Learn in real salons, build practical skills and work towards becoming a qualified hairdresser with structured training behind you.
A hairdressing apprenticeship is where formal training and salon experience come together. At Epic Hair Designs, apprentices work inside our Brisbane and Gold Coast salons while developing practical cutting, colouring, styling, consultation and client service skills.
Epic Salon Academy is a Registered Training Organisation delivering nationally recognised hairdressing training from its purpose built Ascot campus in Brisbane.
Join an Epic salon as an apprentice and learn the rhythm of real client service, teamwork, basin work, salon operations and professional standards.
Develop cutting, colouring, styling, consultation and client skills through structured practical training, workplace learning and nationally recognised study.
Complete the trade qualification and continue building your career as an emerging stylist, qualified hairdresser and, over time, a senior stylist or leader.
Hairdressing is practical. The strongest training combines theory with repetition, supervised client work and guidance from people who understand current salon expectations.
Epic apprentices develop their craft alongside qualified hairdressers and educators, with training covering the technical and professional skills needed to progress in the industry.
