Course Overview
Jennie brings over 30 years of industry experience to her teaching – from having trained at Vidal Sassoon in her early years, to working internationally with some of the Film & Music worlds’ biggest start across her incredible career. Jennie has been a regular guest-tutor at the Academy for a number of years, teaching on our internationally-renowned Afro Hair Styling courses and we couldn’t be more excited to launch this new course in close collaboration with her.
As our industry is ever changing & evolving, this course is born from Session Artists’, Hairdressers & Salon Owners’ desire to become more inclusive & diverse in your skill-set & artistry working with Tightly Curled & Coiled Afro-textured hair.
This course is designed by Jennie & the Academy to empower you with CoreCutting-Techniques, that will see you confidently offer your cutting-services to any client within the beautifully diverse spectrum of different, natural Afro-Hair Textures, from the looser 3A, B & C Curls – to the tighter 4A, B & C Coils.
