From shampoo to runway styles: What you’ll learn in a professional Hairstyling Program

A great hairstylist does more than just cut hair—they understand technique, trends, and client care from the ground up. Whether your goal is to work in a top salon, backstage at fashion shows, or start your own business, a professional hairstyling program gives you the foundation to succeed.

Start with the Basics: Scalp to Strand

Every great style starts with healthy hair. That’s why professional training begins with understanding scalp care, shampooing techniques, and hair types. You’ll learn how to assess client needs and recommend the right products for lasting results.

Master Cutting & Styling Techniques

Precision cutting is both an art and a science. In your training, you’ll practice blunt cuts, layering, texturizing, and razor work, along with heat styling, blowouts, and updos. You'll learn how to tailor every style to your client’s face shape and hair texture.

Explore Colour, Highlights & Chemical Treatments

Today’s clients want versatility—from balayage to bold fashion colours. A full hairstyling program includes colour theory, formulation, highlights, toning, and chemical services like perms or relaxers. You'll also learn how to correct colour mistakes—a valuable skill in any salon.

Build Real-World Confidence

At Chelsey Institute, students train with real clients under the supervision of licensed instructors. This hands-on experience helps you build confidence, speed, and customer service skills—everything you need to feel job-ready after graduation.

Stay Ahead of Trends

You’ll also explore editorial styling, bridal looks, and high-fashion techniques to stay ahead of trends and expand your portfolio. Many of our graduates go on to work in salons, open their own studios, or freelance in the beauty and fashion industries.
