Our Training Program

Passion for learning and progression is why we are so successful

Our success comes down to the personalised and exclusive training journey every Epic stylist enjoys. Opening our very own academy in Brisbane in 2017 which is a full functioning salon has given us the advantage to be able to develop our team into Australia’s most advanced hairdressers. Joining our team of hairdressers means beginning your Master Colourist training journey alongside Goldwell while also developing skills internally which is facilitated by our Operations Manager Shayne Wright.

Training is who we are and what makes our teams epic. We invest in every stylist to ensure all our hairdressers complete the globally recognised Goldwell Master Colourist course. Alongside this our teams are trained internally in our Ascot academy by our Operations Manager and Educator, Shayne Wright. Shaynes’ 25 years of education experience with global colour brand Goldwell means our stylists enjoy courses in Balayage, Colour Correction and advanced cutting. Our teams also enjoy experiencing external educational courses focusing on providing exceptional service and leadership development.

Turn your passion for colour into mastery

Styling and up styling

In salon and in our academy

The art to up styling is something all hairdressers should be great at. A great cut and colour can be optimized with a beautiful up-style.

Our team attends day courses to keep these skills at an outstanding level.

We have partnered with Sharon Blain Education and PREMA salon from Sydney and New York to tailor a training program to the needs of our team.

Future leaders training

AFTER COLOUR AND CUTTING TRAINING

Once completing their master colorist journey a hairdresser may be offered to go on our future leader’s program.   We normally have around 5 hairdressers on this program and already we have managers in our salons who achieved the goal by being on our future leader’s program.

This program goes for up to 2 years and covers off subjects like communications skills, holding meetings, personality skills including doing a Myer Briggs test, performance management skills and the list goes on.

We are lucky enough to have the best partnering with us to do these courses including Kym Krey who is very renowned in the industry for her leadership courses.
