


As we know, hairdressers cannot be replaced by technology. Hairdressing is a very safe, versatile career path with a very high level of creative job satisfaction, one that is completely technology-proof, and that will remain viable for the foreseeable future and beyond. It's also a job that allows you to travel and work worldwide at any stage of your career, opening international options and many doors around the globe!

Milkshake

Georg Marnewick of Milk_shake discusses his brand’s deep commitment to the development of the South African industry

In your mind, what is the most important element in the South African hair and beauty industry?

The most important aspect of training in South Africa is access to immediate online information. The potential for real-time online updates provides up-to-the minute trendsetting information with the click of a button, easily amended immediately when new information is communicated by international suppliers. Our brand prides itself in keeping the Milkshake range in line with customer requirements and market trends on a continuous basis, with each new innovative launch necessitating our training to be on the cutting edge in timing.

The Milkshake brand in South Africa is supported by highly skilled and internationally trained and educated Technical Educators who loves to share their knowledge with potential and/or current salon owners. Our supplier in Italy publishes fantastic training and educational videos, not only for product knowledge, but most importantly, professional technical knowledge i.e. cutting and colouring.

Conversations with Shelene Shaer of Tanaz Hair

L'Oréal Style & Colour Trophy Winner 2021

L'Oréal Style & Colour Trophy Winner Shelene Shaer from Tanaz Hair has spoken before with Hairnews, sharing her thoughts on industry innovations and how to inspire young stylists to keep learning, take pride in education and make themselves available to accept any opportunity, to expand your knowledge and never stop learning.


What would you say is the most important element that you would like to see emphasised in the South African hair and beauty industry?

Education has become even more accessible to those inspired to learn. We have some incredible talented hair artists in South Africa and I have watched over the years how willingly they share their knowledge. It is so easy to look at the international space for education, but we have amazing teachers right here in South Africa.


Between this and the fact that the world has become so small, and the internet giving us access to individuals who share information on a daily basis, there is no excuse not to be educated in this time of the internet age.


What has your experience shown you?

I have always had curiosity and an ability to push myself harder. When I was younger, I did the odd course and with reflection, I could have done many more. The internet changed all that for me. There is not a day that goes by where I don't try to learn something new. This has made me a better hairdresser and teacher and most of all, a better student.

Conversations with Erika De Kock

Educator KMS South Africa

Erika De Kock is the KMS South Africa Educator, a well-known, consistent, and inspiring educator who is passionate about education.


What would you say is the most important element that you would like to see emphasised in the South African hair and beauty industry? What has your experience shown you?

Consistent education! This is one of the most important elements in staying on top of your career as a stylist in South Africa. My personal experience has taught me that consistently growing yourself, especially in our new and challenging life, is the best way forward! Invest in your education, whether it’s time or money, you will reap the rewards of watching your business grow. Attending accredited trainings offer you quality educations that certify you, proving you completed the course with all the necessary skills, and if it’s internationally recognized, you can take that anywhere in the world.


Most significantly, continually upskilling yourself is what will set you apart from your competitors, making you the desired choice of stylist!

Education is your passport to your future!
