I’ve been a hairdresser for over 35 years, and I still love what I do just as much as when I first started. Owning my own salon is a dream come true, and it gives me the chance to combine creativity with my passion for people. Along the way, I’ve achieved my Level 2 and 3 NVQs, a teaching degree, and an Assessor’s Award, which means I can also share my skills and knowledge with up-and-coming stylists. For me, it’s all about making clients feel great and helping the next generation of hairdressers grow in confidence.

Our 18-week fast-track courses take place at stā studios, right in the heart of London. The venue is a bright and modern creative space just a short walk from key london tube and rail stations.

I can confidently say that Marie was the backbone of our course-without her, we would have been lost. She has a firm yet supportive approach that truly pushes you to improve.

 Her warm and encouraging approach creates such a positive learning environment, and I always leave her sessions feeling more skilled and motivated.

Marie was absolutely great in helping me improve on my self confidence … she was always so hands on and ready to help me! didn’t know how to hold a pair of scissors before you came in!
