At Francesco Hair Salon, we believe that continuous education is what makes a hairdresser great.
That’s why our stylists receive ongoing training throughout their careers, helping them stay ahead of trends, refine their skills, and deliver outstanding results for every single client.
It’s this commitment to education that has helped us develop some of the best trained hair stylists in the UK.
What Makes Us Different?
Many hairdressers complete their initial training and then rely largely on day-to-day salon experience to develop their skills. At Francesco Hair Salons, their education never stops.
Our Advanced Academy was created to bridge a gap we often see within the industry. While many stylists leave training with strong technical foundations, they don’t always receive the ongoing support needed to build confidence, creativity, client communication skills, and long term career success.
That’s why we’ve created a complete 360° education programme designed to help our team thrive.

Our Advanced Academy covers:
• Colour
• Cutting
• Barbering
• Curly and textured hair
• Business development
• Social media and personal branding
• Team building and communication
This well rounded approach means our stylists don’t just become technically skilled. They become confident professionals who can deliver exceptional results and an outstanding salon experience every single day.
Our Advanced Academy is led by an exceptional team of educators who are passionate about developing the next generation of hair experts.
Together, they provide ongoing mentoring, inspiration and advanced hairdressing training that keeps our teams evolving throughout their careers.

A Stylist’s Perspective

Today, thanks to Francesco Hair’s continued investment in education, I feel confident welcoming and looking after any client who walks through the salon door. Ongoing training keeps me inspired, motivated and able to bring the latest ideas, trends and techniques directly to my clients.
