Kevin taught us so much in those 5 days. He was so patient with everyone and explained everything so clearly…He’s given me the confidence to experiment with hair & taught me so many techniques.

What a brilliant 3 days it was. I have learnt an incredible amount and highly recommend it to anyone who needs to have a better understanding of Afro-textured hair!

The course provides a great combination of in-depth theory, paired with plenty of hands-on training, which has left me immeasurably more confident!

In a matter of 5 days I learnt so many techniques that I think every make-up & hair artist needs to know. There is not a single day I don’t use Kevin’s techniques! I feel at the top of my game now for sure!

I really loved how we went in-depth about the art of afro hair styling. Explaining how to become more confident with your clients, which I have been applying ever since and it has resulted in a high confidence boost.

Honestly one of the best decisions I have ever made…The teaching is exceptional, every student gets the help they need and never one did I feel I wasn’t getting the attention or tuition I required…It’s fully prepared and developed me as a stylist.

Brooke Lee Davies, THE ART OF HAIR STYLINGLondon 2019

The AFRO HAIR course exceeded my expectations! We came away with so much knowledge and I learnt so many different techniques. There is so much background work going on to make sure students are getting the best education. I cannot recommend this academy highly enough!

Kevin spent a lot of time making sure we learn every single technique…I would recommend this academy for everyone who is looking to upgrade their skills and learn lots of new things.

I had the pleasure of doing 3 courses and I couldn’t be more delighted and thankful about how Kevin and Martin drive the learning sessions. A very highly educative program, where every technique is carefully broken down and taught in order to provide students with the most competitive and current techniques.
