About Afro Hair Academy NVQ Women's Hairdressing & Gents Barbering
Afro Hair Academy NVQ Women's Hairdressing & Gents Barbering offers both professional salon services and accredited training courses. As a VTCT approved training provider, the academy delivers NVQ Level 2 and 3 hairdressing qualifications with support available through Welsh Government funding.
In the salon, clients can access a full range of hairdressing and barbering services, including hair styling, colouring, extensions, and bridal hair. The academy also offers keratin treatments—a non-chemical treatment designed to eliminate frizz and create soft, tangle-free hair. Specialist SFX makeup services are available too.
For those looking to develop their skills, Afro Hair Academy runs short courses and masterclasses covering gents barbering, women's cutting and styling, textured hair techniques, bridal hair design, and chemical treatments including relaxing, perming, and colouring. Intensive 3-day masterclasses in textured hair barbering and makeup artistry for afro and multi-textured hair are also offered, alongside training in hair extensions application and removal.
Whether you're seeking professional salon treatments or professional development in hair and beauty, Afro Hair Academy combines hands-on expertise with recognised qualifications.
